It appears that in many cases it's true, the average audience member, and unfortunately most board members, don't recognize the difference in quality, but believe me, in many case we do, especially over time. It's a said state when the board and management are willing to give up quality over time for finances. It's so much easier for them to fund the orchestra that way, they don't have to work as hard or make financial commitments. As long as they see an orchestra on stage so many of them just don't care if it's a first rate symphony or just a symphony. We are experiencing that in my orchestra. They just don't care or even know the difference, but we sure know and those that can tell hear the difference over time. You can't build or sustain a great symphony with subs coming and going. ESP
