 Re: The Cleveland Orchestra musicians speak out!

The ticket price for the Icelandic symphony is 90% of the time about 29$ and 25$ without discount(50% of hour before and discount for season tickets).

Fulltime members of the orchestra are around 80 and the hall takes 900 people in seats of which around 350 are in lower price tickets.

I once heard that the starting ticket price for the Vienna Philharmonic New Year's concert was around 200€ and the waiting list were couple of years(maybe between 5 or 10 years).

I would never pay that price for any concert and I even don't like Vienna Waltz music at all.

Almost all the concerts in the Icelandic symphony are played only once except Christmas concert(focusing on kids) and the Vienna concert which is played 4 times in a row over 4 days. I just can't believe it. Where are all those people the rest of the season ?

The members have also told me it's their least favorite season playing the Vienna concerts. Horns and Violas playing the beat heavy light light and so on and Violins and clarinets constantly playing and Clarinets getting lots of flats and sharps(don't remember if it's only flats or sharps or both).
