mlok discovered 4 months ago- From the page: "Colin Miles, regional director of the Canadian Music Centre, said disbanding the orchestra downgrades CBC's role as a public broadcaster. "What they're interested in doing is downgrading CBC from a public broadcaster into a commercial broadcaster...to make it easier to complete with the private sector," Miles said. Jane Coop, a concert pianist with CBC Radio Orchestra, said Canadian music will be the big loser. The orchestra's mandate has always been to showcase Canadian composers, musicians and Canadian content. "We won't get that with other orchestras. They can't really do that with as much commitment and as much verve," she said."
