STATEMENT FROM THE SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA MUSICIANS’ ASSOCIATION (SOMA)
Australia’s professional orchestral musicians stand in solidarity with and in admiration of our colleagues in the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra.
For too long we have witnessed the musicians of the mighty MSO hamstrung and diminished by decisions beyond their control and in which they did not have a say. Yet in defiance, concert after concert, the orchestra continued to make great art, enriching the lives of its community.
As unionists we always stand strong together, but in times of crisis we hold each other even tighter.
We urge the people of Melbourne and beyond to gather around their orchestra. It is precious and wonderful, and the musicians need your support and solidarity now more than ever.
In plain English: the musicians have performed heroically, despite appalling management. Get rid of the boss class.
