First off, happy 2010 to everyone, and welcome to the new decade. I’d barely taken enough Tylenol when I played my first concert of the year on Jan. 1, a Pops show with Cirque de la Symphonie. For those of you who have never seen this, it’s pretty amazing, a sort of hybrid symphony concert and acrobatic display. As amazing as it was, it got me thinking about lots of issues related to the orchestral business these days.
