The interim management of the NY Philharmonic has offered the musicians a 30 percent pay raise, taking the basic minimum wage in the stringa to $205,000 a year. Players in other sections automatically earn more. The musicians willl vote today on whether to accept the deal.
‘This is a restorative settlement that brings our musicians to the level of their peer orchestras,’ acting CEO Deborah Borda told the parish paper.
‘Our members deserved this raise,’ said Local 802’s Sara Cutler, who said yesterday that players could not afford to pay their bills on a mere $153k a year.
