I would expect much more hours when performing and less when not. I would expect it indeed would be approximately a fulltime job.
it's nowhere close. Most orchestras are playing 1-2 nights a week (max) and each performance has 0 or 1 rehearsal (1 if it's a new program, 0 otherwise). Average when performing is maybe 20hr a week
