Message from the board in response to the musicians’ rebellion against the management over the Israel-Palestine war:
MSO Statement, 16 August.
The Board of Melbourne Symphony Orchestra will conduct an independent external review into our policies, procedures and processes following this week’s decision to cancel the concert of Jayson Gillham.
The review will also canvass the events leading up to the decision to cancel the concert scheduled for 15 August 2024.
The Board determined a formal review would provide transparency and certainty for our people – including our musicians, management and employees – and our broader community of audience members, supporters and other stakeholders. The review will help ensure our policies and processes reflect best practice in the contemporary environment.
Noting the letter to the Board from MSO musicians, the Board will provide more information on the review, including the terms of reference, as the details are finalised.
The Melbourne Symphony Orchestra is determined to ensure we have the protocols in place that are fit for purpose for our organisation and the role we play within the community.
