The State - News from Nov. 17, 1985

The Oakland Symphony, silenced for the last five weeks by a musicians’ strike, has canceled its 1985-86 season. The 86-member orchestra went on strike for more money and scheduling concessions Oct. 3, five days before the seven-month season was to begin. Symphony spokesman Herbert Scholder said the board of directors had previously voted to cancel the season if an agreement was not reached with the musicians by Nov. 15.
