Someone sent me this youtube. It’s an attractive
attempt to show Bach's music as relevant to the modern world. Notice, they
didn’t have the heat in the church up and the musicians all dressed for the
cold. The singer, a counter-tenor, is singing
in Lancaster's, Ware Center, Dec. 5, after a concert in Atlants and before a show in New York. Art music (or classical music) is
losing market share and some people attribute that to the tuxedo/gown dress and
hierarchical conventions which often go with it which make it seem stuffy. Yo-yo Ma is an example of someone trying to
integrate into contemporary life styles.
