Musicians of Players' Association wish to extend our deepest gratitude to the
communities of Sarasota, Bradenton and Port Charlotte, as well as to
music lovers around the nation and world who supported us during our
recent labor dispute with the Sarasota Orchestra. We are pleased to report that a new 2-year Collective Bargaining Agreement was ratified by our membership on December 4 and by the Sarasota Orchestra Board of Directors on December 10, 2009. This agreement will remain in effect until August, 2011 and will ensure that world class classical music will continue to be a major attraction and component of life in our community. This website will continue to be available as a source of information and to spotlight the activities of our members. Please visit frequently for updates on concerts and musical projects being coordinated by our musicians. Thank you for your interest and we hope to see you at a performance soon!
