Musicians from the Colorado Springs Philharmonic Orchestra took part in a âMarch to Save Our Orchestraâ on June 4. Carrying signs and playing Beethoven and Brahms on kazoos, the musicians marched up and down Tejon Street to raise awareness about their ongoing contract dispute with the Colorado Springs Philharmonic Orchestra (CSPO). While professional orchestras across the country moved to virtual performances due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the CSPO invoked a force majeure clause (circumstances beyond their control) in the collective bargaining agreement to furlough musicians in July 2020. The CSPO board of directors officially canceled the collective bargaining agreement in September 2020, again citing force majeure.
