Consultants Told Shreveport To Slash Musician Costs
Talks are continuing between the musicians of Louisiana's Shreveport Symphony and their management, which wants to slash salaries 75% and convert the musicians to part-time per-service players. Meanwhile, it has emerged that the symphony's board decided the cuts were necessary after hearing reports from two industry consultants who considered the orchestra's current model unsustainable.
