The management finally backed down and abandoned their destructive plan to gut the orchestra. You pushed hard enough that they had no choice but to listen and stop this disastrous restructuring. Stay sharp because we won't let them try this again.

Final supporters
1) The Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra offers a product of immeasurable importance to people of all ages, ethnicities, and demographics.
2) The severity of reductions proposed (see http://www.isomusicians.com/ for specific details) will greatly increase the risk of artistic deterioration of the Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra, should they be executed.
3) A good-faith effort should be made by ISO management to provide transparency to the community as to why attempts by the musicians to bring in a respected and established facilitator were rejected, and why, in general, such a severe course of action has been determined to be in the best interest of the orchestra and the city of Indianapolis.
4) It is understood that business models need always be objectively analyzed in today's economic climate. However, as currently proposed, the extreme restructuring of the Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra may be irreversibly detrimental to the artistic product of said orchestra, and, therefore, ultimately detrimental to the cultural and economic vitality of Indianapolis, ironically at a time that it has officially expressed desire to compete with larger cities in the United States as an appealing destination.

The Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra management thinks we will just watch while they gut our culture. We are pushing toward 5,000 signatures to prove them wrong so send this to everyone you know right now.

We just hit 100 signatures and the suits at the Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra need to understand that this is only the beginning. Their refusal to provide transparency while gutting our musical heritage is insulting and we are not going to be silent about it.

We love our symphony!!! Pls dont let this happen to them.
Indy needs the ISO! It is such a huge part of our culture here and cutting it would be a massive mistake for the city.
Keep the music alive. My family has been going to these concerts for years and we wont let it just fade away because of bad management.
So unfair to the musicians who work so hard. They deserve transparency at the very least.
total nonsense to cut funding like this. find another way to handle the budget without ruining the art.

The symphony is the heart of downtown. You cant just slash everything and expect the quality to stay the same. Very disappointed.
