Management has refused to open its financial books so that a fair deal can be reached that will keep the orchestra competitive with its peers in Chicago and Los Angeles and remain a world class symphony. Instead management is rewarding themselves with six figure bonuses and seeking a contract that will not allow Musicians to keep up with the cost of living, which is why Musicians, such as David Herbert – who is joining the Chicago Symphony – are leaving. The San Francisco Symphony receives approximately $2.6 million in annual funding support from the public, yet management will not open the books and be transparent about how those funds are being used. On March 12, management stalled negotiations yet once again, and as a result the Musicians will make a major labor announcement today.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>SAN FRANCISCO SYMPHONY CONCERT SCHEDULED for 2:00 PM MARCH 14 CANCELLED DUE TO WORK STOPPAGE BY MUSICIANS\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>SAN FRANCISCO, March 13, 2013 – Due to a work stoppage by the musicians of the San Francisco Symphony (SFS), the concert scheduled for 2:00 p.m. on Thursday, March 14 has been cancelled and will not be rescheduled. Patrons can obtain up-to-the-minute information on concerts, ticket exchanges and customer service by calling the Symphony Box Office at (415) 864-6000 and on the Orchestra’s website at www.sfsymphony.org/press.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Musicians Union of San Francisco, Local 6, American Federation of Musicians, representing musicians of the San Francisco Symphony, have rejected proposals from the Orchestra administration for a new three-year contract that would have kept the musicians among the three highest paid orchestras in the country. The administration notified the musicians that a revised proposal would be presented Thursday, March 14 but the musicians decided to strike rather than continue negotiations overseen by a federal mediator.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The latest administration proposal offered a minimum base yearly salary of $141,700 in the first year, with multi-year increases to $144,560 by the end of the proposed contract. During the most recent four-year contract, the musicians’ base minimum pay increased by 17.3%, an average of 4.3% per year. In addition to the minimum base salary, other musician compensation such as radio payments, over-scale, and seniority raises the current annual average pay for SFS musicians to over $165,000.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The administration’s most recent offer also maintained all current benefit payment levels including 10 weeks paid vacation, a maximum pension of $74,000 annually upon retirement, paid sick leave, and a full coverage health plan with no monthly contribution for individual musicians.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We are disappointed that the musicians have chosen to strike and deeply regret any inconvenience to our patrons,” said Brent Assink, Executive Director of the San Francisco Symphony. “We will continue to work hard to develop a fair agreement that gives our talented musicians a contract that reflects our stature as one of the top orchestras in the country but also one that sets a prudent financial course for the future.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Providing affordable health care options for musicians remains a key goal. With the rising cost of health care, SFS administration proposed health care plan changes but still offered a health care plan option with no monthly contribution for individual musicians. The latest proposal also maintained a maximum $74,000 annual pension for retiring musicians, with a slight increase in retirement age to draw full pensions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the current economic environment, the San Francisco Symphony is facing the same challenges that other major American orchestras around the country are facing. For all four years of its most recent collective bargaining agreement with its musicians, operating expenses have outpaced operating income. While concert and related revenues have increased 2.4% compounded annually during the term of the four-year agreement, concert production expenses have increased 8.1% compounded annually. The Orchestra has incurred an operating deficit in each of those years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Many of America's top orchestras are facing similar challenges with increased concert production, pension, and health care costs currently outpacing revenue growth. We are developing a multi-year plan to achieve a balanced operating model, including identifying and growing new sources of revenue and at the same time reducing the growth rate of expenses,” said Assink.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As a non-profit organization, the Symphony provides transparency about its finances in fully audited and publicly available documents in accordance with the law. The administration responded to all of the union’s specific requests for information in a timely manner throughout the negotiations. Since September, this has included over 50 formal requests for which were delivered over 500 pages of documentation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Patrons with tickets to the March 14 concert may exchange them for an upcoming concert, may donate their tickets, or receive a refund.

