Symphony NB Requests 3-Year Funding Model

Four concerts a year isn't a season--that's the complaints from music lovers at Symphony New Brunswick. General Manager Caroline Condon wants common council to commit to a 3-year funding model at a $5000 level.

Condon says the Symphony has proven its adeptness at managing its funds, with 3 debt-free years under its belt. She also emphasizes that it's a local enterprise that recycles a good portion of its annual budget right back into the community.

A $15,000 dollar commitment is on the low side compared with other similarly-sized orchestras in the country.
