The orchestra's musicians are meeting today to vote on the new three-year contract.
The musicians met while students at Yale and have remained together ever since.
The two musicians first met in California while attending college, and decided to work together as colleagues.
This was the first time when the three musicians met.
The two musicians had previously met in their high school band class.
In 1955, the musician met his future wife, June, and married her the following year.
The five musicians, all between the ages of 22 and 24, met through their musical interests.
It is also a place where musicians of all ages can meet up and form bands.
Five musicians, then in three separate bands, met through a local musician's message board.
The company and the musicians have not met since Nov. 5.
