Munich orchestra: We’re underpaid

Munich orchestra: We’re underpaid

Musicians in the Munich Symphony Orchestra, ranking fourth in the city’s hierarchy, have discovered that they are paid 800 Euros a month less than the lowest paid in the other orchestra.

They have published an open letter to that effect.

Their conductor, Joseph Sebastian, says: ‘In a crisis, the weakest are hit hardest. This is not about a feel-good salary, but about the existential needs of our musicians. They are the worst paid in the whole of Germany and they have to live with that in (high-priced) Munich.’
