 SLSO
revenue up
Though the Saint Louis Symphony Orchestra performed the same number of
concerts at Powell Hall as it did in 2007-'08 -- 109 -- this season it
reported a 15 percent increase in revenue: $5.57 million, up from $4.84
million. In addition, total attendance rose to 178,837 from 165,865, an
increase of 7.8 percent. Between January and May, the orchestra played
to seven near-capacity or sold-out houses. The symphony attracted larger
audiences with more popular offerings. These SLSO Presents concerts attracted 20,000 visitors, more than half of whom
were visiting Powell Hall for the first time.

Stuck in the middle
Naturally, media outlets in the West, such as the New York Times and
Gramophone, have been reporting on Chinese advancements in classical
music. The narrowing gap between China's and Korea's achievements in
music is cause for concern. Koreans have taken pride in a music industry
that was more strongly established than China's and demonstrated higher
artistry than Japan's. Now, as China takes precedence in artistry and
Korea's industry falls behind Japan's, there is a growing sense that
Korea is once again stuck in the middle.

Belgrade Phil struggles to survive
That newspaper ad last month offering the musicians' services "at
weddings, funerals, baptisms, birthdays, divorces and saints' days"? The
orchestra's music director says, "This was our way of drawing the
attention of a broader public to the problems of the Philharmonic, to
somehow present our financial problems in an absurd, Monty Python way."
And it worked: "Within 36 hours a Facebook support group had sprung up
with several thousand members … [and] the advertisement attracted a
surge of support from new, younger music fans."
