Orchestral musicians are highly skilled professionals who deserve respect and decent pay. Have you heard of something like that before? Audience members can sense a you”renotdoingusanyfavorbybeinghere’ attitude from an orchestra, and if they sense it strongly enough, they’ll wonder why they should bother paying for tickets, let alone making donations. Why is it that the orchestra members still have to wear their monkeysuits which are very uncomfortable, expensive to keep clean, and suchlike -,hot in warm weather and under the hot lights of the stage?
