It’s an awkward design, the elements don’t work very well together and are very forced. But don’t worry, there are many worse uses of the swan.

and many more logos where the points are more absurdly forced.

I mean seriously? Well, what is a logo for but to be the symbol or brand of the organisation. If it is bad, it reflects on the whole place. To designers design matters. It’s there for a purpose, and it fails its purpose. Why doesn’t coke have a blank can with coke written on it? Because it does make a difference. Wouldn’t it make a difference if the WASO orchestra were to dress in tattered underwear for a major performance?
