All this for an arm waver

The conductor is the director of the orchestra. He does more than just wave his arms at performances. Still, $millions is a bit much.

conductors are celebrities now and the cities bid for their services. That drives the price up

My preference is for the law to deny “non profit” status to any outfit that charges fees for what it does. That will leave “non profit” as anything that is ONLY supported by donations or dues of its members (like any membership outfit).

That's actually a great idea. My preference would be to remove non-profits (if FedGov wasn't taxing people, you wouldn't need that status), but changing the definition to yours is a great step for now!
