Complex factors led to orchestra's demise -- themorningcall.com: "Now that the dust has begun to settle on the closing of the Lehigh Valley Chamber Orchestra, perhaps some public comment is appropriate on the causes of its demise. But, the Sept. 10 op-ed column by Andrea Wittchen, former board member and principal harpist of the LVCO, unfairly suggests that issues of governance were the sole cause of the LVCO's demise, thereby discrediting years of tireless efforts and financial sacrifice by dedicated board members, who supported the LVCO for more than 25 years. Laying blame at the doorstep of the board appears to be a convenient scapegoat for the expression of Ms. Wittchen's bitterness, as an LVCO musician, over her loss of a cherished organization."
