sir bengy! so you are like a free lance musician or a contractor? In other words you don't work for the same company do you? I'm not sure how that works. do you belong to one orchestra and that orchestra gets hired out by different clients?

Yes, in early music (my specialisation) everyone is pretty much a freelancer... You can be fairly certain of being first asked for certain groups, but there is no ongoing contracts. As for the orchestra, they are booked by different festivals and concert venues... But I don't know much about that side of the business!

sir bengy! but you just work for your orchestra right? and it gets the engagements? They are the ones who pay you right?

Yes, I guess you would say that in subcontracted by the orchestra of which ever ensemble has me for the week. They get the concerts, and they get paid and eventually the money comes to me!

howdy again sir bengy! ok I understand now and thank you for taking the time to explain this to me.
