Restore Music to Fort Wayne Rally Draws Crowd, Diverse Speakers

ELLA ABBOTT / WBOI Fort Wayne Philharmonic Musicians held a rally with supporters to ‘restore the music’ on the Allen County Courthouse Green on Saturday, another protest of management’s treatment of musicians over the past year.   Several speakers from both around the community and the country came to show support for the musicians, decrying management’s use of the pandemic to furlough musicians.   Ray Hair is the International President of the American Federation of Musicians. He pointed to orchestras in Columbus, Ohio and Chicago where management worked with musicians to keep working during the pandemic.   “The majority of American symphonic institutions saw their obligations to their communities to sustain their orchestras and continue to care for musicians while the pandemic raged and ravaged all of our lives,” Hair said.
