PHILADELPHIA (AP) The musicians known as the Fabulous Philadelphians are feeling more drab than fab about their management these days.

.

The Philadelphia Orchestra, counted among the world's most renowned symphonies for most of its 111 years, is plotting steps toward financial harmony after filing for bankruptcy protection, even though it has no outstanding debt and an endowment of $140 million.

.

As a judge in U.S. Bankruptcy Court plans hearings in coming months on the petition, orchestra leaders argue that it's perilously low on cash. They're getting little sympathy from the musicians, who say their bosses simply haven't reached out to the right donors and have put them in the line of fire.

While orchestras, museums and performing arts centers nationwide have been feeling the pinch amid the recession, the Philadelphia Orchestra also suffered from a gap in leadership for the past several years while it sought candidates for vacant positions now filled for a permanent board chairman, chief executive and music director.

.

Long ago dubbed the Fabulous Philadelphians, the orchestra was the first to appear on national television in 1948, the first American orchestra to tour communist China in 1973, and the first to stream a concert over the Internet in 1997. Its hundreds of recordings include the soundtrack to Walt Disney's 1940 film "Fantasia," which helped popularize symphonic music in the U.S.

.

It gained international renown under conductors Leopold Stokowski and Eugene Ormandy and is generally counted among the "Big Five" American orchestras, along with New York, Boston, Chicago and Cleveland. But struggling with dwindling attendance and donations, shrinking endowment income, pension costs and rent prices at the Kimmel Center for the Performing Arts, it became on April 16 the first major U.S. orchestra to seek Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection.
