This is a normal post What he said
Not all forms of music are profitable live. For example music requiring large numbers of players. Non dance music.

It may be true for solo dj's and small popular combos but not all

This is a normal post The Royal Philharmonic do ok
And the Proms sell out every year. I do take the point though.

This is a normal post Well the RP charge rather a large ticket fee and get loads in donations from wealthy patrons.
They're also a business with the individual members not getting royalties but a salary. About 30 to 40 grand IIRC from muso mates talking about it.

Now that's a good wage but that's for an artist at the top of their game.

This is a normal post Very few classical players are professional
All but the very top have day jobs making them semi pro at best. Countless orchestras have gone to the wall. Shame that such highly trained folks have such little appreciation.
