How were rates determined?
|
We/with help from MD decide on a fee we can afford and then negotiate with individual musicians or whole orchestras directly |
61% |
| We use a fixer (orchestra management, or leader, or agent/agency) and pay the rates they ask | 39% |
| We don’t know – MD has budget/overall fee and does it all | 6% |
| We have been using the ABO/MU agreement (17% were not aware of the ABO/MU agreement) | 5% |
