"Avant garde" = New, experimental, unusual, radical, unorthodox.
At what point does an "avant garde" work become a "mainstream" work? To what extent can 'Le Sacre', first performed (as I write this) over 107 years ago, still be considered "modern" or "contemporary"?
Here in Communityville, simply the cost of renting "new" or "newer" music can be a prohibitive deal-breaker. The roughly US$500 for Stravinsky's Two Suites For Orchestra was a lot of money for the ensemble I play in.
