Im sure you could tell me a hell of a lot about Stravinsky, Beethoven, Etc. You likely know the music, own CDs, but DONT go to the concerts. Your reasons mentioned above are the main reasons that most people in your position don't attend concerts (aside from expense, because I really don't believe that people in DC or major US metro areas can't afford concerts, you should see how many DC area people were at circuit city last night waiting in line to buy some really high priced HDTVs).
-------------------------------

I think you're under-estimating the effect of ticket prices on the middle-class audience. I make decent money, but it's still a lot less than $100k, have a mortgage and two kids in high school. When people buy high-priced hardware, they expect it to last several years, while people like to go to concerts fairly frequently. For me, $25 is steep for tickets to a concert or show. The only time I have ever paid $50 was for Phantom; that was about 3 years ago and I haven't been to one since. There is no way I could ever justify (even to myself, let alone my wife) paying $100 for tickets to anything. I like your idea for your chamber orchestry, though a 9:00 show is too late for me. I need to be in bed by 10:30 because I have get up before 6:00AM.
