Conductor Keith Clark, the Troubled Pacific Symphony and Their Angry Fans

I read with sadness of the current problems within the Pacific Symphony. Obviously (executive director Louis G.) Spisto and (board president Michael N.) Gilano do not like Keith Clark. Spisto’s comments about Clark being “a bad conductor” suggest that in addition to having a lack of manners and a foul mouth, he has some sort of ax to grind. He and Mr. Gilano would do the Pacific Symphony and Orange County music lovers a favor by promptly resigning.
