The musicians of the San Francisco Symphony and its management have settled a strike and performances will resume on Tuesday, the orchestra said. The agreement, for a 26-month contract, ends a work stoppage called on March 13 that forced the cancellation of prestigious appearances at Carnegie Hall and the Kennedy Center.
As if to emphasize an orchestra’s broad reach in a community, the San Francisco Symphony described the concerts that can now go forward this week: free performances for schoolchildren, a Music for Families concert, a regular performance of Handel and Mozart works conducted by the maestro Bernard Labadie, a chamber music performance and a workshop for amateur musicians. The musicians and the orchestra’s board of governors must still ratify the agreement, which the Symphony called tentative. The terms were not released. The labor dispute centered on salaries.
