MAY-JUNE 2006
A MESSAGE FROM PRESIDENT
GARY MATTS
Rat Pack Update
Anyone who has been involved in a
job action such as picketing or leafleting for an extended period can tell
you about the magnitude of the effort
it takes to be successful. It takes a
commitment not only from the officers, but also, more importantly from
our members. You have been there to
hand out leaflets and talk to audience
members an hour before each performance. You are the Union.
The CFM has filed a petition with
the National Labor Relations Board
for a representation election. That
means that the members of the
“Tribute” orchestra will vote for or
against CFM representation. If the
CFM prevails, the producers are
required by law to negotiate with
the CFM. This election has been
scheduled for May 23rd.
Thanks are due to the 200+ people that helped out at our opening
night picketing. These included
CFM members and members and
officers from IATSE, Actors’ Equity,
SAG/AFTRA, UFCW, AFSCME and
many more. Thanks are due to our
members who continue to take the
time to be at the Royal George an
hour before each performance.
Thanks also to Board member Leo
Murphy who in addition to his frequent appearances outside the Royal
George, has been coordinating our
efforts.
...FROM VICE PRESIDENT
TERRYL JARES
Music Performance Fund
The Music Performance Fund
allotment for 2006-2007 has been
determined. The money for this
fund comes directly from the sales
of recorded material. Record companies have not been producing as
many CD’s as they did in the past
and the purchase of recorded music
has taken on a new form – digital
downloads. MPF does not get any
money from the digital download
business and has suffered a decrease
in funding by $500,000 during 20052006. This represents over 20% of
the total budget of $2.5 million dollars. The expectations for the future
of MPF are bleak.
What does that mean in Chicago?
We have utilized MPF funds for
special projects in and around
Chicago. “Concerts in the Parks”
has been going strong since the
days of Petrillo with many concerts
presented in conjunction with the
Chicago Park District. This year, we
have scheduled only 15 concerts.
“Summer Dance,” sponsored by the
Department of Cultural Affairs, will
celebrate its 10th season of fine
music and dancing in the Spirit of
Music Garden at Harrison and
Michigan. Communities such as
Oak Lawn, Evergreen Park, McHenry, Mundelein, and Lyons have
brought Live bands to their parks.
Park Ridge has supported a full
symphonic orchestra for Friday
night concerts in their town square.
The Chicago Chamber Orchestra has
played to audiences in various cultural institutions throughout our
city. String quartets, brass quintets,
woodwind ensembles and percussion groups have performed educational concerts in schools both in
Chicago and in the suburban areas.
With the loss of over 20% of the
funding, MPF has had to cut back
our allotment this year by over 26%.
This means that our Local can cosponsor 26% fewer performances.
Projects will be reexamined and
since this money is made available
through the efforts of the American
Federation of Musicians, I will be
looking for ALL musicians to be
Union members. With fewer funds,
it is important to keep our Union
brothers and sisters employed first.
For those of you that may have cosponsorship opportunities, I would
welcome potential projects, but
keep in mind, that with the cuts
made to our allotment, funding of
any potential project can not be
guaranteed until we have the final
approval from MPF. I regret to have
to share this information.

AMAZING STATS
CFM member TONY DE SANTIS,
restaurateur and entertainment producer, has given Catholic Charities
$1million to feed the poor. It is the
largest single gift from a private donor
in the charity’s 89-year history. The
92-year-old owner of Drury Lane Oakbrook Theatre has donated the money
to help Catholic Charities serve more
than 4.8 million meals each year
through soup kitchens, shelters, and
senior lunch programs.
Renowned composer ELLIOTT
CARTER was recently honored by the
BBC Symphony Orchestra when it
devoted an entire weekend to his
music. Carter is 97 years old, has been
composing for nearly seven decades
and wrote his first opera at age 90.
Amazing!
WHAT ARE THEY THINKING?
Chicago public radio station WBEZFM (91.5) is eliminating music programming next year when its signal
strength increases nearly tenfold
and it switches to an all-public
affairs format. This announcement
was made April 6 in the Chicago
Sun-Times article by staff reporter
LESLIE BALDACCI. If you find the
dearth of radio music programming,
both jazz and classical a disappointment, please voice your complaints
to the comment forum at

