Tulsa Philharmonic

Tulsa Philharmonic

The Tulsa Philharmonic was an American symphony orchestra located in Tulsa, OK. The orchestra was founded in 1948 and played for 53 seasons. The orchestra ceased to exist on September 12, 2002, citing "tenuous financial conditions and the negotiation of a new collective bargaining agreement with Local 94, American Federation of Musicians, the union representing the Philharmonic's musicians." [ [http://www.tulsaphilharmonic.org/ Tulsa Philharmonic ] ] The financial problems of the orchestra were partially a result of the collapse of Enron and Worldcom in 2001, as well as job cuts at Williams which took their toll on Tulsa, and made the Philharmonic unsustainable.

After several years and many hard battles the Tulsa Symphony Orchestra was formed in 2005. [ [http://www.tulsasymphony.org/mcalester_article.htm Tahlequah Daily Press ] ]
