As a group, the symphony orchestras of the U.S. are unsurpassed inquality by those of any other nation in the world. Yet today they are introuble – loud, unavoidable, cymbal‐crashing financial trouble.
* * *The Detroit Symphony, which has just emerged from a … musicians’strike, is in such economic straits that it may have to disband.
* * *“ … we stand a very good chance of losing at least one‐third, if not halfof our major symphony orchestras.”
* * *The facts are summed up in a new study prepared for the nation’s topfive orchestras – New York, Boston, Philadelphia, Cleveland and Chicago– by the management consultant firm McKinsey & Co. Becauserocketing costs – most notably, sharply increased salary scales – have notbeen met by a similar gain in income, … .

So large are the deficits that orchestras have been forced to dip intoendowments to survive.
* * *One reason for the crisis is that money for the arts is tighter than it hasbeen in years. Because of more pressing social needs, the FederalGovernment, as well as many state governments, has cut back itsspending on culture.
* * *As for private donors, … the same reliable philanthropists also give tomuseums, hospitals and universities, and they have just about reachedthe limit of giving.

Continued Excerpts From National Magazine
Some critics of American orchestral life contend that the real trouble isthat the symphony has been for too long a plaything of the wealthy.Even though symphony‐going is not dominated by the rich to the extentthat it was 40 years ago, it is still a formal experience that most turned‐on youth regard as static, outmoded and irrelevant.
* * *The real problem is attracting the young today so that there will be anaudience tomorrow.
* * *“You cannot raise endowments by trying to finance the status quo.”

Cutting the orchestra’s costs isn’t the solution, Cook said. The orchestraalready did that to the point of “starving” its ability to function, she said.Because of staff cuts, it “didn’t have enough of a team” to createprograms that would bring in revenue.
“It isn’t an expense issue, “Cook said. “It’s a revenue issue.”That is, the orchestra has to bring in more money.
* * *Other groups nationally are building their financial wherewithal, too. InTexas, the Dallas Opera on Tuesday announced the completion of a drivethat raised $20 million in two years. A $10 million challenge grant froman anonymous donor was the key. In Tennessee, the NashvilleSymphony – which already has about $72 million in its endowment – ispreparing for a campaign to raise more.
