Instead of being paid for the gig, Taylor will give the symphony $500,000, his earnings after expenses.
...   "The support for classical music is diminishing,'' Taylor explained on a recent afternoon from his home in Lenox. "We have real concerns for what the future is for it. We also know it takes a huge structure to maintain a symphony and a lot of money.''

Men profess to be lovers of music, but for the most part they give no evidence in their opinions and lives that they have heard it.  ~ Henry David Thoreau

I love to hear of musicians who are not struggling, and who have the freedom to do what they like.

It's good to hear news like this.  Maybe it will inspire others to do likewise.

No envy, of course.... ;)

Certainly, I need not envy any musician from the standpoint of the freedom to do what I like  8)
