Restructuring Delaware Symphony to Play On in 2012-13

August 10, 2012, 10:43 am

Two months after announcing the suspension of its upcoming season, the financially distressed Delaware Symphony Orchestra now plans to move forward with a modified program amid a larger restructuring, writes The News Journal of Wilmington.

Symphony leaders unveiled plans this week for a scaled-back 2012-13 campaign, including a four-concert chamber series supported by the DuPont Co. starting in October and additional concerts beginning in January.

Earlier this month the organization hired a new general manager, former DuPont Theatre executive Diana Milburn, and named longtime donor Tatiana Copeland to chair its board, which has seen a rash of resignations since May.

The new leadership is considering a range of spending cuts and fundraising efforts to restore financial health to the symphony, which expects to run an $850,000 deficit fort the coming season and has drawn heavily on its investment fund to plug budget holes.
