Collaboration and COLLUSION in Miami
| By Pete Vriesenga
The 6th Season of the Cleveland Orchestra Miami Residency began on January 27, casting a dark shadow on memories of the former Florida Philharmonic Orchestra. The FPO's final concert was played on May 9, 2003 following an apparent ploy by the orchestra's board chair Daniel Lewis that was obviously designed to fail. Lewis claimed that the orchestra could face bankruptcy by early May if the public failed to raise $20 million, which naturally never happened. Daniel Lewis is now the Cleveland Orchestra Miami Board Chairman, and yet he still files the annual, corporate reports to keep the Florida Philharmonic name alive ... and out of business.
In the years following the FPO bankruptcy, Daniel Lewis' nefarious business dealings became even more evident. Collusion between Cleveland Orchestra Miami, the Miami City Ballet and the Knight Foundation has been so open and deliberate that Dan Lewis doesn't even bother to cover his own tracks ... or lies. A December 10, 2008 story in the Associated Press reported that the Miami Ballet was forced to "forgo a live orchestra and will perform to recorded music for the second half of its 2008-09 season to save money. Blaming the economy, ballet officials said Tuesday that they cut the orchestra because of declining ticket sales and donor contributions. Live music for a full season would cost $480,000, but only $188,280 had been raised so far. Musicians will play during ballet performances through January"
I expect the Ballet had some explaining to do when readers from Cleveland to Miami then pointed to the Knight Foundation's press release just ten day before, announcing a $250,000 award to Miami City Ballet. The award was given to "To support an artistic collaboration between the Cleveland Orchestra and the Miami City Ballet." Daniel Lewis and Mike Eidson were listed as applicants for the award. Mike Eidson is a former president and chairman of the Miami City Ballet.
These examples of deliberate intent are easily traced back long before Miami City Ballet's false claims of poverty in December. In June of 2008, the Cleveland Orchestra announced: "Beginning in 2009, The Cleveland Orchestra will begin a multi-year artistic collaboration with the Miami City Ballet under the direction of Franz Welser-Möst and Miami City Ballet Artistic Director Edward Villella." It's too bad that neither the Miami musicians or Miami City Ballet contributors had access to Maestro Welser-Möst's crystal ball. They would have at least had a fair chance to put up some resistance.
And it only gets worse. At the very time that local musicians were handed their walking papers, the Knight Foundation was moving quickly to provide comfortable digs for Cleveland Orchestra managers. A January 8, 2009 press release from the Knight Foundation reveals a $130,000 award to "provide office space in Miami for the Cleveland Orchestra from 2009 up to 2012." In just a few short weeks, the Cleveland Orchestra Miami relocated to the 33rd floor of the Wachovia Financial Center in Miami. Now, Dan Lewis need only walk down the hall to pick up his checks from the Knight Foundation ... also located on the 33rd floor of the Wachovia Financial Center.
How convenient.

Q&A with CEO Sobczak on rebuilding Colorado Symphony
|
 | | Gene Sobczak, the new president and CEO of the Colorado Symphony Orchestra. |
Denver Business Journal
by L. Wayne Hicks, Managing Editor
February 2, 2012
Gene Sobczak, the new president and CEO of the Colorado Symphony Orchestra, has a busy agenda as he works to rebuild the struggling institution.
He's heading to New York next week with Jerome Kern, co-chair of the CSO board, to meet with who he calls a "primary candidate of interest" for the vacant position of music director.
Sobczak's also preparing to announce the CSO schedule for next season. The current concert season was thrown into disarray as the CSO struggled to reduce costs and saw the mass departure of 20 board members and its former CEO, James Palermo.

The not-so-merry orchestra

Unions target Kentucky Opera for hiring replacement musicians, threaten to discourage donations to Fund for the Arts
By Joe Sonka
Leo Weekly
February 15, 2012
The Kentucky Opera is set to put on a performance of "The Merry Widow" at the Brown Theatre Friday night, but members of the Louisville Orchestra are anything but merry. After nine months of failed contract negotiations between the musicians' union and the Louisville Orchestra, the Kentucky Opera chose to use around 35 replacement musicians to supplement this weekend's performance. Friday is also the deadline orchestra management set for the union to agree to their binding arbitration offer. If there is no agreement, they will go forward in looking to hire replacements for future performances. These actions led to a rally of nearly 70 people in front of the Brown Theatre on Monday morning, with leaders from many local unions pledging solidarity with the musicians. Along with decrying the tactics of the orchestra and opera management, the union leaders stated their intentions to put their money where their mouths are: If progress is not made quickly on a resolution, they will tell their thousands of members to cease contributing money to the Fund for the Arts, which provides a large amount of funding for both organizations.

