in this country, that it is a genre for OLD WHITE PEOPLE, overwhelmingly: only the blind would agree that. This forum is a great example, with the fact ZERO women participate yet another example of exclusivity.Classical music is the LEAST favorite music in the US, by far.
Frankly, I don't care about the popularity question, except as far as it impacts the longevity of the art. The expanding inclusion of women and people of color is a great recent development, though a ceiling exists for conductors/music directors. How else to explain the large numbers of those orchestra/soloist players vs those positions?
There are historical reasons, of course, for the whiteness of this art form; specifically, the European roots. But it's been a long time since the exportation of this wonderful music tradition to the US and non-European nations--- and high time to continue more forcefully to be inclusive.
Why not just let it happen? Because perceptions and history make folks concerned about being rejected after years of work. That is why there exist so many programs of out-reach. Imagine yourself, if you're a white guy, going to interview at an all black organization that has never employed a white guy--- and you knowing full well that race relations in this country are... less than ideal.
