I have "heard" something awful that I think the developer should address.. (I don't have a single fact, so if someone know something, would love to hear..)
I heard that the Villages Orchestra will not be at the Sharon.. What a waste. The sound system was amazing and sitting in the seats would have made listening to wonderful music a joy. Maybe that is not true.. I can hope.

The real reason is probably poor attendance. Other than Messiah, they had 25-50% of the seats empty this year. A sad fact of life for all orchestras is that their audiences are literally dying - the bulk of their season ticket holders (and patrons) are up in years. I doubt that they will be around very many more years.

And no, it isn't the seats or acoustics at Savannah Center. Plenty of other groups sell out including the various Villages Bands, Villages Symphony, and the Wisconsin Singers.

The success or failure of the Philharmonic is the responsibility of its board. Why does everyone want *The Developer* to shoulder responsibility for everything?

Good example of rumor and then the facts.
