No new negotiations have been scheduled between Chicago musicians and the symphony orchestra administrators.

More than 100 Chicago Symphony Orchestra musicians walked off the job Saturday night just two hours before the 8 p.m. show.

The musicians are unhappy with increased health costs in the latest contract offer.

But the CSO says its offer would make its musicians among the highest-paid in the country with an average salary of more than $170,000 a year.

If you had tickets for Saturday night's performance, you can exchange them for a different concert.
