City Spends Five Millions for Music

which It is estimated will be spent in
five months for opera, symphony con.
certs and other forms of musical en-.
tertainment will come from music
patrons numbering less than $4,000,
or less than one per cent. Of the city's
total population. Probably not more
than one person in 500 ever attends
the opera, although concerts of varI.
Gus sorts are moro widely patronIzed.
Just why New Workers will have to
foot such an enormous bill for their
musical entertainment is indicated by
the salaries paid to the artists. A
really famous operate singer re-
celves as much as $4,000 for q single
performance. while symphony orches-
ira leaders are paid as much as $780,
900 for a season lasting only four
months.
Many Of these concerts and recitals
fail to earn anything. In one case dur
ing the last musical season just ten
seats were sold for a really meritori-
Gus concert. Eventually, however,
the public foots the bill, but whether
It can really enjoy the S6,0OO.OVO
worth Of music which It will absorb
next season remains to be seen.
