announced Friday it was making the “painful decision” to consolidate its classical series concert weekends for the upcoming 2023-24 season and reduce its administrative staff by 15.4% in an effort to reduce costs.
“Our colleagues across the arts sector have all been feeling pain as we emerge from the pandemic,” President and CEO Gabriel van Aalst said in a press release. “The New Jersey Symphony is, unfortunately, not immune from the impact of both recent cost increases of almost 30% and audience numbers that are only 75% of our pre-pandemic seasons.”“With an already fragile business model, we are compelled to adapt to a new, more sustainable future,” Aalst said.
The number of performances on some of the remaining 11 classical weekends will increase to “allow the organization to be amortize the cost of rehearsals and other operating expenses.”
