CBC Offers To Help Orchestra Transition
The Canadian Broadcasting Corporation, which drew fire for its decision to stop funding the CBC Radio Orchestra, says that it has offered to help the ensemble in its quest to become a standalone orchestra. "The CBC has offered to give the rebranded orchestra three broadcasts next year and to commission more new works... [The orchestra] would also be able to use the CBC's facilities in Vancouver for rehearsals and its library of sheet music." The Globe & Mail (Canada) 11/19/08
