Hire cheaper musicians from India or Eastern Europe.
Yeah that’s the main problem with one of the world’s greates orchestras...it’s not good enough. /sarc
Interest in attending live orchestral performance has declined. Many have closed and more will fail. Many charitable contributors relied upon to keep the doors open have turned their interests elsewhere. There is an imbalance, too much supply too little demand. A correction is coming. Those of us that enjoy classical music have no shortage of recorded performances to listen to at our leisure.
