Classical Enjoyment – A Cost Barrier

Why are there not more young people at classical music concerts, wonders John Rockwell. “The incontrovertible fact remains: classical music, by and large, is ludicrously overpriced. MoMA’s $12 is barely more than the $10.25 to which some movie theaters in Manhattan have recently ascended. Rock concerts may be pricey, but songs can be downloaded for 99 cents or less, all the way down to zero.”
