Musicians of the National Symphony Orchestra agreed to return to talks and will perform the 7 June concert on Sunday, 11 June at 8 pm at the National Theater. The concert is a fund-raiser for the benefit of the National Symphony. It is sponsored by the Diplomatic Corps in the DR. The National Symphony Orchestra had boycotted the Wednesday concert requesting wage increases and bonuses, and more say in choice of programs and Symphony administrative matters. Guest performers in "Encounter of the Stars" are 22 year old Vilhelmas Cepinskis, a violinist from Lithuania and Yuki Takao, a Japanese pianist. The Consulate General of Lithuania in the DR and the Japan Foundation/Embassy of Japan are co-sponsors of the event. For more information, call 532-6600 or 535-8587.