Berton “Bert” Siegel
Berton “Bert” Siegel, a
violinist who played in
the Cleveland Orchestra
for 30 years until he
retired in 1995, died Feb.
15 at a hospital in Sarasota, Fla.
He was 80. The cause
of death has not been
determined.
Siegel joined the Cleveland Orchestra in 1965 at
the invitation of
George Szell,
arriving in the
violin section
along with his
wife Joan. They
met in 1966 in
the St. Louis Symphony and won
spots together in the Pittsburgh
Symphony in 1960.
Bert was born in Chicago and
studied at DePaul University. For
several years, he toured in big
bands, including one led by Harry
James. Siegel was a member of the
New Orleans Philharmonic before
landing a job in the St. Louis Symphony.
Three months after joining the St.
Louis orchestra, the Siegels were
playing their first rehearsal after
their wedding when the ensemble
struck up “Here Comes the Bride.”
In an interview before their joint
retirements from the Cleveland
Orchestra in August 1995,
the Siegels said playing
under Szell was far more
stressful than working
under other conductors.
“Sometimes it was agonizing,” said Bert Siegel.
“We would make jokes
that we were going to
rehearse finger by finger.”
Upon retiring from the
Cleveland Orchestra, the
S i e g e l s
remained active
musicians.
Splitting their
time between
homes in Cleveland Heights,
Florida and Colorado, they performed chamber music in a series in
Central City organized by Bert
Siegel. They also played string
quartets with friends and served as
members of the Sarasota and Fort
Myers symphonies.
Bert Siegel taught in the string
department at the Cleveland Music

Florian ZaBach
Florian ZaBach,
world-famous violinist and pops concert
artist, died Saturday
[February 25] in Dunmore. He resided in
Clarks Summit after
marrying the former
Gene Brislin, the late
columnist and feature writer for The
Scranton Times-Tribune and Sunday Times.
Born in Chicago, he was the
son of Florian
ZaBach Sr., a
native of Austria
who played clarinet with the Vienna
Philharmonic, and the late Anna
Morganfort-ZaBach. An only child,
he began his study of music first
with his father, then at the Chicago
Cosmopolitan Conservatory of
Music, and had further violin studies at the Prague Conservatory in
Czechoslovakia.
A child prodigy, who at the age of
12 made his debut with the Chicago
Symphony orchestra playing the
Mendelssohn concerto, Mr. ZaBach
is best known for his million-selling
record “The Hot Canary,” which
attracted worldwide acclaim, and
for his speed in playing “The Flight
of the Bumblebee,” about which
“Believe it or Not,” which clocked
the performance, wrote, “he plays
12.8 notes per second ... faster than
any known violinist in history.”
Upon his return to the states, he
joined the music staff of Chicago’s
NBC and WGN radio stations. Then
he served 2-1/2 years in the Army
Medical Corps as a private and a
corporal. After his honorable discharge, his music career reached
great heights upon being discovered
in Washington, D.C., where, as the
personable orchestra leader at the
Mayflower Hotel, he became a
favorite of the social set of the elite
political scene. It was there that he
was chosen by television’s Arthur
Godfrey, who presented Florian on
his shows several times each month
for years. This led to multiple
appearances on most of the megatelevision shows emanating from
New York at the time: Ed Sullivan,
Milton Berle, Ken Murray, Red Skelton, Steve Allen, Jack Parr and 25
appearances on the “Tonight Show,”
as well as his weekly CBS-TV shows
from the Big Apple. For more than a
year, he performed five one-hour
shows daily, seven days a week as
master of ceremonies, orchestra conductor and violin soloist on the
stage of New York’s Strand Theatre
on Broadway.
Then the tall, handsome blonde
was called to Hollywood, where he
was signed to film the new “Florian
ZaBach” show, a
weekly half-hour television series that was
syndicated and carried nationwide in
more than 90 markets, as well as most
major cities throughout the world.
As his reputation
progressed, each year
Florian received more
bids to appear
with major symphony orchestras
as soloist and
conductor
on
their pops concerts here and in
London, Vienna, Austria, and Genoa
and Venice, Italy; Australia, and
Bejing, among other concert halls.
His local Electric City solo
appearance with the symphony
orchestra was the first Gala Concert,
launching the major fundraising
drive for the Scranton Cultural Center’s renovation of the Masonic
Temple. Mr. ZaBach, who wrote all
the arrangements, played on his
appearances with many 100-piece
symphony orchestras, also had
countless albums on Mercury and
Decca records (on which he recorded his million-selling “The Hot
Canary”). During most of his career,
his constant companion was his
1732 Guarnerius del Gesu violin,
created in Cremona, Italy.
He was a member of the American
Society of Composers and Publishers and a gold cardholder of musicians’ unions in Chicago, New York
and Hollywood. A member of Our
Lady of the Snows Church, Clarks
Summit, Florian and his wife, Gene
ZaBach, were active in the Northeastern Pennsylvania Philharmonic
Orchestra Association, Community
Concerts Association, Allied Services, St. Francis Kitchen, Waverly
Community House, Scranton Public
Theatre, Broadway Theatre of Northeastern Pennsylvania, T.N.T. Theatre at the Cultural Center, Providence Circle Theatre, Keystone College, Marywood University and the
University of Scranton.
Also surviving is a stepdaughter,
Julia Shartzer, Silver Spring, Md.
The funeral will be conducted
Wednesday from the Howard J.
Snowdon Funeral Home, 1810
Sanderson Ave., with Mass at 9:30
a.m. in Our Lady of the Snows
Church, State Street, Clarks Summit.
Entombment will be private at Glenwood Mausoleum, Morgan Highway.
Friends may call Tuesday, 3 to 6
p.m. Memorial contributions may be
made to the Dunmore Health Center
Activity Fund, 1000 Mill St., Dunmore, 18512.

