ASO Lockout Puts Season Opener in Jeopardy: Conversations with Both Sides

  With just over two weeks remaining before the start of the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra’s 2014-15 season, the musicians have been locked out by ASO management.  

The players’ contract expired at midnight on Sept. 7, 2014, and the two sides remain far apart.  WABE’s Denis O’Hayer spoke with ASO Players’ Association president Paul Murphy, and with Virginia Hepner, president and CEO of the Woodruff Arts Center, the ASO’s parent organization.
