Bankruptcy Judge Eric L. Frank said in a court hearing yesterday that he would approve a timeline to bring the Philadelphia Orchestra Association before the court again on June 28 for a confirmation hearing on the orchestra's reorganization plan, the Philadelphia Inquirer reported today. Because of the "aggressive scheduling," Judge Frank said that any objections to the orchestra's reorganization plan would have to be heard at the confirmation hearing, which could take a day or two. The judge, after reviewing a list of procedural concerns, said he was approving the quicker-than-usual schedule in recognition of the case's notoriety, suggesting that any interested parties were already aware of the bankruptcy. Ballots approving or objecting the plan are being sent to creditors and are due back by June 26.
