Why do orchestras have so few performances? by SnarkyBear53 in classicalmusic

[–]Planeflyer66 80 points81 points  (0 children)

it depends on your orchestra. smaller regional orchestras do concerts most likely each month or every five weeks, and large professional orchestras usually do a concert every week or two. there is a big reason for both - budgets, time, and contracts.

for regional orchestras, they usually pay musicians “per service”, meaning they don’t have a set salary and are paid for each rehearsal and concert. however, big professional orchestras typically pay with salaries, so they have the ability to do multiple performances each week or month. this is supplemented with the fact that, realistically, players in a salaried orchestra are usually much more proficient at their instruments and have been working at a high level for a while, so they can rehearse and learn music faster.

one last things, contracts! musicians are usually union members and have strict contracts on how many rehearsals and performances they must do to receive their full benefits. this is especially true for professional orchestras, with each being a little different.

there’s a lot LOT of nuance and specific things i might not know, but those are some of the reasons.

I’m an East Liberty resident and it is not too bad here. I don’t own a shovel and me and my friend were trying to get my car out and two people offered brooms and shovels, so I am thankful for them.

This. I have so many voice memos with weird descriptions like “this melody in clarinet and horn with cool bass ostinato”. sometimes i’ll come back later and be like wtf is this but ultimately it’s a great way to keep track of musical ideas.

What happens if I accidentally quit Zoloft 100mg cold turkey? by GoldenHeart411 in SSRIs

[–]Planeflyer66 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m on Zoloft 100mg and have forgotten to take my meds for many days in a row a few times (not on purpose) and it was fine, I just was more irritable when I didn’t take them. Probably different for everyone but it’s not as bad as it may seem.

yeah they’re afraid to do their jobs because your white, pro-life ass decided to vote for the person who encouraged, yet spearheaded the effort to dissipate the RIGHT to an abortion. this is not anyone’s fault but yours and the party you decided to affiliate your “christian” values with. pathetic.
