Following many months of labor protests, the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra players have reached an agreement with management and ratified a new labor contract. The one-year contract provides summer compensation, and creates a committee that will allow musicians a greater voice in the symphony’s decision-making processes. The CEO of the BSO has noted that more fundraising will need to take place in order to fund the one-year contract.
