Off Topic -- Musicians on Strike



Dear F Minors,
 
Considering Glenn Gould's opinions on concerts, this topic may not belong on this list.
 
The Edmonton Symphony is on strike.  The issues are more about artist management than money.

There is more at stake here than the life of one Symphony.   Music education is taking a back seat in Canada.  It is fine to say that parents who want musical education for their children should pay for it.  I agree that at advanced levels this is a good thing.  However, children are going through our school systems without learning to appreciate music.  If we want Classical music to survive we need to support people like the members of the Edmonton Symphony.
