QUICK TAKES - Jan. 22, 2009
Carnegie Hall is cutting its 2009-10 schedule by 10% because of the recession, instituting a hiring freeze and slashing $4 million from the budget for its current season to keep it balanced.
Carnegie executive and artistic director Clive Gillinson says next season’s budget will be even lower than the revised $76 million for this season. Carnegie announced a schedule of 180 concerts, down from about 200 in recent seasons.
Susan Brady, the hall’s director of development, says individual giving for this season was down 17% to 18%, to $11 million.