Kentucky Opera Maestro Steps Down Amid Orchestra Disputes
|
by Devin Katayama WFPL News February 13, 2012
Kentucky Opera conductor Joe Mechavich is stepping down amid the controversial decision to seat non-union musicians for the upcoming opera performance of The Merry Widow.
"Given these circumstances, I am unable to continue my role as conductor for this production," wrote Mechavich in an email to the Kentucky Opera board and opera patrons.
Contract negotiations between the Louisville Orchestra and musicians have stalled since last year and performances have ceased. Last week the Louisville Orchestra extended a final offer to musicians, saying it would enter into binding arbitration with musicians or replace the orchestra with non-union members. The musicians have not yet announced whether they would take the deal.

Classic Corporate Greed
| A classic tale of corporate greed is unfolding in Ohio, and we need your help to put a stop to it.
In 2008, when Cooper Tire & Rubber Company was losing money, workers at its Findlay, Ohio, plant gave up $31 million in pay and benefits to help the company stay afloat.
Thanks to the workers' sacrifices and productivity, Cooper has made more than $300 million in profits since 2009. Cooper paid its executives millions of dollars in bonuses and bought a new corporate jet. What did its employees get? Locked out on Thanksgiving weekend.
Despite soaring profits, Cooper pushed a new contract on its employees with higher healthcare premiums and undisclosed wage terms. Do you think CEOs would accept a contract if they didn't know if they were getting a raise or a pay cut? Not a chance.
Still, Cooper's employees were more than willing to keep working through negotiations to reach a fair deal after their contract expired last fall. But Cooper refused to budge - leaving 1,050 workers out in the cold since November 28.
The workers in Findlay, Ohio, are counting on you! Email Cooper Tire NOW! Go to:
http://act.aflcio.org/c/18/p/dia/action3/common/public/?action_KEY=3641
Cooper can easily afford to set things straight and still turn a profit. Cooper CEO Roy Armes received $4.7 million in compensation in 2010.3 And the company has purchased a plant in Serbia for $17.3 million!(4)
Cooper wants to cry broke, but greed - not need - is driving this lockout. As Chico Ramirez, who's logged 25 years with the company, explains, "The thing that bothers us is that we gave them concessions to help them get back on their feet, and they are paying out bonuses instead of paying back the backbone of the company."
Around the country, people are fighting back against corporate greed and standing up for the 99%. Will you stand up and fight for Cooper's workers too?
Tell Cooper Tire that its bullying and greed must end now. [ http://act.aflcio.org/c/18/p/dia/action3/common/public/?action_KEY=3641 ]
Thanks for all that you do for workers everywhere.
In solidarity,

Take Action to Stop Lay-offs at AT&T!
| While workers at Verizon and Verizon Wireless have been fighting for dignity and respect since last summer, workers at AT&T are facing attacks of their own. In the last month, the company has targeted over 740 union workers, primarily in the southern region of the country, to lay-off despite reporting record profits this quarter. In 2011, their revenues soared to $126.7 billion, and the CEO-Randall Stephenson made over $27 million in 2011.

Quiet Song for Band- Grade 1/2, by Debbie Davidson.
A great song for the first band concert of the year! It uses the first five notes typically used in band method books, and is inspired by "Bolero." A quiet tune begins with the flutes and then gradually all of the instruments are added for a big climax before it tapers back down to the flutes. Sure to be a crowd-pleaser!

Available mail order through www.creeksidepublishingcompany.com or through Flesher-Hinton.
Finale to Beethoven Symphony No. 9- Grade 2+ for full orchestra and SAB chorus, Debbie Davidson.
Arranged to make this amazing classic accessible for middle school students. Key signatures and changes are simplified. Vocal parts are all doubled, and the Baritone part is optional. An advanced part is included for extra support - when this piece was premiered at Cherry Creek Academy, a teacher played this advanced part on the cello and an advanced piano student played it on piano. Most of the second parts (i.e. second clarinet, second flute, second violin) can be handled by students in their second year of instruction. The Cherry Creek Academy performance involved singers, grades 5 - 8, band members, grades 6 - 8, and orchestra members, grades 6-8.
