I’ll be appearing today on WNYC’s Soundcheck with John Schaefer at approximately 2:45p.m. ET today to talk about the New Jersey Symphony Orchestra’s recent decision to sell their collection of rare string instruments…
No doubt, this will be a fascinating discussion and I hope we can fit it all into 20 minutes. If you are in the New York City area, turn your radio dial to FM93.9 or AM820 and even if you don’t live in New York City, you can still listen to the live program online at WNYC’s website. In case that isn’t enough, you can even listen to the segment directly via the program’s embedded audio player below:
As for further discussion about the NJSO’s decision to sell their collection of rare string instruments, the New Jersey Star-Ledger published an article yesterday by Mark Mueller which examines some of the more dynamic aspects of this situation. Mark does an excellent job at providing a good overview of the events surrounding the decision to purchase the instruments right up to the organization’s decision to sell the collection.
