The message Coachella is sending here is clear: don't go chasing waterfalls, Polish Symphony Orchestra. Stick to the Eastern European concert halls and recital halls that you're used to.
And it seems that's precisely what the 124-member supergroup will do.
Speculation has been rampant and ramp-ant that the Orchestra (which goes by the full name National Polish Radio Symphony Orchestra [NPRSO] - as if we didn't know they only ever get played on national radio) would not be attending ever since the announcement that the NPRSO was looking for a new concertmaster this January.
NPRSO broke onto the indie-classical scene in 1935, and has since released 198 albums, including their 2010's 15-disc record, "Mahler’s Complete Symphonies."
Since dropping "Dvořák's Hussite Overture, Op. 67, B 132" in 1973 the Orchestra's popularity has been on the decline. Nonetheless, sources has speculated that the group might return to the United States due to their limited overseas popularity.
More like National No-lish Radio Symphony Orchestra.
It has been suggested by Coachella insiders that the NPRSO's Wind Quintet could still be confirmed for the festival, check back for updates.
[UPDATE: the Quintet's Principal Bassoon Marek Barański has been taken to hospital after an apparent overdose. We assume this rules out the Quintet as well. Fucking bassoonists.]
