A Loyal Subscriber Fights to Save Boston's Symphony Hall
A loyal Boston Symphony Orchestra subscriber writes to a local paper amid the Nelsons leadership fallout, expressing that nothing can go wrong in Symphony Hall—until the board’s actions prompt them to vow they won’t stop attending. The letter denounces trustees Hostetter and Smith as scapegoats, admits a momentary urge to look at other cities, but ultimately resolves to stay and defend the conductor and musicians, reflecting a public mood of disenfranchised fans fighting for the orchestra’s future.
