The results, or non-results, of talks between players and management of the Philadelphia Orchestra will be presented to musicians Saturday night in a meeting at the Kimmel Center. They might hear merely a status report as negotiations continue; the old contract expires Monday the 17th at 12:01 a.m.
Or a contract proposal could be brought to players Saturday night, in which case musicians would vote on the deal Monday night - technically past the deadline.
The orchestra's website still indicates the hope of opening night going ahead Thursday with Christoph Eschenbach returning to start his last season as music director, leading The Rite of Spring and Tchaikovsky's Symphony No. 1.
(Score: George Crumb's Makrokosmos I)
