Musicians of the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra have been locked out by their management. Currently they are refusing to pay musicians’ salaries and their health insurance will soon be cut off.

The Local 1000 Executive Board has pledged to make an official donation to support the musicians of BSO, and we are asking our members to take action and contribute directly if possible.

We will be at FAI in Montreal. Read here for details about our Membership Meeting and Showcase Free Zone Schedule!
