What Happened to Classical Music?

2. Why Isn’t Classical Music popular anymore? Pg. 4

3. What is Modern Classical? Pg. 5

Attending the Chicago Symphony Orchestra made me think of many things, one of these things was genius. For a man to write an entire symphony he has to have quite a high IQ. To write a piece that mends so many instruments together in such beautiful harmony and make such beautiful music really is a talent that I would love to have. I now see why the greats such as Bach, Beethoven, Mozart, etc. are considered full fledged geniuses.

But while I was there I began to ponder some things such as why is this not a sell out crowd? Sure it is a Tuesday night but that never stopped anyone from selling out a performance. What has happened to this beautiful art from, it seems to have gone from the top of the music food chain to somewhere in in between.

Many people wonder if Classical music can ever be as huge as it was hundreds of years ago. Can we return to that golden age
