I believe RUSH will show the professional musicians much respect and acknowledge them at every show.

I hope they are paid well and treated with high regard.

This is a first for RUSH.

They believe it's important part of the music they want to be playing today, and, as a fan, I respect and support that.

Yes, it was for THEM not Me, that they came to write this song.

They're going to be on risers behind the amps on either side of the drum kit. The risers will lift to bring the string section into view.

There may also some sound proofing (clear plexiglass type) to block out some of the vibrations caused by heavy drumming. As long as the kit is is slightly in front of the string section, no barrier may be needed.

Their music stands will be monitors with cues to keep them in synch w/o a conductor. They may wear some type of ear monitor if necessary-- though it would look odd if they all wore 'cans' -- big studio headphones.

And how we the fans 'prefer' the sting section is irrelevant. It's how the professional musicians gauge will be best for the performance.

Is this just a guess?
