The Fort Wayne Philharmonic and its musicians have reached an agreement for summer performances and a full 2021-22 season.
The deal comes after contract negotiations stretching back to 2019, nine months of player furloughs and the suspension of dozens of concerts because of the pandemic.
The Philharmonic will perform its first concert in more than a year when it opens its annual Patriotic Pops shows June 25 at DeKalb Outdoor Theatre in Auburn. The pops shows, including a performance June 26 at Parkview Field, are part of seven weeks of summer work to be followed by 28 weeks of regular work, the orchestra announced Monday.
