In April, 2007 I published a pair of articles about seven orchestras I felt were in right place at the right time to accomplish truly great things. Occupying the #1 spot on that list was the Las Vegas Philharmonic (LVP) and if you’ve been keeping up with music news this week, you may have noticed the article in the 12/23/08 edition of the Las Vegas Sun by Kristen Peterson which reported a public divergence of opinion among board officers. Nevertheless, the wonderful thing about potential is it tends to be quite resilient to issues rooted in particular types of conflict. The good news is the LVP still retains just as much potential as it did back in 2007 and recent events are merely a bump in the road.
