To the Musicians of the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra,
The Buffalo Philharmonic Musicians are appalled by the manner in which the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra and Woodruff Arts Center have chosen to conduct themselves in your most recent contract negotiation, ultimately resorting to the barbaric tactic of a lock-out. The demands being sought by the ASO and WAC upon the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra Musicians are incomprehensible, and a direct assault on the Art form of which the ASO and WAC are supposedly stewards.
The Atlanta Symphony has been a leading American orchestra for decades, and a cultural treasure of the City of Atlanta, State of Georgia, the Southeastern United States, and the country as a whole. The leadership steering this organization towards destruction has lost touch with the ideals of which they have been entrusted, and has forsaken the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra family and the community of Atlanta as a whole.
We, the Buffalo Philharmonic Musicians, stand by the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra Musicians in this time of strife, support your cause, and encourage you to stay strong throughout this ordeal. Your artistic excellence and commitment to your Art and community encourage us all.
