Three performances of Verdi’s Requiem, the first orchestral series concert of the 2024-25 San Francisco Symphony season with Music Director Esa-Pekka Salonen, have been canceled due to a strike by the members the Chorus. The Symphony said that the three performances will not be rescheduled.
Since their collective bargaining agreement expired in July, Chorus union members have been negotiating unsuccessfully with Symphony management for higher wages and equitable cuts across the organization.
