“The Boston Symphony Orchestra and its players have signed a new three-year contract, now in effect, that calls for a reduction in salary (base is $162,000) in Year 1 and rises as the BSO recovers “COVID-related losses” of $35 million.” [Musical America Worldwide, 11 September 2020]
BSO Musicians Agree to 37 Percent Pay Cut.
Surely a breakthrough achieving a result from such a resolute Union as this one. But necessary for the survival of a great orchestra.
At once heartening and heart breaking.
