Speaker Brown, Stephen
Date CreatedSeptember 19, 1990
Description

Brown speaks about the state of "classical" music in 1990. He worries about the decreasing size of audiences and analyzing why this is happening. He blames pop art and entertainment as diverting the public's attention from the serious arts. He calls for classical music to become a communication/connection to the audience and not just an expression of emotion.
