Hi Avery.

 

By subventionned orchestra, I meant an orchestra whose costs are paid by the
State.  Sorry for my poor unsubventionned english.  In small Belgium, the
land is divided into two major subcountries : Flanders and Walloony.
Flanders is richer than Walloony.  I unfortunately happen to live in the
Walloony side of the land.  To give you an example of the kind of bucks we
get in here for artistic work, I had an important order from the state to
compose a 40 minutes piece for a 30 person orchestra.  It took me more than
one year to achieve this.  They paid me 3000 euros, which is about 4000 US
dollars.  One year work.  Now you know why I tweak old pianos.

What is the correct english term for orchestra paid by state ?

 

Best regards

 

Stéphane Collin.
