      <![CDATA[I too was disappointed by your article (labeled: **news** and opinion ) supporting Remmereit's dismissal. Like most statements supporting the Board's decision, no factual evidence is presented beyond vague words and apologies for not laying out the case ( we  I cannot tell you what we know because we do not want  embarrass anyone).

      <![CDATA[Since last week I've been ruminating over this mess...it does seem, in light of the D-C article today (assuming it gives a fair summary), that the earlier letter from Rice to the community was not at all the complete picture. It gave a misleading presentation of what the recommendations were by the labor law firm, and did not give any evidence that the board had inquired seriously  about the role played by Owens in the dysfunction that was their responsibility, first to understand clearly and then do something constructive about.

<br>
You ask, "What does NYC know that Rochester has yet to figure out?"<br>
<br>
The answer is that NYC knows that it has a  municipal population of over EIGHT MILLION  to draw from, as well as a Metropolitan Statistical Area population of  NINETEEN MILLION. <br>
<br>
On the other hand Rochester is still trying to figure ow how to make due with a city population that has shrunk from 296,000 in 1970 to 211,000 today, and an MSA of  just over 1,000,000, or about  75% of the population of just the Bronx.<br>
<br>
Next question?

      <![CDATA[Ms Tower,<br>
<br>
In your opinion you assert, “there were no reports of organization-wide problems prior to Remmereit's arrival.”  I don’t think this is neither an objective assessment of the situation nor a reflection of the mission of the search committee.<br>
<br>
The RPO audience is ageing and predominantly white. The audience is drawn from the suburbs and the programming has been in the past very Euro-centric.

<br>
You are much too smart and have covered Rochester too long to be bamboozled. Please check this link for a look at what is happening in the orchestra world - management is not benign, boards are hand-picked, and musicians with weak unions are railroaded.

      <![CDATA[There is, implicitly, the appearance of   a  significant  asymmetry in the Board's decision  to conduct a second survey of the orchestra about <br>
Remmereit, but make no (publicly known) effort to inquire about Owens'  own performance during the transition from Seaman through Remmereit.<br>
<br>
A high level of contention exists between the two, evidently. <br>
This  led to coaches being assigned to both (a fact not mentioned in Rice's public letter,  nor commented upon in Towler's oped), and continual reports of<br>
friction/dysfunction between them.
