An investigation by the Australian Financial Review reveals shady goings on at the trioubled Melbourne Symphony Orchestra. According to the report, smears were spread by CEO Sophie Galaise about board chair Daniel Li, alleging unsubstantiated links to the Chinese Communist Party.
Li had previously called Galaise to account before the board over unauthorised spending of quarter of a million Aussie dollars on a consultant, former Sydney Symphony chief Rory Jeffes, in order to secure a European tour for the orchestra. The tour never happened. If the spending was, as Li says, beyond Galaise’s authority, repayment may be requested.
