Folks, if you wanted the NSO to survive so you could attend their concerts, perhaps you could have reached into your considerably deep pockets and donated money to this organization that you claim to care so much about.  [b]Whining about how taxpayers are not funding your evenings out at the symphony is pathetic.[/b][/quote]

Whining about how taxpayers are not funding the symphony concerts you didn't go to - is more accurate.[/quote]

I do feel badly for the people who actually regularly attended performances, but who lacked the financial means to make substantial donations.  And the kids who enjoyed the field trips and whatever other musical education the NPO provided.  But people bitching about losing a cultural resource they themselves rarely or never used (meaning they were not interested in its work, or were unwilling to pay for it)?  Nah.

Here's the WaPo article, BTW, written by the paper's classical music critic.
