I don't think you're necessarily wrong, only because the evidence isn't yet in of the success or failure of "giving audiences some of what they want and then trying to steer them towards Mozart." That these concerts are in themselves moneymakers is probably indisputable. That they fill seats for the A major piano concerto performance is still unproven.


I agree with you but kinda see it as a Pascal's wager: a.) Doing popular concerts might or might not bring in any new classics audiences; it will, however, make money and not turn off audiences. b.) Refusing to do popular concerts will turn away some potential audience members. For me, as I imagine for many orchestra boards, choice a is the better option regardless of if it does indeed yield an expanded audience.
