Greg is a music critic and writer who is putting together a book on Classical music, more specifically what is wrong with classical music these days: aging audience, shrinking ticket sales, the relevance of classical concerts in today's world. It is a subject that I have been thinking allot about. Think about it, if you weren't used to going to a classical concert, would you feel welcome there? I think there is too much etiquette and too many preconceived notions; it is stuffy, it is only for rich people,you need to be educated about the music. I am a firm believer that classical music has something to say to EVERYONE. But there must be a way to convince people of this. Maybe the format we are using now is wrong. Think of how hip an art gallery opening is, for example. Young people dressing and looking how they want. When did classical concerts become so stuffy? I urge you to take a look at his website, and join me in a discussion about this. How do you feel about classical music concerts? What do you like? What needs to change?
