Hey Marty,

How does one get to the New Your Philharmonic?


$100M!

the clear if slightly disturbing observation that the Leader of the New Your Philharmonic was on an impressive $523,647; a figure way in excess of what a British Orchestral Leader might earn.

Naturally! That's the way things work. Orchestras thrive on philanthropic donations. We should be grateful for private funding for the arts. Is a Board seat too much to ask!

Unsure if you actually wished to engage on the deeper impact of this article or offhandedly posted something interesting.

As a perennial season ticket holder in one of these locations. Your thoughts come across as more valuable than anything I might offer. If you cared to expand into apolitical thoughts on the John Russell Pope Music Room inside The Frick Collection my interest would be assured.

Dissolution of public access to the arts certainly seems to be realizing an uptick.
