Save CBC Orchestra - All Petition Signatories

The petition is now closed. Thanks to all who took the time to sign the petition and post comments. Though the CBC Radio Orchestra's life was ended by CBC Radio, the orchestra has been reincarnated in a new form: the National Broadcast Orchestra of Canada - Orchestre national de diffusion du Canada.

Dear Mark Steinmetz and CBC Radio, Prime Minister Harper, Members of Parliament, and the Minister of Canadian Heritage. We the undersigned want the CBC Radio Orchestra saved. We believe that the orchestra is an integral part of Canada's mosaic and an important contributor to Canada's unique and rich cultural heritage. Our Canada includes the CBC Radio Orchestra!

This can hardly be a big expense in the great scheme of things.

I am a piano instructor at the UBC School of Music, and I think that disbanding the CBC Orchestra will cause an enormous damage to the life of classical music in Canada.

Please save the orchestra, it is one of the few things in this world that my mother , who suffers from Alzheimers enjoys.

It\'s a disgrace to even think disbanding the CBC Radio Orch.It is worth every dollar it costs to keep it alive.It is inconceiveable that a country as large as Canada cannot maintain a single National Orchestra.

Frances Vitols
The world needs all the music it can get.

There are already plenty of music stations that play pop and rock, but where else is good orchestral music available on the Canadian airwaves?

I am a teenage violin student of one CBC\'s orchestra violinist. Please consider the future generation of performers, conductors, and composers, as it is this generation that is going to lose the most.

I am 8 years old. My name is Isabelle. when I go to school I listen to the Orchestra! What will I listen to when I go to school? I Do not like Pop or Rock music! I wake with classical music and what will I wake up to if there is no Orchestra?

Please keep the classical music alive! The complexity of an orchestra never failed to struck awe in a child no matter how young or how old they are!

Manuela Ramsbottom
Children should be able to listen to classical music and cannot do this between 10-3 - they are in school!!! We should also not be denied the privilege of seeing the orchestra live.

Please keep the tradition alive. Give young musicians a platform for their talent.