Management has refused to open its financial books so that a fair deal can be reached that will keep the orchestra competitive with its peers in Chicago and Los Angeles and remain a world class symphony. Instead management is rewarding themselves with six figure bonuses and seeking a contract that will not allow Musicians to keep up with the cost of living, which is why Musicians, such as David Herbert – who is joining the Chicago Symphony – are leaving. The San Francisco Symphony receives approximately $2.6 million in annual funding support from the public, yet management will not open the books and be transparent about how those funds are being used. On March 12, management stalled negotiations yet once again, and as a result the Musicians will make a major labor announcement today.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>SAN FRANCISCO SYMPHONY CONCERT SCHEDULED for 2:00 PM MARCH 14 CANCELLED DUE TO WORK STOPPAGE BY MUSICIANS\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>SAN FRANCISCO, March 13, 2013 – Due to a work stoppage by the musicians of the San Francisco Symphony (SFS), the concert scheduled for 2:00 p.m. on Thursday, March 14 has been cancelled and will not be rescheduled. Patrons can obtain up-to-the-minute information on concerts, ticket exchanges and customer service by calling the Symphony Box Office at (415) 864-6000 and on the Orchestra’s website at www.sfsymphony.org/press.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Musicians Union of San Francisco, Local 6, American Federation of Musicians, representing musicians of the San Francisco Symphony, have rejected proposals from the Orchestra administration for a new three-year contract that would have kept the musicians among the three highest paid orchestras in the country. The administration notified the musicians that a revised proposal would be presented Thursday, March 14 but the musicians decided to strike rather than continue negotiations overseen by a federal mediator.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The latest administration proposal offered a minimum base yearly salary of $141,700 in the first year, with multi-year increases to $144,560 by the end of the proposed contract. During the most recent four-year contract, the musicians’ base minimum pay increased by 17.3%, an average of 4.3% per year. In addition to the minimum base salary, other musician compensation such as radio payments, over-scale, and seniority raises the current annual average pay for SFS musicians to over $165,000.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The administration’s most recent offer also maintained all current benefit payment levels including 10 weeks paid vacation, a maximum pension of $74,000 annually upon retirement, paid sick leave, and a full coverage health plan with no monthly contribution for individual musicians.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We are disappointed that the musicians have chosen to strike and deeply regret any inconvenience to our patrons,” said Brent Assink, Executive Director of the San Francisco Symphony. “We will continue to work hard to develop a fair agreement that gives our talented musicians a contract that reflects our stature as one of the top orchestras in the country but also one that sets a prudent financial course for the future.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Providing affordable health care options for musicians remains a key goal. With the rising cost of health care, SFS administration proposed health care plan changes but still offered a health care plan option with no monthly contribution for individual musicians. The latest proposal also maintained a maximum $74,000 annual pension for retiring musicians, with a slight increase in retirement age to draw full pensions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the current economic environment, the San Francisco Symphony is facing the same challenges that other major American orchestras around the country are facing. For all four years of its most recent collective bargaining agreement with its musicians, operating expenses have outpaced operating income. While concert and related revenues have increased 2.4% compounded annually during the term of the four-year agreement, concert production expenses have increased 8.1% compounded annually. The Orchestra has incurred an operating deficit in each of those years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Many of America's top orchestras are facing similar challenges with increased concert production, pension, and health care costs currently outpacing revenue growth. We are developing a multi-year plan to achieve a balanced operating model, including identifying and growing new sources of revenue and at the same time reducing the growth rate of expenses,” said Assink.