But those musics do not address the larger kind of architecture in time that classical music does, whatever each one of us knows that classical music must mean.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Obviously classical music tends to be stuff that is usually at least a hundred years old.
Classical music is something that we're very passionate about, but we always thought it was presented in a stuffy way.
I've worked with some great orchestras and amazing classical musicians, but I don't like the conceptualization of classical music as an elitist form of art.
It's not that people don't like classical music. It's that they don't have the chance to understand and to experience it.
The classical music world is so snobbish.
Talking about music is like dancing about architecture.
We have to go and show these people what classical music is. We say sometimes that classical music has a small audience, but it's because people don't have the chance to be closer to it.
People perceive opera and classical as elitist - I disagree. I've always tried to mix the two, make it more accessible.
I don't believe that classical architecture is enough to engage people anymore. They say: 'So what else is new?'
New music is absolutely integral to classical music.
