San Francisco sinking

San Francisco sinking

Members of the San Francisco Symphony Chorus voted unanimously last night to authorize a strike. The vote polled 98.1% of eligible members. The first strike is likely to hit Verdi’s Requiem on Thursday.

The orchestra management wants to cut chorus fees by 65%.

The only question is whether the choristers start their strike before the musicians vote on action of their own.
