Hours after the $2.2 trillion economic relief package was signed Friday evening, allocating millions for the Kennedy Center, musicians who work there were informed they would no longer be paid.
‘The Covid-19 Advisory Committee was broadsided today during our conversation with [Kennedy Center President] Deborah Rutter,’ an email obtained by the Washington Free Beacon from the orchestra’s Covid-19 Advisory Committee reads.
