Meanwhile they’ve priced tickets way beyond what most people can afford. So they’re only catering to “the one percent” or so. Pretty selfish especially for artists in a city which prides itself on its advanced socialism. (They do give an annual free concert, I suppose that’s their sop to whatevers left of their “social conscious”.). I say let’s open it up to those super-talented kids !
I had the misfortune to know a Julliard grad who was one of that type. Believe me. If you think the average lib could care whether or not you draw breath, many of the ‘musical elite’ wish you wouldn’t. In fact, this one guy was literally offended that ‘commoners’ (yes, he used that term) were ALLOWED to listen to classical music at all.
