Emergency backup is called to enable London Chamber Orchestra event at Cadogan Hall to go ahead after protest over payment delays
When the conductor Christopher Warren-Green picked up his baton to begin a concert in London’s Cadogan Hall last Wednesday, it was not clear what would happen.
The earlier rehearsal with the London Chamber Orchestra (LCO) had not gone well. Half of the musicians walked out in protest at the way they had been treated over the past five months, during which time none of them had been paid.
