 Re: Why Classical Music Still Matters...

The reason music matters is because this, just think how your life would be without it. As if the Taliban was in control and you were not allowed to listen to any type of music. Music is an art form and all types of art forms enrich peoples lives. Classical music is just one form of music but it needs public support. I'm not suggesting from taxes, but coming to concerts and making donations. The problem we have in the USA is that the first thing to cut out of the school budget is music and art in so many cities and states. The other problem we have is that there are so many other places to spend your entertainment dollars today so it is a problem and I'm not sure I see an answer. Yes, we may have hundreds of orchestras in the USA but only about 40 can be considered fully professional with a full season of concerts, not just 4 or 6 a year. This is in a country of over 300 million people with 50 states so that's not really a hugh number. My orchestra here in Baltimore is one of only 17 that have a 52 week season though we recently agreed to about a third cut in benefits and salary from our high of several years ago to stay above water.
