Not really a fan of the hook as unless one understands the significance of the Orchestra in question it's not exactly going to attract attention. Proposing an alternative:

ALT1... that Max Weil, founder of the Halifax Symphony Orchestra, spent his later years in real estate?

Overall: Thank you, 4meter4, for a very useful and comprehensive article. Although I like ALT1, I don't agree with the reason given for it: there will be a lot of people in Canada who would be offended by people of another nationality suggesting that their orchestra is insignificant, if they had seen that comment. That said, there is nothing wrong with ALT1, and it does the job required by DYK. So - good to go with ALT0 or ALT1, with preference for ALT1. Storye book (talk) 09:36, 19 June 2024 (UTC)
