David Stabler stays put

Stabler notes in his blog that he won't be taking the buyout from The Oregonian. That's good news for the arts here in Portland. The classical music scene here needs all of the publicity that it can get. Previews and reviews, no matter how much they've been cut back in recent years at The Oregonian, always help to get the word out and keep our music organizations and their artists in the public eye. Let's hope that Stabler can help to rebuild the discussion of classical music on the pages of The Oregonian.
