Symphony to get $26K

COLUMBUS — The Youngstown Symphony Orchestra will get $26,000 as part of a settlement with music manufacturers. The funds must be used to expand music education programs, according to Attorney General Marc Dann. Six other orchestras in the state also received $26,000: Canton, Cincinnati, Cleveland, Columbus, Dayton and Toledo.

The money stems from a recent decision by a federal judge in Maine regarding a 2002 settlement agreement between 43 states and the manufacturers, including Sony, Universal, BMG, Time Warner and Capitol Records.
