Didn't know where to put this but...

“Classical music is surrounded by the misconception that it’s irrelevant, sterile and inaccessible. What many people don’t realise is there is an authentic modern-day narrative to accompany classical music which is really connecting with people.”

If I had to give a statement about something and wanted to give the impression it was irrelevant, sterile and inaccessible, I'd probably say something about "authentic modern-day narratives".

“Our research shows film screenings, experiential events such as Secret Cinema and themed performances such as Pete Tong Ibiza Classics are key drivers in exposing under-44s to classical music,”

Oh dear.

under-44s

Curious threshold.
There's some pretty rad modern opera about, that seems to have engaging modern day narratives. I find it a bit challenging, aurally, but I'll readily admit my tastes are rather MoR.
