In a press release, Players Committee Chair, Stephen Burian acknowledges "the collaborative spirit of Orchestra Management and the board, through the negotiation process as we continue to tackle the issues of providing great musical performances."
Local 67 of the American Federation of Musicians has been dissolved, and QCSO members now belong to Local 137, based in Cedar Rapids.
The 108th season begins on August 20th with the annual Riverfront Pops event.
