The Music Director of the Sodre Symphony Orchestra (Uruguay), Martin Garcia, 41, resigned this Tuesday over serious discrepancies with the government authorities regarding the direction of the orchestra and its place in the musical life of the Uruguayan city Sodre. In a letter to the Board, Garcia said: « I found myself in the middle of a broken theatre in which the interests of some are opposed to those of others ». He criticizes that it was very difficult to respect the « calendar that was made almost a year ago » and he was stunned about the « helplessness to solve technical, organizational and functional problems ».
