The D.C. Philharmonic Postpones Tonight's Inaugural Concert, by Anne Midgette
Some 36 hours before they were supposed to open at Strathmore,the fledgling D.C. Philharmonic pulls the plug.
Edited to add: More on the DC Philharmonic: One musician who was contracted to play with the orchestra has posted a long statement about his experience in the comments section of the original article that is well worth reading for anyone interested in this situation.

Um, now that I read that comment, I'm somewhat less interested in attending any future D.C. Philharmonic concerts.

The D.C. Philharmonic seemed an audacious endeavor in the present economic climate, to say the least. I hope they manage to get it going. I will attend the first concert they give that does not feature the Mahler Second, which bores me to tears.
