You seem like a moron tbh. What do you think is more expensive to put on, a classical concert requiring nothing other than chairs or a rock/dance gig with a full backline/production equipment/suitable pa/lights/etc? Which do you think involves more children and more music, the 100+ person orchestra (not including support from younger age groups) or 4-5 bands squeezed onto a gig bill playing 20 mins each?
Not that one rules the other out (I did both orchestral stuff and 'rock school'* as a teen) but to claim that classical music is more expensive and less inclusive than post 1966 music is fucking nonsense.
*Not a school as such, just opportunity to rehearse for free, and share ideas with other bands with the backline equipment provided, one evening a week.
