Of course part of why that is happening is that the classical audience primarily old boring curmudgeons who fear change. And is a big part of why classical is dying. It’s funny because the classical audience USED to dig new stuff. Then George Gershwin died and they drew a line in the sand, nothing composed that day would be accepted. They were good with all the cool evolutions and changes brought in by him and Debussy (though they rebelled against him for a while), but that was the end. Classical was set. Sucks for them actually, cause there’s AMAZING symphonies being written today, and they won’t listen. Hopefully when they die a new generation that can dig change will replace them.
Problem is, DEI has invaded classical music.
