Jerry Lara / San Antonio Express-NewsThe San Antonio Symphony has world-class musicians, for now. But if management can’t or won’t fund anything more than a part-time, minimum-wage half orchestra, maybe they should just dissolve the organization and free the musicians to go somewhere their talents are appreciated.Re: “Time for symphony musicians to face reality,” Another View, Saturday:
I was heartened to read Eddie Aldrete’s sensible urging of the symphony musicians to come to the table for negotiations. In everyone’s lives, taking a “position” and refusing to budge usually does not work well. The crazy thing is that both sides want the same thing — a flourishing symphony. As Aldrete emphasized, the symphony board has donated $1.5 million over the past three years to support the musicians’ salaries. Why would musicians position themselves against these well-meaning supporters? It doesn’t make sense.
Yes, “lean in,” as Aldrete admonishes. This stalemate is not serving anyone. If management has made about a dozen offers, doesn’t it make sense for the musicians to take a few steps forward as well? We will all be the beneficiaries.Since Gov. Greg Abbott finds it so easy to uproot these young men, who are trying to establish themselves in their communities, separating them from their families to deploy and face danger along the U.S.
If nothing else, assist their families with the expenses involved in getting them to their final resting place.