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As a non-profit organization, the Symphony provides transparency about its finances in fully audited and publicly available documents in accordance with the law. The administration responded to all of the union’s specific requests for information in a timely manner throughout the negotiations. Since September, this has included over 50 formal requests for which were delivered over 500 pages of documentation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Management has refused to open its financial books so that a fair deal can be reached that will keep the orchestra competitive with its peers in Chicago and Los Angeles and remain a world class symphony. Instead management is rewarding themselves with six figure bonuses and seeking a contract that will not allow Musicians to keep up with the cost of living, which is why Musicians, such as David Herbert – who is joining the Chicago Symphony – are leaving. The San Francisco Symphony receives approximately $2.6 million in annual funding support from the public, yet management will not open the books and be transparent about how those funds are being used. On March 12, management stalled negotiations yet once again, and as a result the Musicians will make a major labor announcement today.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>SAN FRANCISCO SYMPHONY CONCERT SCHEDULED for 2:00 PM MARCH 14 CANCELLED DUE TO WORK STOPPAGE BY MUSICIANS\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>SAN FRANCISCO, March 13, 2013 – Due to a work stoppage by the musicians of the San Francisco Symphony (SFS), the concert scheduled for 2:00 p.m. on Thursday, March 14 has been cancelled and will not be rescheduled. Patrons can obtain up-to-the-minute information on concerts, ticket exchanges and customer service by calling the Symphony Box Office at (415) 864-6000 and on the Orchestra’s website at www.sfsymphony.org/press.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Musicians Union of San Francisco, Local 6, American Federation of Musicians, representing musicians of the San Francisco Symphony, have rejected proposals from the Orchestra administration for a new three-year contract that would have kept the musicians among the three highest paid orchestras in the country. The administration notified the musicians that a revised proposal would be presented Thursday, March 14 but the musicians decided to strike rather than continue negotiations overseen by a federal mediator.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The latest administration proposal offered a minimum base yearly salary of $141,700 in the first year, with multi-year increases to $144,560 by the end of the proposed contract. During the most recent four-year contract, the musicians’ base minimum pay increased by 17.3%, an average of 4.3% per year. In addition to the minimum base salary, other musician compensation such as radio payments, over-scale, and seniority raises the current annual average pay for SFS musicians to over $165,000.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The administration’s most recent offer also maintained all current benefit payment levels including 10 weeks paid vacation, a maximum pension of $74,000 annually upon retirement, paid sick leave, and a full coverage health plan with no monthly contribution for individual musicians.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We are disappointed that the musicians have chosen to strike and deeply regret any inconvenience to our patrons,” said Brent Assink, Executive Director of the San Francisco Symphony. “We will continue to work hard to develop a fair agreement that gives our talented musicians a contract that reflects our stature as one of the top orchestras in the country but also one that sets a prudent financial course for the future.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Providing affordable health care options for musicians remains a key goal. With the rising cost of health care, SFS administration proposed health care plan changes but still offered a health care plan option with no monthly contribution for individual musicians. The latest proposal also maintained a maximum $74,000 annual pension for retiring musicians, with a slight increase in retirement age to draw full pensions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the current economic environment, the San Francisco Symphony is facing the same challenges that other major American orchestras around the country are facing. For all four years of its most recent collective bargaining agreement with its musicians, operating expenses have outpaced operating income. While concert and related revenues have increased 2.4% compounded annually during the term of the four-year agreement, concert production expenses have increased 8.1% compounded annually. The Orchestra has incurred an operating deficit in each of those years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Many of America's top orchestras are facing similar challenges with increased concert production, pension, and health care costs currently outpacing revenue growth. We are developing a multi-year plan to achieve a balanced operating model, including identifying and growing new sources of revenue and at the same time reducing the growth rate of expenses,” said Assink.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As a non-profit organization, the Symphony provides transparency about its finances in fully audited and publicly available documents in accordance with the law. The administration responded to all of the union’s specific requests for information in a timely manner throughout the negotiations. Since September, this has included over 50 formal requests for which were delivered over 500 pages of documentation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Patrons with tickets to the March 14 concert may exchange them for an upcoming concert, may donate their tickets, or receive a refund.

