On a recent night at Lincoln Center, New York Philharmonic musicians rallied concertgoers, advocating for support in light of contract negotiations that could reshape their future.
The musicians have not seen a pay increase since 2019, with their salaries trailing those of their counterparts in major cities like Boston, Chicago, and Los Angeles.
As the orchestra faces leadership challenges, including the absence of a permanent president and a full-time music director, its musicians took to the audience to garner support.
These labor talks are critical not only because of financial disparities but also due to ongoing investigations into past workplace misconduct that continue to overshadow the Philharmonic.
