Breaking News: The Royal Shakespeare Company (RSC) is making drastic cuts, and sadly, musicians are bearing the brunt of it. According to recent reports, the RSC is planning to eliminate all staff musician positions as part of a restructuring plan. This decision comes as the company navigates a significant financial challenge, facing a £5 million shortfall.
The RSC, a renowned institution, is reducing its workforce by 11 percent, impacting a total of 835 employees. While the news is undoubtedly disheartening for the musicians affected, it also raises questions about the broader challenges facing arts organizations.
Historically, the holiday season often brings news of cutbacks within the arts sector.
But here's where it gets controversial... The Musicians Union's involvement, or lack thereof, is also a key point to consider.
