It’s about a game,” he says. “At its base, it’s supposed to be fun, and not stiff or awkward.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That’s exactly the idea, says Richard Lonsdorf, the symphony’s associate director of artistic planning. At the \"Concert of Champions,\" people cheered readily when their favorite players graced the screen, and booed at rivals. Waves of laughter floated over the audience during the section of football follies, set to music by Spence, Hedden and David Robidoux, as players accidentally ran into cheerleaders, dove into tables of Gatorade, and straddled the goal post.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For the sake of the future, Lonsdorf says, the symphony want to move beyond the “sit down and shut up” model of classical music, without abandoning its core mission.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[contextly_sidebar id=\"MqY5oOmhyQ24MsNSEP7MpNme7teFhZZX\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This is the age-old question of classical music -- it’s been going out of style for centuries. There’s this sense that the audiences are growing older. They're dying off. They aren’t being replaced by new ones.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So, a couple of years ago, the symphony started a film series. They show movies like \"Psycho\" and \"Star Trek,\" while the orchestra plays the musical score live. Later this month, they’ll show \"Vertigo,\" and after that, \"E.T.\" Lonsdorf says the series has attracted a younger, more diverse audience.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“You create this ability for people to feel more comfortable with things, and we hope that it will start to bleed over into our standard offerings,” he says. “It’s a real leap to imagine that someone coming for the first time to the symphony’s 'Concert of Champions' is suddenly going to sign up for our next Mahler cycle. Not that they shouldn't. But you have to create interstitial steps between this kind of project and our most venerable classical properties. And so that's something we're constantly working on and refining.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For Luke McMahan and Greg Kalman, football night was a success.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I loved how the music correlated completely with the plays. When the guy was ramming through people and running for the touchdown,” Luke said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I got more of a respect for the sport,” Greg added. “These players really do work hard.

But he hopes people will also keep it in perspective.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This music has spit and blood and sweat and guts and laughing. It’s about a game,” he says. “At its base, it’s supposed to be fun, and not stiff or awkward.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That’s exactly the idea, says Richard Lonsdorf, the symphony’s associate director of artistic planning. At the \"Concert of Champions,\" people cheered readily when their favorite players graced the screen, and booed at rivals. Waves of laughter floated over the audience during the section of football follies, set to music by Spence, Hedden and David Robidoux, as players accidentally ran into cheerleaders, dove into tables of Gatorade, and straddled the goal post.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For the sake of the future, Lonsdorf says, the symphony want to move beyond the “sit down and shut up” model of classical music, without abandoning its core mission.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This is the age-old question of classical music -- it’s been going out of style for centuries. There’s this sense that the audiences are growing older. They're dying off. They aren’t being replaced by new ones.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So, a couple of years ago, the symphony started a film series. They show movies like \"Psycho\" and \"Star Trek,\" while the orchestra plays the musical score live. Later this month, they’ll show \"Vertigo,\" and after that, \"E.T.\" Lonsdorf says the series has attracted a younger, more diverse audience.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“You create this ability for people to feel more comfortable with things, and we hope that it will start to bleed over into our standard offerings,” he says. “It’s a real leap to imagine that someone coming for the first time to the symphony’s 'Concert of Champions' is suddenly going to sign up for our next Mahler cycle. Not that they shouldn't. But you have to create interstitial steps between this kind of project and our most venerable classical properties. And so that's something we're constantly working on and refining.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For Luke McMahan and Greg Kalman, football night was a success.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I loved how the music correlated completely with the plays. When the guy was ramming through people and running for the touchdown,” Luke said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I got more of a respect for the sport,” Greg added. “These players really do work hard.

One key statistic: Attendance fell off within every generation as it aged, defying the conventional idea that people eventually discover classical music as they go gray.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The San Francisco Symphony has a more diverse audience than some orchestras, but the average age of attendees in the main concert hall is 64, and the largest percentage is 65 to 74.

