Seventy National Symphony Orchestra (OSN) musicians have been protesting for several days asking for solutions of the problems affecting the group. According to Listin Diario, they are appearing for work at the usual times, but they are not playing or rehearsing. The musicians are demanding a pay rise and other benefits. OSN Acting Director Dante Cucurrullo said the situation yesterday was the same as when the protest started, and that the concert that is scheduled for tomorrow, Friday, would have to be canceled because the musicians are refusing to play unless an immediate solution is offered to them. The General Directorate of Fine Arts (DGBA) has said it is trying to help solve the conflict and admitted that there is a salary unbalance between symphony musicians. Last Tuesday, Fine Arts Director Bernarda Jorge and National Music Director Canex Peguero met with the musicians in an effort to solve the conflict.
