Failed US orchestra fails again

Failed US orchestra fails again

The San Antonio Symphony Orchestra was dissolved just over two years ago after the board failed to reach agreement with the musicians.

The players promptly regrouped into the San Antonio Philharmonic, excluding all former staff and board members from participating in its affairs. All seemed to be going well, with Jeffrey Kahane flying in as music director, until last month.

One board member is now demanding the return of a $150,000 loan and others are seeking to depose the chairman.

San Antonio is the seventh largest city in the US.
