GRAY AUDIENCE?

posted by James Reel

While I have your attention, here's a good article from the Los Angeles Times debunking the notion that the graying audience for classical music is either a new or tragic thing. Read the article, and you'll be looking at a fairly rosy picture. The only challenge remains how to help younger people make the transition to classical concertgoing once they have the time and money, and I don't think that will be so hard; young people are more musically omnivorous now than they ever have been. What a relief!
