The blog of conductor Jason Weinberger

'Ask anyone in the business what is the biggest challenge facing classical music, and odds on their reply will revolve around funding cuts, inadequate music education and ageing audiences. It is also a dead certainty that retrogressive attitudes within classical music itself will not feature among the challenges.'

Characteristically insightful analysis from Bob Shingleton of On An Overgrown Path.

Let me take the argument a step further: The challenges so often cited by my colleagues in the biz are actually our most promising points of opportunity; what’s keeping us from embracing them industry-wide is a shocking prevalence of retrogressive thinking which only a few of us are willing to call out.
