New Year Bringing Movement (If Not Progress) In Twin Cities Orchestra Lockouts

“Representatives of management and locked-out musicians will meet face to face next week at the Minnesota Orchestra and the St. Paul Chamber Orchestra. In Minneapolis, these would be the first official talks since musicians were locked out Oct. 1 in a dispute over pay cuts and work rules. At the SPCO, musicians were locked out Oct. 21, but contract talks continued into early November.”
