“Twenty-seven full-time and part-time staff have left [the Australian] orchestra in just 21 months, an unusually high turnover rate for the company which currently lists 26 people on its staff. … Orchestra insiders claim that morale at the QSO is ‘toxic’ and an external consultant has been contracted to improve morale and company cohesiveness. Former staff describe scenes of ‘backstabbing, gossip and shouting matches’ among administrative staff and management.” At fault, allege current and former staffers, are music director Alondra de la Parra and CEO David Pratt.
