The amounts of the various components in the mixture can vary relative to each other. For example,a person could add one or two spoons of sugar to their coffee. No. The elements that make up the compound are combined in fixed ratios. For example, water is always two atoms of hydrogen and one atom of oxygen.
Orchestral Salaries. In 2010, orchestra musicians, including violinists, averaged $28,000 to $115,000 a year, according to a survey by Berklee College of Music, a Boston-based undergraduate program.
But for now the orchestra seems more focused on cuts and restructuring. In a speech last month to the Nashville Kiwanis Club, orchestra CEO Alan Valentine revealed that he and music director Giancarlo Guerrero had both taken 15 percent cuts to their salaries of $381,920 and $471,458 respectively. They also received 6 percent reductions in retirement benefits.
