  • UK Assigns Tax Relief Options for British Orchestras, Similar to Those Used for Film Industry

    One of the constant struggles facing fans and producers of classical music is how to keep orchestras on their feet. No form of music is more expensive to carry out than orchestral-between the cost of paying for so many musicians and the time needed to train such a large "staff" accordingly-and those costs become more and more worrisome as younger generations have largely lost interest in the form. Ticket prices are rarely enough to keep orchestras afloat so very often they rely on hefty charitable donations. Politicians in the UK may have the right idea however, having introduced legislation to grant orchestras tax reliefs.

  • Seattle vs. New England: Spotify Compares and Contrasts Music Listening in Super Bowl Competitiors' Hometowns

    Music Times made an attempt several weeks ago to predict the winner of the Super Bowl based on quality of albums coming out of the regions represented in the AFC and NFC Championship Games. So far so good: Seattle is facing New England, as we predicted, but will the Seahawks triumph? Who knows? Not Spotify.
