The Orchestra - founded in 1935 - is under threat because SSR is withdrawing a consistent part of its yearly funding, making it difficult for them to survive otherwise. It's always played an important and prestigious role in Ticino and elsewhere and we need all the culture we can get down here, too!!
So please sign the petition at: http://www.firmiamo.it/osi

Thank you and ciao from Lugano!

Hah! You are funding this with your Billag payments, so better think twice before signing.
