Re: support for classical music

When I say it's a cultural issue......that cuts both ways. Our society today is simply less enthusiastic about classical music and even jazz than it was 30, 40, or 50+ years ago. Less wealthy people are inclined (though I've yet to see statistics verifying it I would be shocked if high dollar donations aren't on the decline) to give money towards symphonies etc.....less middle class and poorer people are inclined to buy a ticket to a symphony concert or purchase one of their recordings for that matter.

Instead of pointing out the unfortunate, at least people posting on this board would call it unfortunate, cultural shift and maybe providing some sort of suggestion to reverse it.....he choose to attack one group.
