- International tours are expensive for orchestras. Though they may seem glamorous, there’s some serious business going on. “International, highly rated orchestras travel and play in great halls and great places. If you are playing in Musikverein [in Vienna] or Amsterdam [Het Concertgebouw], this is the cream of the music world. If the orchestra is invited, it speaks that the orchestra is of great quality, because a not-great orchestra wouldn’t play in the Musikverein.” – Pittsburgh Post-Gazette
