More Info at:

The Orchestra della Svizzera italiana (OSI) started its activity 75 years ago in Ticino, and represents the cultural musical insitution of the region. OSI is at the moment funded in equal parts from the Canton Ticino and from the Swiss Society for Radio and television (SSR). On June 23rd SSR announced the end of the contrat with the Foundation for the Orchestra (FOSI) for the 01.01.2013 as part of a savings package which the SSR is confronted with. The cut amounts to 2.5 million francs on a total budget of 7 (3.5 from the Canton Ticino and 3.5 from the SSR). It is important to note that the cut to OSI represents the sole cut to culture in this savings package. Without these funds, the Orchestra is destined to stop its activity. We ask to SSR with the signatures of this petition to withdraw from this decision that goes against the culture of the Canton and that put in danger one of the best Orchestras in the country.

- How can you lose an important part of music. Without music there is no beautiful sounds to hear and our children shall not know what delight that you create. Music is a part of life and without it, we are no more than animals sitting and waiting for our final days. The OSI is an important part of life. The music they create helps create the better part of man. War creates the worse part. Which would you rather have?

- I have spent 4 years in Ticino, the best of my life, and I have been a supporter of the OSI all this time. I cannot imagine this orchestra simply disappearing, Why is Ticino still the poor parent of Switzerland?

- Ich habe das Orchster schon mehrfach gehцrt und war sehr begeistert. Man kann Kultur nicht dem Komerz ьberlassen, dann verliert die Gesellschaft ihre Identitдt