Management has refused to open its financial books so that a fair deal can be reached that will keep the orchestra competitive with its peers in Chicago and Los Angeles and remain a world class symphony. Instead management is rewarding themselves with six figure bonuses and seeking a contract that will not allow Musicians to keep up with the cost of living, which is why Musicians, such as David Herbert – who is joining the Chicago Symphony – are leaving. The San Francisco Symphony receives approximately $2.6 million in annual funding support from the public, yet management will not open the books and be transparent about how those funds are being used. On March 12, management stalled negotiations yet once again, and as a result the Musicians will make a major labor announcement today.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>SAN FRANCISCO SYMPHONY CONCERT SCHEDULED for 2:00 PM MARCH 14 CANCELLED DUE TO WORK STOPPAGE BY MUSICIANS\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>SAN FRANCISCO, March 13, 2013 – Due to a work stoppage by the musicians of the San Francisco Symphony (SFS), the concert scheduled for 2:00 p.m. on Thursday, March 14 has been cancelled and will not be rescheduled. Patrons can obtain up-to-the-minute information on concerts, ticket exchanges and customer service by calling the Symphony Box Office at (415) 864-6000 and on the Orchestra’s website at www.sfsymphony.org/press.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Musicians Union of San Francisco, Local 6, American Federation of Musicians, representing musicians of the San Francisco Symphony, have rejected proposals from the Orchestra administration for a new three-year contract that would have kept the musicians among the three highest paid orchestras in the country. The administration notified the musicians that a revised proposal would be presented Thursday, March 14 but the musicians decided to strike rather than continue negotiations overseen by a federal mediator.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The latest administration proposal offered a minimum base yearly salary of $141,700 in the first year, with multi-year increases to $144,560 by the end of the proposed contract. During the most recent four-year contract, the musicians’ base minimum pay increased by 17.3%, an average of 4.3% per year. In addition to the minimum base salary, other musician compensation such as radio payments, over-scale, and seniority raises the current annual average pay for SFS musicians to over $165,000.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The administration’s most recent offer also maintained all current benefit payment levels including 10 weeks paid vacation, a maximum pension of $74,000 annually upon retirement, paid sick leave, and a full coverage health plan with no monthly contribution for individual musicians.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We are disappointed that the musicians have chosen to strike and deeply regret any inconvenience to our patrons,” said Brent Assink, Executive Director of the San Francisco Symphony. “We will continue to work hard to develop a fair agreement that gives our talented musicians a contract that reflects our stature as one of the top orchestras in the country but also one that sets a prudent financial course for the future.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Providing affordable health care options for musicians remains a key goal. With the rising cost of health care, SFS administration proposed health care plan changes but still offered a health care plan option with no monthly contribution for individual musicians. The latest proposal also maintained a maximum $74,000 annual pension for retiring musicians, with a slight increase in retirement age to draw full pensions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the current economic environment, the San Francisco Symphony is facing the same challenges that other major American orchestras around the country are facing. For all four years of its most recent collective bargaining agreement with its musicians, operating expenses have outpaced operating income. While concert and related revenues have increased 2.4% compounded annually during the term of the four-year agreement, concert production expenses have increased 8.1% compounded annually. The Orchestra has incurred an operating deficit in each of those years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Many of America's top orchestras are facing similar challenges with increased concert production, pension, and health care costs currently outpacing revenue growth. We are developing a multi-year plan to achieve a balanced operating model, including identifying and growing new sources of revenue and at the same time reducing the growth rate of expenses,” said Assink.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As a non-profit organization, the Symphony provides transparency about its finances in fully audited and publicly available documents in accordance with the law. The administration responded to all of the union’s specific requests for information in a timely manner throughout the negotiations. Since September, this has included over 50 formal requests for which were delivered over 500 pages of documentation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Many people are drawn to this.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We were sitting on the Embarcadero, just north of the Bay Bridge. Bells were sounding behind us in the clock tower of the Ferry Building. But Villareal was focused on the sweeping view to the south: the suspension span and the patterns forming in the lights that he had hung.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"For me it's all about discovery,\" he said. \"Figuring out what it can do. I don’t know in advance. There’s a lot of chance and randomness in my process, so I’m here to make discoveries.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In his lap Villareal held a remote desktop connected to a computer in the bridge's central anchorage. From his computer, he was orchestrating the lights, practicing for opening night.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"This is a program that we wrote,\" he said. \"It's called Particle Universe. And we can change their mass, the velocity, gravity. All these things we find in nature. As an artist, I use all these equations and rules as material, really just play with them. I'm just sitting here waiting for something exciting or compelling to happen. When it does I capture that moment, and that becomes part of the mix.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_90212\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\" style=\"max-width: 300px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2013/02/26/watch-video-light-sculpture-to-brighten-the-bay-bridge/bay-bridge-lights/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-90212\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2013/02/Bay-Bridge-Lights-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"Artist Leo Villareal controls the Bay Lights with his laptop.

