Melbourne Symphony Orchestra has deleted the names of its managers and directors from its website and closed its call centre to inbound calls as the crisis around its cancellation of a pianist for making statements about the Israel-Palestine conflict deepens.
An MSO spokeswoman would not confirm whether the shift of the call centre to email-only on Monday, and the removal of all online board and management biographies, was a result of abuse or threats following its dropping of Jayson Gillham from a planned concert last week.
