The remaining musicians are also temporarily reduced to part-time employment.
A rent increase made the orchestra forced to leave its premises on Nybrokajen which in turn led to reduced income.
We are cutting down on the number of permanent musician positions from 26 to 21. The wind symphonists have always been a survivor, but this is the biggest crisis so far, says CEO Henrik Marmén to DN.
According to Marmén, the cutbacks in combination with support from foundations, private individuals and Region Stockholm mean that the over hundred year old orchestra can still look ahead. The autumn concerts will be held as planned.
