Knowing my penchant for quotes, my friend Abigail sent this over this afternoon from Bloomberg News:
[Clive] Gillinson, who came from the London Symphony Orchestra in
2005, made less in 2007-08 than two other New York performing-
arts leaders with more complex tasks. Lincoln Center President
Reynold Levy made $1.1 million to oversee a 16-acre complex that
houses 12 resident companies. Metropolitan Opera General Manager
Peter Gelb earned $1.5 million to produce 219 opera
performances…Gillinson oversees management, raises money and develops
“artistic concepts” for concerts, according to the hall.
I guess the writer doesn’t consider that a legit part of the job? Or like, he does it in the way David Letterman apparently “developed” “artistic” “concepts”?
