Not if you live in Amsterdam...

Is it such a great loss ?
An extract from the letter announcing this:
"The Brexit vote has already had an impact on our fundraising efforts.
The current orchestra has no UK
members, but EUBO's administration is entirely British. With the UK
outside the EU and free movement to
and from the UK in all likelihood ended, EUBO's operation will become
seriously compromised, to say
nothing of our likely future access to EU and other funds."
If their are no UK members of the orchestra it seems kind of silly for
it to be based here.
Based in Woodstock? Lots and lots of 'Baroque' musicians must live there.
