Thanks for the reply! Glad to see you're optimistic. :)

1. Taking into account ticket sales, CD/streaming sales, and other means by which the market for classical music supports itself, are you generally more optimistic or pessimistic about the future of classical music in America?

2. What do you think are some of the best ways for classical music organizations to create new fans in younger generations? For example, is the answer programming more Star Wars or Final Fantasy concerts vs. teaching younger fans to love Beethoven or Mahler? Is the answer relaxing the environment, like casual dress and alcoholic beverages in the concert hall?
