Innocents Abroad
Day 3 questions are about standard of living/quality of life.
Specifically:
Given that standard-of-living comparisons are notoriously hard to make, what kind of livelihood does your orchestra provide? What’s the typical living situation for your colleagues? (ie house, apartment (I’m assuming we can exclude tent and mansion)). What kinds of commutes do your colleagues have? Medical care? Can your colleagues retire comfortably? And how would you compare what your orchestra provides economically to other professions where you are?
Do your colleagues work outside the orchestra, either musical work or otherwise?
Any general quality-of-life comments?
