How much does an average concert pianist make

As a parallel to the other thread. 

There are most likely a lot more of these people around.  Not quite into the territory of the best of the best like Kissin, Argerich or Hamelin.  Let's say a college piano prof. giving a concert in a large church, institution, or concert hall. 
Made a Liszt. Need new Handel's for Soler panel & Alkan foil. Will Faure Stein on the way to pick up Mendels' sohn. Josquin get Wolfgangs Schu with Clara. Gone Chopin, I'll be Bach

Typically a few hundred of the local currency, but it varies A LOT!
Instrumentalists are all wannabe singers. Discuss.
