AS a member of the Qatar Philharmonic Orchestra, (butterworth, with all this insider information, surely you would know that we are called the QPO and not QSO...?)I would like to inform you and reassure those of our supporters that we are not on strike. The cancellation of the "open Rehearsal" this week was due to an artistic decision by the management and had absolutely nothing to do with nonpayment of salaries.
Yes, there are some issues that we are trying to sort out but lets not make the situation out to be more dire than it is. I for one, am very sure that we will be able to work these things out without resorting to court or even going on strike. Butterworth, I am interested too to hear where you got this information? By spreading these rumours, I believe you are doing more harm than good. We, the orchestra are very determined to make this project work and are very happy to see the amount of support we have at our concerts.
On that note, we would love to see you all next Thursday (4 dec) in the Aspire building for our open rehearsal with music from Schubert, Beethoven and Haydn. Please spread the word!
