I. MERGER PRESENTS PROBLEM WITH ACCESS<\/p>\n
MEMBER COMMENT<\/p>\n
I have a question about the MICU (Musicians\u2019
\nInterguild Credit Union) merger with SAG-AFTRA
\nFCU \u2014 I was just informed that former MICU members
\nwill not have access to their transaction data
\nprior to the merger \u2014 that if you want info prior
\nto the end of last year, you have to contact them
\nto ask for info.<\/p>\n
This is contrary to what I was initially told \u2014
\nthat ALL records would transfer and we would
\nhave access from the time of opening the MICU
\naccount.<\/p>\n
[Colleagues, any thoughts?]<\/p>\n

SAN ANTONIO SYMPHONY<\/p>\n
[MEMBER COMMENT: An example on how

\nexample of how management let the orchestra fall
\nshort of pension payments to AFM if what has been
\npresented is factual.]<\/p>\n
San Antonio leaders throw support behind symphony
\nBy David Hendricks<\/p>\n
Mayor Ron Nirenberg and Bexar County Judge Nelson
\nWolff appeared Saturday night with the San Antonio
\nSymphony in a show of unity behind the beleaguered
\norchestra that is struggling to stay onstage.<\/p>\n
Nirenberg and Wolff spoke to a near-capacity audience
\nof almost 1,450 people at the Tobin Center for the
\nPerforming Arts before the symphony\u2019s performance
\nof its first Tricentennial program.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe believe in a world-class symphony for San Antonio.
\nWe believe in a long-term sustainable plan for the
\norchestra,\u201d Nirenberg told the audience.<\/p>\n
City leaders talk about how important the San Antonio
\nSymphony is to the city.<\/p>\n
\u201cI wish I could say the work is completed, but it\u2019s
\nnot,\u201d Nirenberg said in reference to this week\u2019s
\ndevelopments in which the Symphony Society of
\nSan Antonio first said the rest of the 2017-18
\nseason would be canceled then reversed the
\ndecision, under new Chairwoman Kathleen Vale,
\nin favor of a modified concert schedule that will
\nbe announced soon.<\/p>\n
Initially, symphony officials said $2.5 million
\nwould be needed to complete the entire season,
\nthen announced Wednesday it would be
\ncancelled altogether for lack of funds.<\/p>\n
After that announcement, Vale said, about $400,000
\nin donations was verbally pledged, allowing for the
\npresentation of at least some of the remaining concerts.
\nShe declined to name the donors.<\/p>\n
Also available to the symphony is part of the city\u2019s
\nallocation of more than $600,000 for the current season,
\nsaid bassoonist Brian Petkovich, the orchestra musicians
\nunion representative.<\/p>\n
About $300,000 already has been spent by the Symphonic
\nMusic for San Antonio nonprofit, Petkovich said. SMSA
\noperated the orchestra during the fall but last month pulled
\nout its deal to take over the orchestra\u2019s management,
\nciting a possible pension liability that was disputed by
\nthe musicians.<\/p>\n
The city still holds about $350,000 that would be available
\nto the orchestra for concerts this winter and spring. But
\nthe city \u201cwill want to see a plan from the symphony before
\nthey release the funds,\u201d Petkovich said. \u201cI\u2019m confident
\nwe\u2019ll develop something, and we\u2019ll have an orchestra on
\nthe stage,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n
Wolff told the audience that local leaders and symphony
\nsupporters will begin this summer, if not earlier, to \u201csit
\ndown and start planning a viable way to operate the
\nsymphony. We have a great orchestra. We want to
\nkeep that orchestra,\u201d Wolff said, before the musicians
\ntook the stage to perform a program focused on the
\nmusic from and about Spain in recognition of the city\u2019s
\nearly history.<\/p>\n
While a complete list of what concerts will be performed
\nhasn\u2019t been released, the Jan. 12, 13 and 14 classical
\nseries concerts featuring a program led by Ludwig van
\nBeethoven\u2019s Symphony No. 3, \u201cEroica,\u201d will be performed
\nat the Tobin Center, according to Friday\u2019s announcements
\nfrom symphony Music Director Sebastian Lang-Lessing.<\/p>\n
Contributions are coming in steadily to help keep the
\norchestra together and performing, Vale said.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s exploding. We\u2019re receiving contributions in spades.
\nWe have enquiries about where to contribute. Contributions
\ncan be made to the Symphony Society of San Antonio,\u201d
\nVale said.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis is a critical moment in the destiny of the symphony.
\nIt\u2019s our treasure. We appreciate the outpouring of support.
\nWe need financial support and everyone\u2019s attendance at
\nconcerts. This organization belongs to the city of San
\nAntonio and the area. It will take the whole city and the
\narea to support the symphony,\u201d Vale said.<\/p>\n
Holders of presold season and ticket holders can seek
\nrefunds if some concerts aren\u2019t included in the modified
\nseason to be announced soon, said Vale and violinist
\nCraig Sorgi, negotiating chairman of the Musicians of
\nthe San Antonio Symphony.<\/p>\n
\u201cOur message to ticketholders is do not go and refund
\ntickets,\u201d Sorgi said. \u201cYou\u2019ll need them. If there is a concert
\nor two that is not performed, refunds can be made, but I
\nbelieve it would be better to hang on to them. I believe
\nyou\u2019re going to use them.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cTicketholders can seek refunds or they may donate
\nunused tickets (by not seeking refunds), which would
\nbe gratefully received,\u201d Vale said.<\/p>\n
