The MET Orchestra Musicians & the Met Chorus Artists have not been paid in about 10 months. It’s a fact that has sparked resentment<\/a><\/span> when the Met Opera has staged several livestreaming events during the COVID pandemic \u2014 but without Met musicians.<\/p>\n

The Met’s Canadian Music Director Yannick N\u00e9zet-S\u00e9guin, along with his life partner Pierre Tourville, wanted to help. They have provided a generous offer of dollar-matching that will help fund the MET Orchestra Musicians and the Met Chorus Artists, organizations providing aid to the out-of-work performers.<\/p>\n

Any donations made by the public from January 4 to 27, 2021 will be matched dollar-for-dollar up to a maximum of $50,000. Up to $25,000 will go to each organization.<\/p>\n
