The Musicians of the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra would like to join the efforts of the SOSMN (Save Our Symphony Minnesota) in a call to help the Milwaukee Symphony Orchestra raise the funds necessary for their continued operation. We would like to encourage those in our social media circles as well as all other orchestras across the country to join this effort to help save this great cultural gift in Milwaukee. Below is the call to action by the SOSMN.
"Although SOSMN’s focus has been on saving the world-class Minnesota Orchestra, today we ask you to consider helping the Milwaukee Symphony Orchestra (MSO).
The musicians, conductor Edo de Waart, and management of the Milwaukee Symphony Orchestra have supported our Minnesota musicians through the lockout---and now they need help in return. If the MSO is unable to raise 5 million dollars in the next month, they will have to close down entirely.
Right now a MSO Board member is providing a matching grant, so even small donations will make a difference. As you are making your end-of year charitable contributions to support great live classical music and the Musicians of the Minnesota Orchestra, we also ask you to please consider the Milwaukee Symphony Orchestra. Thank you."
