The pay varies widely in symphony orchestras. Many small towns have orchestras that pay "per service" (meaning per rehearsal or performance). Larger cities generally have salaried orchestras that range in pay based on prestige and budget. A third tier orchestra (Buffalo, Oregon, North Carolina) generally pays in the $30,000-50,000 range and up to the "big five" orchestras (Cleveland, Chicago, New York, Boston, Philadelphia) which have starting salaries around $110,000.
