Alsop has publicly been on the side lines but has shown support for the musicians at her last concerts by standing with them but not vocally. It's been said that she has contacted people behind the scenes in an effort to raise money but no details have been made public. She has not been interviewed to my knowledge to give her opinion. Someone told me she was asked to take a pay cut and refused, Management has not taken a pay cut either. Don't forget, they made a huge deal when she was hired, against the will of most of the orchestra, that she would be the first women of a "major" orchestra though at the time the Buffalo Philharmonc had a women conductor but they were not considered a "major" because the didn't have a 52 week season. So now Baltimore won't be either so where does that leave her and their bragging? She has been the conductor as the BSO has lost audience and financial support. Is she to blame, I don't know but as Truman said, "The buck stops here".
