Hi everyone,
You called??? My wonderful colleague Steve and I don't split our salaries. Without disclosing too much, especially with orchestras going through lots of problems financially, I will say that people go to other orchestras from the Met mainly to play less hours!!! Or to change lifestyles, or repertoire, live in a cheaper city. Not to get substantially richer. I think most of us would have gone into finance if that was the motivation, well maybe not anymore I will just say that David's numbers are off by a very large percentage. Probably because salaries change, people come and go and most of the orchestras we are talking about, including the MET, pay their principal players very well. BTW as far as I know the MET is a major orchestra, in one of the most famous cultural institutions in the world So, yes, Steve has a wonderful choice.
