The New York Times review of the new Broadway musical by John Kander and Fredd Ebb (additional lyrics Lyn-Manuel Miranda) 'New York, New York' is a travesty in our view. But this CBS Sunday Mornings segment tells the real story:

Another excoriating article on the travesty that is the proposed cuts to the BBC Singers and reductions in personnel to several of the BBC Orchestras. Intolerable in all respects and an attack on all Classical Music ensembles the world over by association and trickle down effect.

We’re on hiatus right now of course at the ADO but our principal conductor has urged me to post this on our FB page. We don’t usually use this platform for this type of communication but this article is so in-tune with the ethos of the ADO that Kevin believes it is worth sharing. Planning, too, for the 2023 season is well underway - and some new discoveries to share!
