Support for Orchestras

A Member asked a question concerning the financial position of a number of orchestras and asked if an explanation could be provided as to how the Barbican sought to balance its profitability alongside the need to support orchestral longevity. The Chairman noted the Barbican’s long-term support for the London Symphony Orchestra and asked that officers give thought to expressing the Barbican’s position in respect of this issue.
