This depends on the following factors: -The orchestra -What the person plays -Ther position in the orchestra It is hard to give a range, but typically (at least where I live) orchestra players cannot live off of the wage they receive from being in the orchestra. To make enough money to live, they must teach, be a solo performer, etc.

Depends ... there are a lot of factors that come into play when considering compensation for symphony orchestra members. Some orchestra's are not famous enough to have sponsors or even any means to make money, so those players are usually volunteers for the most part. The musician, being a professional, does not rely solely upon the orchestra they play in for their income ... many play with other groups or have other "gigs" where the perform and earn a living. Some musicians also have other jobs unrelated to music where they make their living ... music playing is then a side-line ... something they enjoy doing for relaxation and socialization with other like musicians.

Depends. If one is playing in a nationally known orchestra, the wages might be substantial. If playing in a local orchestra you time is most likely donated for free.
