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.


Currently none, but now there is no incentive or opportunity for British
musicians to take part. Just part of the creeping cultural destruction
that Brexit is imposing on us.
