  • RFO Geschiedenis 1993
    RFO Geschiedenis 1993 Ombuiging en reorganisatie Minister d’Ancona van WVC (foto) presenteerde op 19 februari 1993 haar plannen aan de Tweede Kamer met betrekking tot de Nederlandse orkesten en de opera. Zij stelde voor om niet de door NOS/NOB voorgestelde 10 miljoen, maar de door haar eerder gevraagde 5 miljoen te bezuinigen op het budget van het MCO. Het Muziekcentrum van het NOB kreeg bovendien een jarenlange garantie voor het resterende budget van 52,5 miljoen gulden per jaar, verzelfstandiging van het Muziekcentrum in een stichting, een verbeterde huisvesting en een organisatorisch en artistiek verantwoorder relatie met Radio 4. Artistiek directeur en chef-dirigent Edo de Waart was onder de omstandigheden nog redelijk tevreden over het ministeriële besluit: “Inleveren en inkrimpen doet altijd pijn, maar er is geen sprake van collectief ontslag. De musici kunnen zich de komende jaren volledig concentreren op de muziek en voor het eerst kan een meerjarenbeleid ook werkelijk worden uitgevoerd.” Op 24 maart 1993 ging de Tweede Kamer akkoord met het plan van de minister. Vanaf 1 januari 1994 zou de ombuiging tot stand komen via een ingrijpende efficiency-operatie. Binnen vijf jaar moest een geleidelijke uitbreiding van het RFO van 98 naar 108 formatieplaatsen plaatsvinden, alsmede een inkrimping van het Radio Symfonie Orkest naar 84 musici. Met deze reorganisatie moest de omlegging van 5 miljoen uit het MCO-budget ten gunste van het CoBo-Fonds t.b.v. filmproducties worden gerealiseerd. Rob Overman wordt de nieuwe manager van het RFO “Ik ben een terrier”, introduceerde drs. Rob Overman zichzelf in het eerste nummer van RFO-Informeel, het blad van en voor leden van het Radio Filharmonisch Orkest (dat in november 1992 zou verschijnen).
