It's all about the music, dude! Sit down, relax and listen to some tunes.

More like very hard-nosed bargaining.

And ultimately forcing the players to accept a reduction in the size of the orchestra and a 15 percent cut in pay and benefits. I'm sure the players knew from the start of negotiations they would have to accept cuts, and the question was, how deep.

Some of their top players got jobs elsewhere during the lockout and did not return. It is remarkable to me that the orchestra survived such a long lockout at all. Others have not. But from management's point of view, you can't draw down your endowment until you're broke and then try to save the situation.
