Orchestra goes on strike in Washington DC

The National Symphony Orchestra has erased the start of its season.

Statement from the Kennedy Center:
After months of largely collaborative and constructive labor negotiations, the Kennedy Center and the National Symphony Orchestra (NSO) are disappointed to share that the NSO musicians, AFM Local 161-710, have decided to go on strike, effective today, Friday, September 27, thereby canceling the NSO 2024–2025 Season Opening Gala concert on Saturday, September 28.

That’s San Fran and DC on the picket line. Who’s next?
