German orchestra holds first strike in 265 years

Sahil Nagpal 29 November 2008

Leipzig, Germany - One of Germany's leading classical orchestras walked out on its first strike in its 265-year-history Friday, with musicians of the Gewandhaus Orchestra in Leipzig demanding better pay.

A concert in the Gewandhaus theatre and a performance of the ballet Swan Lake were both cancelled Friday as a result. The musicians said they were also protesting at the closure of other state-funded orchestras. (dpa)
