 HSO
gets $1.175M gift
The Honolulu Symphony's dire financial picture cleared considerably with
a $1.175 million donation in the past week from one generous fan. With
the gift, the symphony was able to make up most of the pay musicians and
staffers had forgone in recent months as the orchestra struggled with
higher expenses and lower ticket sales. The symphony paid the equivalent
of seven weeks of back wages, said Kristin Jackson, a symphony
spokeswoman.

Muti's sticky notes
"In case you haven't realized all of your artistic dreams, there
is a musical Ferrari waiting for you in Chicago. All you have to do is
come and get it." That was the note Chicago Symphony Orchestra
trombonist Jay Friedman wrote to Riccardo Muti, urging him to consider
accepting the music director post. "The
orchestra seemed to be pretty unanimous about him," Friedman continued.
"I've been with the symphony since 1962 and, believe me, that hardly
ever happens." After a four-year search, the Chicago Symphony Orchestra
did indeed name Muti its 10th music director, and there doesn't seem to
be a naysayer in the hall. "Eighty-five members of the orchestra wrote
him notes," said oboist Michael Henoch.

Resurrection?
Whether eleventh-hour initiatives will make a difference for the
Columbus Symphony remains to be
seen, given the multimillion-dollar deficit predicted for the 2008-09
season, which has been canceled. Still, with the symphony's fate growing
more uncertain, patrons, musicians and others have hosted or plan to
host concerts and events to help the orchestra. The informal gatherings
are in addition to ongoing actions by board members and symphony
managers to raise money and public interest.
