Musicians and management: we know in this field these relationships can be challenging and can be adversarial. But the narrative is changing here, and Season 2 closes with two people who have proven that labor relations can be positive and successful.Cellist Ted Nelson served as chair of the players committee at the Cincinnati Symphony, and Jessica Phillips served as players committee chair at the Metropolitan Opera Orchestra. Both worked toward collaborative and create agreements, and in this final episode of the season, they share first-hand about their experience—what works and what doesn’t at the bargaining table, what needs to happen before negotiations ever begin, how training musicians serving in these important roles is critical, and their thoughts on streaming contracts going forward so together we can make the pie bigger for all of us.See you again this fall for Season 3!
