And so have other orchestras. NY Phil is not unique in their cancellation.

Orchestras, operas, broadway shows, not the entire season YET, and so many other musicians are out of work. The Baltimore Symphony ,where I retired from, gave a reduced salary and they are doing taped broadcasts for "smaller" groups so they can tape while playing at "social distances". I don't know how many other orchestra's are doing something similar. It's a tough time for so many musicians.

I watched 2 virtual concerts last Sunday (a quartet and a piano duo). Both were excellent and it was convenient, but certainly not the same as a live concert. I subscribed mostly to support the organizations. Both concerts were shorter than a typical live performance which I think is a good practice for virtual concerts.

At least the NYP is still paying the musicians, unlike the Met, which has the largest budget of any arts organization in the US.

Makes the cancellation of my Westchester Band summer series (after 51 straight seasons) seem trivial. But, it has to be done. What other choice? (workable vaccine, of course).

It's such a shame. I do feel grateful however, that they are keeping the musicians safe from covid by stopping these performances. Covid does bad things to the lungs and I worry about the wind players and singers catching it and losing their ability to play, due to developing long term lung disability from the virus. I would worry so much if they were being force to keep working in unsafe conditions.

All things considered, it is not surprising. At the same time, it may give NY an opportunity to renovate the concert hall and not disrupt performance schedules

Oh, what are the renovation concerns at Lincoln Center?
I ask because I last went to a concert at Benaroya Hall in Seattle, probably one of the best sounding halls I've ever heard. However the interior looked like a tribute to the '70s. Not that that is bad necessarily but things were looking a little "ragged."

What are idled professionals doing to fill the time, apart from some few virtual or distanced performances? Are they practicing hard, working up new repertoire? Are they depressed and letting practice slide? Are they forced to do other work to cover living expenses?

THANKS!
Of course moving up a huge construction project like that combined with a zero performance revenue stream may be too daunting.
