. . . on the "patronage" business model. ;-)
etc.
In this respect, I think Mr. Getty is the opposite of composer Ernest Chausson, who actually suppressed performances of his own music because he felt that his wealth gave him an unfair advantage over other composers of his time, and he (Chausson) also felt that if his music were really compelling for audiences, it would survive in the repertoire without the infusion of his additional cash! ;-)
In any case, I believe I read that Pentatone's operational structure was written up in the Harvard Business Review. It's a nice business model as long as it lasts - assuming you can get it established in the first place! ;-)

I can't imagine why...
We will certainly miss GG when he and his money is gone and the new rich are no where to be found when the Opera and Symphony come calling.
One Usher House or two every few years plus a short work now and then at the Symphony is a small price to pay.
The Jazz and Chamber Music Concerts I've attended ( and played )
have almost exclusively middle aged and up in attendance.
Similar at ACT too.
