BBC NEWS | UK | Northern Ireland | Downturn costing orchestra brass

BBC NEWS | UK | Northern Ireland | Downturn costing orchestra brass: "Chief Executive David Byers said a collapse in corporate sponsorship has hit the orchestra's coffers.

'Sadly the reality check is very much now upon us, in that we are not immune to the credit crunch,' he said.

Mr Byers said his team of 63 musicians, plus support staff, brought classical music to a huge number of venues, reaching children in deprived areas and widening their repertoire to include popular concerts."