Broadway in Chicago
Presents
Two Open-Ended Production in Chicago
The Chicago Federation of Musicians is proud to represent the musicians for both of
these productions and appreciate the efforts of Broadway in Chicago and everyone else
involved to bring these shows to our audiences for, what we hope, is a long, long time.
Wicked came to Chicago’s Oriental Theatre
in April of 2005 as a stop in the Pamphlet B
Touring Production. Even before its opening, discussions were taking place about
another production of the show that would
stay in Chicago. The touring production
moved on to Los Angeles in June and the
very next week the “Chicago” Wicked
opened to rave reviews. Now, one year
later, it is going stronger than ever with
sold-out performances nearly every night.
At Right: WICKED PERSONNEL: Tim Burke, Ricardo
Castaneda, Carey Deadman, Jeff Handley, Peter
Jirousek, Mike Joyce, Mark Lekas, Michele Lekas,
Tim Lenihan, Lisha McDuff, Sean McNeeley, Tom
Mendel, Karl Montzka, Evan Rea, Scott Reed, Rick
Snyder, Colin Welford, and Jim Widlowski.
When the popular 25th Annual
Putnam Spelling Bee was looking
for a home in Chicago, the Drury
Lane Water Tower Theater was
the perfect match, as the show
requires a more intimate theater
experience. Opening in April of
2006, the producers look forward
to a long and successful run.
At Left: Band Members of Spelling Bee are
Bob Sutter (keyboard), Jocelyn Davis-Beck
(cello), Paul McGinley (woodwinds), Gregory
Brown (Musical Director and keyboard), and
Rich Trelease (drums & percussion)

NEW RULE II
On all engagements, whether single or steady, CONTRACTS MUST
BE completely filled out with full
name of purchaser and leader
typed or printed legibly and signed
by both parties. Contracts are
available at the Union or on our
website at www.cfm10208.org and
must be filed with the Local prior
to the commencement of the
engagement, or in lieu thereof, a
written, fax, or phone-in MEMO of
an engagement will be accepted
prior to commencement.
To leave a memo for an engagement, call (312)782-0063 or email
[email protected] and give the
preceding information:
1. Your name
2. Your phone number
3. Your union account number
4. Date of engagement
5. Time of engagement
6. Place of engagement
7. Contract number
8. Number of musicians

NOTICE: CONTRACTORS &
AGENTS: protect your leaders!
LEADERS AND SUB-LEADERS:
protect yourselves! It is the responsibility of the leader on the job to
verify that contracts are on file
with us prior to the engagement.
Call the contract department to
avoid initiation of action against
you for non-filing. If you then learn
that we have no contract, file a
memo to protect yourself.
NOTICE: Some members seem to
be under the mistaken impression
that contracts need not be filed
prior to the engagement date. This
is erroneous. The Business Agents
have been instructed to prepare
charges immediately upon finding
members playing without a contract or memo. By order of the
Board of Directors.
NOTICE: (Clarification of 15%
Payroll Fee) Our scales include
15% payroll charges, over and
above the Leader fee, to enable the
leader/contractor to make proper
payments and deductions to appropriate Governmental Agencies. If
leader/contractor does not assume
these payroll responsibilities, sidemusician must receive this addi-
tional 15% as wages.
MUSICIANS—”Examine your
paychecks.”
If leader has not withheld the
proper deductions, you are entitled
to have the 15% Payroll fee added
to your check as wages.
MEMBERS desiring to offer their
services gratis must first obtain
permission from the Board of
Directors. It is Board Policy that
members’ requests to perform
gratis for worthy causes will not be
entertained unless we are assured
that all other participants are
donating their services.

responsible for the payment of
Work Dues on all engagements.
