[TPIN] The Future of Classical Music

[Dave Scott]

With interest waning in North America it seems as if music has a new
horizon.  Actually, this has been happening for years with 1st generation
Chinese immigrants in Canada.  There are a disproportionate number of good
musicians of Chinese descent, something about a work ethic I think.  There
is trumpet content here, if you read the end of the article they mention the
poor quality of Chinese brass instruments, they must be using  Parrot Brand.
Maybe after classical music, jazz music will become big?  Why not organize a
concert tour to China, it looks like there would be no trouble getting a big
audience.
