Balance sheet 16/17 of the Tonhalle Society Zurich
In the 2016/17 season, the Tonhalle Society Zurich staged 145 concerts with 95 different programs, 100 of them in the Great Hall, 39 in the Small Hall of the Tonhalle Zurich and six external concerts.
The loss of CHF 438,880 is below budget. According to the company's press release, this is due to "the massive own contributions made by the Tonhalle-Gesellschaft Zürich for the investments in the Tonhalle Maag".
Attendance figures remained stable despite the expanded program, with around 108,472 people attending concerts at the Tonhalle Zurich. Due to cancellations and the absence of the Zurich Festival at the end of the season, attendance fell from 70.4 to 67.1 percent. Overall, however, more subscriptions were sold.

could play. Although an artistically outstanding replacement was found in Jean-Yves Thibaudet, the loss of income was considerable due to lower ticket prices and reduced audience interest.