You know how to do that.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The\u003ca href=\"http://www.americanorchestras.org/\" target=\"_blank\"> League of American Orchestras \u003c/a>did a \u003ca href=\"http://www.americanorchestras.org/knowledge-research-innovation/audience-engagement/nea-research.html\" target=\"_blank\">national study \u003c/a>with the \u003ca href=\"http://arts.gov/\" target=\"_blank\">National Endowment for the Arts\u003c/a> in 2009, and found that symphony attendance has declined, no matter how you measure it, from the early 1980s to 2008. One key statistic: Attendance fell off within every generation as it aged, defying the conventional idea that people eventually discover classical music as they go gray.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The San Francisco Symphony has a more diverse audience than some orchestras, but the average age of attendees in the main concert hall is 64, and the largest percentage is 65 to 74. (Symphony staff noted with excitement that more than half of new subscribers in the 2014/2015 season were between the ages of 35 and 64.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So here’s a recipe for a younger audience, according to league president Jesse Rosen:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“A greater emphasis on intimacy, being in smaller spaces, increased priority on being able to socialize, and have an environment conducive to visiting and talking and drinking.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Which sounds a lot like SoundBox.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_10461724\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2015/03/MTT.jpg\">\u003cimg class=\"wp-image-10461724 size-medium\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2015/03/MTT-800x478.jpg\" alt=\"Michael Tilson Thomas conducts members of the SF Symphony and Chorus.\" width=\"800\" height=\"478\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2015/03/MTT-800x478.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2015/03/MTT-400x239.jpg 400w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2015/03/MTT-1440x860.jpg 1440w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2015/03/MTT-1180x705.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2015/03/MTT-768x459.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2015/03/MTT-320x191.jpg 320w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2015/03/MTT.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Michael Tilson Thomas conducts members of the S.F.

Management has refused to open its financial books so that a fair deal can be reached that will keep the orchestra competitive with its peers in Chicago and Los Angeles and remain a world class symphony. Instead management is rewarding themselves with six figure bonuses and seeking a contract that will not allow Musicians to keep up with the cost of living, which is why Musicians, such as David Herbert – who is joining the Chicago Symphony – are leaving. The San Francisco Symphony receives approximately $2.6 million in annual funding support from the public, yet management will not open the books and be transparent about how those funds are being used. On March 12, management stalled negotiations yet once again, and as a result the Musicians will make a major labor announcement today.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>SAN FRANCISCO SYMPHONY CONCERT SCHEDULED for 2:00 PM MARCH 14 CANCELLED DUE TO WORK STOPPAGE BY MUSICIANS\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>SAN FRANCISCO, March 13, 2013 – Due to a work stoppage by the musicians of the San Francisco Symphony (SFS), the concert scheduled for 2:00 p.m. on Thursday, March 14 has been cancelled and will not be rescheduled. Patrons can obtain up-to-the-minute information on concerts, ticket exchanges and customer service by calling the Symphony Box Office at (415) 864-6000 and on the Orchestra’s website at www.sfsymphony.org/press.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Musicians Union of San Francisco, Local 6, American Federation of Musicians, representing musicians of the San Francisco Symphony, have rejected proposals from the Orchestra administration for a new three-year contract that would have kept the musicians among the three highest paid orchestras in the country. The administration notified the musicians that a revised proposal would be presented Thursday, March 14 but the musicians decided to strike rather than continue negotiations overseen by a federal mediator.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The latest administration proposal offered a minimum base yearly salary of $141,700 in the first year, with multi-year increases to $144,560 by the end of the proposed contract. During the most recent four-year contract, the musicians’ base minimum pay increased by 17.3%, an average of 4.3% per year. In addition to the minimum base salary, other musician compensation such as radio payments, over-scale, and seniority raises the current annual average pay for SFS musicians to over $165,000.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The administration’s most recent offer also maintained all current benefit payment levels including 10 weeks paid vacation, a maximum pension of $74,000 annually upon retirement, paid sick leave, and a full coverage health plan with no monthly contribution for individual musicians.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We are disappointed that the musicians have chosen to strike and deeply regret any inconvenience to our patrons,” said Brent Assink, Executive Director of the San Francisco Symphony. “We will continue to work hard to develop a fair agreement that gives our talented musicians a contract that reflects our stature as one of the top orchestras in the country but also one that sets a prudent financial course for the future.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Providing affordable health care options for musicians remains a key goal. With the rising cost of health care, SFS administration proposed health care plan changes but still offered a health care plan option with no monthly contribution for individual musicians. The latest proposal also maintained a maximum $74,000 annual pension for retiring musicians, with a slight increase in retirement age to draw full pensions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the current economic environment, the San Francisco Symphony is facing the same challenges that other major American orchestras around the country are facing. For all four years of its most recent collective bargaining agreement with its musicians, operating expenses have outpaced operating income.