Then a shadow moved across the lights from Treasure Island toward the city. And back again. Finally the lights rippled, as though reflecting the waves on the bay below.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"You would think you wouldn't be able to improvise with software,\" said Villareal. \"But I've found ways [involving] chance and working intuitively with software. You can spend more time with this than [with] a sign in Las Vegas or Time Square that does one thing for one minute and then repeats over and over again. The other thing that's important for viewers is that they don't feel anxiety that they missed something. At any point that you're ready to jump in, there it is.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I asked Villareal: now that he’s spent so much time with the Bay Bridge, the commuter workhorse of the Bay Area, what he makes of its personality. He struggled to answer.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"You don’t want to mess with it,\" he said. \"You know I feel a lot of respect for it. I want to add something and augment what's here. These are the icons of the Bay Area, the bridges. I think there's also an honesty and integrity to the piece. That's very similar to what the bridge is like. I've done a couple of cable walks and gone to the top of the bridge and was amazed at how efficient it all is.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Villareal is a regular at the annual Burning Man festival in Nevada, and he says he wants people to gather on the Embarcadero to see the lights the same way people gather around campfires out on the desert.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It seemed to be working that night as passersby gathered, pointing up to the bridge.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Said Amy Gallie, one of the onlookers:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It looks kind of like some kind of star constellation to me. It becomes ethereal, instead of something which is so prosaic that we're used to looking at.\"\u003c/p>\n\n",

Many people are drawn to this.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We were sitting on the Embarcadero, just north of the Bay Bridge. Bells were sounding behind us in the clock tower of the Ferry Building. But Villareal was focused on the sweeping view to the south: the suspension span and the patterns forming in the lights that he had hung.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"For me it's all about discovery,\" he said. \"Figuring out what it can do. I don’t know in advance. There’s a lot of chance and randomness in my process, so I’m here to make discoveries.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In his lap Villareal held a remote desktop connected to a computer in the bridge's central anchorage. From his computer, he was orchestrating the lights, practicing for opening night.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"This is a program that we wrote,\" he said. \"It's called Particle Universe. And we can change their mass, the velocity, gravity. All these things we find in nature. As an artist, I use all these equations and rules as material, really just play with them. I'm just sitting here waiting for something exciting or compelling to happen. When it does I capture that moment, and that becomes part of the mix.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_90212\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\" style=\"max-width: 300px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2013/02/26/watch-video-light-sculpture-to-brighten-the-bay-bridge/bay-bridge-lights/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-90212\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2013/02/Bay-Bridge-Lights-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"Artist Leo Villareal controls the Bay Lights with his laptop.

Then a shadow moved across the lights from Treasure Island toward the city. And back again. Finally the lights rippled, as though reflecting the waves on the bay below.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"You would think you wouldn't be able to improvise with software,\" said Villareal. \"But I've found ways [involving] chance and working intuitively with software. You can spend more time with this than [with] a sign in Las Vegas or Time Square that does one thing for one minute and then repeats over and over again. The other thing that's important for viewers is that they don't feel anxiety that they missed something. At any point that you're ready to jump in, there it is.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I asked Villareal: now that he’s spent so much time with the Bay Bridge, the commuter workhorse of the Bay Area, what he makes of its personality. He struggled to answer.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"You don’t want to mess with it,\" he said. \"You know I feel a lot of respect for it. I want to add something and augment what's here. These are the icons of the Bay Area, the bridges. I think there's also an honesty and integrity to the piece. That's very similar to what the bridge is like. I've done a couple of cable walks and gone to the top of the bridge and was amazed at how efficient it all is.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Villareal is a regular at the annual Burning Man festival in Nevada, and he says he wants people to gather on the Embarcadero to see the lights the same way people gather around campfires out on the desert.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It seemed to be working that night as passersby gathered, pointing up to the bridge.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Said Amy Gallie, one of the onlookers:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It looks kind of like some kind of star constellation to me. It becomes ethereal, instead of something which is so prosaic that we're used to looking at.\"\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",
