I. MEMBER COMMENTARY – FAIR TRADE MUSIC

Who comes up with these things? Free Trade Music? Is this how we become “more relevant”?
Will this “feel good” labeling pay our bills?

INFO ON FAIR TRADE MUSIC
Fair Trade Music
Fair Trade Music is a grassroots campaign raising standards for freelance
musicians through organizing, collective action and education. City-by-city
we are building an organization of musicians, community leaders and
fans to support Fair Trade Music principles including our right to:
•    Negotiate Fair Contracts
•    Create Equitable Business Relationships
•    Establish Enforceable Contract Standards

Far too many of us often “pay to play” or play for “zero minus expenses”
with venues paying nothing and musicians covering all the costs. Pay often
depends on the “take” at the door or proceeds from the bar, but many clubs
don’t provide documentation on income or expenses. Without enforceable
contracts, transparency or accountability—musicians lose out. Through Fair
Trade Music, we organize and win.

Seattle’s Fair Trade Music Campaign is an example of what happens when
musicians join together to raise the standard of living for all musicians in
their community. In the past year, over 25 Seattle area clubs signed a pledge
to abide by Fair Trade Music principles. Musician-loading zones were established
in the area. The City of Seattle even proclaimed May 20th as Fair Trade Music
Day in support of a living wage for musicians.
Read the recent report examining the impact of the music industry on the Seattle economy.

AUDITIONS FOR CALSTATELA SYMPHONY

Please pass the word that the annual auditions for the CalStateLA
Symphony Orchestra/Olympia Youth Orchestra for the 2016-2017 season
will begin in June through mid August immediately after the season is
over.

Qualified students may submit the form on line at the website
http://www.olympiaphil.org

under “youth orchestra”.

I will be in touch to set up a time during the summer. The next
season begins late September of this year through early June of 2017.

The orchestra consists of talented students age 12 through college
age. Rehearsals are at CSULA on Sundays at 4:30-7PM. Tuition is $650
for the entire year. Scholarship is available on a need or merit
basis depending on instrument and individual student. The orchestra
students will also be able to take optional transferable college
credits from CSULA, perform with college music students in 4 on and
off campus concerts.

This is a great orchestra with lots of talented students taking part.
I look forward to hearing from students learning all orchestral
instruments.

Thank you!

Fung Ho
Music Director & Conductor
CalStateLA Symphony Orchestra/Olympia Youth Orchestra
