Detroit Symphony Musicians Will Put on Holiday Shows

The Detroit Symphony Orchestra musicians, on strike for weeks now, are putting on their own holiday concerts, starting this weekend:

This isn't the musicians' first foray into concert production; back in September, after their contract was up but before the went on strike, they performed two concerts.

 If I were the musicians, who seem to be both unified and highly motivated to do things their own way, I would start thinking about how they can abandon the orchestra as a corporation and form a new group in Motor City. Stop picketing, and start doing more playing.
