The Palm Beach Symphony hopes to hire The Juilliard School students and recent graduates next year to perform concerts and conduct schools programs.
Three residencies, each lasting a week or two, are planned, said Michael Finn, the symphony’s executive director. Finn’s background includes 20 years as associate dean and director of performance activities at the prestigious performing arts conservatory in New York.
During their stays, the Juilliard musicians would work in public and private schools, play recitals and cabaret concerts at venues such as the Norton Museum of Art and The Breakers, and join the orchestra as soloists, Finn said. Two classical and one jazz ensemble are being discussed.
Court of Appeals Rules in AFM's Favor in Cleveland Orchestra's Musical Arts Association v. NLRB
(New York) The United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit has today affirmed a July 2011 National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) decision finding that the American Federation of Musicians and AFM Local 4 (Cleveland, OH)-parent and local-are joint collective bargaining representatives for the Cleveland Orchestra, and that the Musical Arts Association (MAA), which operates the Cleveland Orchestra violated Federal Labor law by refusing to bargain with the AFM over media issues. The Court rejected MAA’s contention that two or more unions may not serve as joint collective-bargaining representatives for a single unit of employees, stating that those representatives can divide-either expressly or in practice-their bargaining duties in order to accommodate local and national interests.
