The Orchestra Wage Gap
Are conductors and executives bankrupting American orchestras? In a recent New York Times piece, writer Blair Tindall described a conflict between the skyrocketing salaries of those at the top, and the cries of institutional poverty which have led to stagnating musician salaries and increasingly bitter fights between labor and management. Tindall joins us today to look at the “plight of the white tie worker.” Also: Who says you can’t find unusual operatic offerings during the summer months? At the Caramoor Festival in northern Westchester County a bel canto series led by Will Crutchfield gets underway this weekend which promises three rarities, all semi-staged: Gluck's "Paride ed Elena," Pauline Viardot's enchanting salon operetta, "Cendrillon" ("Cinderella”), and Francesco Conti's "Don Quixote in Sierra Morena." We get a preview today from the venturesome conductor and scholar.
