Now five months old, the Philadelphia Orchestra Association's bankruptcy case has come to a critical fork in the road. Wednesday's hearing before Judge Eric L. Frank was a subdued affair, with only a few lawyers present and no orchestra players or staff, but it was important for laying out two possible imminent paths - a quick resolution or a long, acrimonious battle that could stretch on for some time and have tragic consequences for the orchestra. The more hopeful possibility first. Musicians and management continue to meet for mediation with Stephen Raslavich, chief judge of U.S. Bankruptcy Court, Eastern District of Pennsylvania, in an effort to strike a deal on a new labor contract (which would include an agreement for how musicians' pensions will now be structured - whether under the existing arrangement or a new one). "I believe mediation is actually making some progress," Anne M. Aaronson, an association bankruptcy lawyer, told Frank. That could mean a relatively quick exit from bankruptcy, assuming the association and the Kimmel Center agree on a new lease arrangement or relationship, or decide to handle those talks apart from the bankruptcy process. In that case, the orchestra would open its Verizon Hall season next month with the bankruptcy cloud largely lifted. A more unpleasant - and potentially disastrous - scenario promises to unfold if mediation fails to produce a truce between musicians and management. If that happens, it's fair to expect the American Federation of Musicians and Employers' Pension Fund to come out swinging. Fund lawyer Herman L. "Hank" Goldsmith told the court that some of the tens of thousands of e-mails culled from the association's computer servers and other documents supported the fund's assertion that some of the money in the association's endowment does not, for one reason or another, belong there and is therefore available to creditors. "Millions appear to be in endowment," Goldsmith said, "and shouldn't be." He also said money coming in designated as restricted was "getting swept back and forth into a global investment account and commingling with unrestricted, which makes it impossible to trace the flow." 作者: KnightBM 时间: 2012-1-28 23:06