The immediate impact: The symphony announced a concert scheduled for 2 p.m. Thursday has been canceled. Also in jeopardy: a tour to the East Coast, including stops at Carnegie Hall in New York City and the Kennedy Center in Washington, D.C.

Management has refused to open its financial books so that a fair deal can be reached that will keep the orchestra competitive with its peers in Chicago and Los Angeles and remain a world class symphony. Instead management is rewarding themselves with six figure bonuses and seeking a contract that will not allow Musicians to keep up with the cost of living, which is why Musicians, such as David Herbert – who is joining the Chicago Symphony – are leaving. The San Francisco Symphony receives approximately $2.6 million in annual funding support from the public, yet management will not open the books and be transparent about how those funds are being used. On March 12, management stalled negotiations yet once again, and as a result the Musicians will make a major labor announcement today.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>SAN FRANCISCO SYMPHONY CONCERT SCHEDULED for 2:00 PM MARCH 14 CANCELLED DUE TO WORK STOPPAGE BY MUSICIANS\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>SAN FRANCISCO, March 13, 2013 – Due to a work stoppage by the musicians of the San Francisco Symphony (SFS), the concert scheduled for 2:00 p.m. on Thursday, March 14 has been cancelled and will not be rescheduled. Patrons can obtain up-to-the-minute information on concerts, ticket exchanges and customer service by calling the Symphony Box Office at (415) 864-6000 and on the Orchestra’s website at www.sfsymphony.org/press.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Musicians Union of San Francisco, Local 6, American Federation of Musicians, representing musicians of the San Francisco Symphony, have rejected proposals from the Orchestra administration for a new three-year contract that would have kept the musicians among the three highest paid orchestras in the country. The administration notified the musicians that a revised proposal would be presented Thursday, March 14 but the musicians decided to strike rather than continue negotiations overseen by a federal mediator.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The latest administration proposal offered a minimum base yearly salary of $141,700 in the first year, with multi-year increases to $144,560 by the end of the proposed contract. During the most recent four-year contract, the musicians’ base minimum pay increased by 17.3%, an average of 4.3% per year. In addition to the minimum base salary, other musician compensation such as radio payments, over-scale, and seniority raises the current annual average pay for SFS musicians to over $165,000.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The administration’s most recent offer also maintained all current benefit payment levels including 10 weeks paid vacation, a maximum pension of $74,000 annually upon retirement, paid sick leave, and a full coverage health plan with no monthly contribution for individual musicians.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We are disappointed that the musicians have chosen to strike and deeply regret any inconvenience to our patrons,” said Brent Assink, Executive Director of the San Francisco Symphony. “We will continue to work hard to develop a fair agreement that gives our talented musicians a contract that reflects our stature as one of the top orchestras in the country but also one that sets a prudent financial course for the future.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Providing affordable health care options for musicians remains a key goal. With the rising cost of health care, SFS administration proposed health care plan changes but still offered a health care plan option with no monthly contribution for individual musicians. The latest proposal also maintained a maximum $74,000 annual pension for retiring musicians, with a slight increase in retirement age to draw full pensions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the current economic environment, the San Francisco Symphony is facing the same challenges that other major American orchestras around the country are facing. For all four years of its most recent collective bargaining agreement with its musicians, operating expenses have outpaced operating income. While concert and related revenues have increased 2.4% compounded annually during the term of the four-year agreement, concert production expenses have increased 8.1% compounded annually. The Orchestra has incurred an operating deficit in each of those years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Many of America's top orchestras are facing similar challenges with increased concert production, pension, and health care costs currently outpacing revenue growth. We are developing a multi-year plan to achieve a balanced operating model, including identifying and growing new sources of revenue and at the same time reducing the growth rate of expenses,” said Assink.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As a non-profit organization, the Symphony provides transparency about its finances in fully audited and publicly available documents in accordance with the law.
