Backing the Balearic Symphony Orchestra -- backing the arts

 This video was put together by the employees of the Balearic Symphony Orchestra to draw attention to potentially fatal budget cutbacks by Palma City Council (32%) and Majorcan Council (37%): only the Balearic Government's proposed 10% cutback would be feasible. Our heartfelt thanks to all the artists, major and minor, who generously offered us their support in the making of the video.

We enjoyed filming the ironic/comic scenes as much as we do making music, something we will continue to do, whatever - in spite of politics and economics!
