Professional Orchestras: Already well compensated?

[SearchMaster]

I think both sides have their points. The business realities of classical music favor the management, especially coming out of a recession. But it would be an awful shame if the US shut down or down-marketed all it's world-class orchestras.

It might be a shame culturally but in a free market society, their skill set is in much less demand than it used to be....just like telcos have had to adjust, they're going to have to make changes or perish.
