MPR’s Nancy Fushan reports on a shake-up in The Saint Paul Chamber Orchestra's leadership. This includes James Halland's contract to be general manager not being renewed and Dennis Russell Davies leaving after the 1979-1980 season to conduct in Europe. Report includes phone interview with Davies.
Edward Taylor, the president of the Orchestra Association's Executive Board, blames the shake up on the lack of financial stability in the future. There is also a proposal to alter the management structure.
