For the first time in more than a half-century, the Columbus Symphony will fail to open its classical season in the fall.

With contract talks with musicians going nowhere, Columbus Symphony management said yesterday that the 2008-09 classical concert season won’t begin as usual in October, and that at least 10 performances through early December have been canceled.

“The Columbus Symphony Orchestra announces with regret that it is canceling all concerts previously scheduled for October and November,” the symphony said in a statement.

    It is a shame that Columbus could lose its symphony. A city of this size does need a symphony. While we can never replace the symphony, ProMusica would gladly provide Columbus with the classical music while the symphony works things out and comes back stronger than ever.
