Very interesting juxtaposition on something that weighs heavily on my mind quite frequently
Six economic solutions to America’s orchestral crisis
1 Lock out the players for half a year and erase the wage bill
2 Slash the players’ wages by 20% or more
3 Slash the orchestra to Mozart size
Columbus (Oh), Louisville (Ky)
4 Put the musicians on part-time contracts
5 Abolish music director’s post
6 Engineer a strike before a major tour
Some ostriches still pretend there is nothing fundamentally wrong with a system founded on management-musician confrontation.
Think again. And think once more, before it’s too late.
