In the wake of the Florida Philharmonic’s bankruptcy and the demise of Miami’s lone classical radio station, many observers have been wondering aloud whether South Florida really just doesn’t have any use for the form. Now, more evidence for the affirmative: the Palm Beach Chamber Music Society is slashing its current season by a third, and may close up shop completely before fall 2005. Poor ticket sales and sluggish donations are cited as the major reasons for the society’s problems. A lack of local product may also be a factor – the internationally known Miami String Quartet decamped for Ohio last year, and many local performers have left town with the Philharmonic’s shutdown.
