So many in this thread have lamented the (suppposed) lack of a mass musically educated audience for classical music, but it's clear that such an audience does exist on college campuses everywhere, consisting of student musicians, graduate musicians, student composers, graduate composers, faculty, visiting artists, and music lovers. This represents one of the most vibrant musical communities that I have come across and this community exists in virtually every town on every continent.New music is being commissioned and performed on college campuses everywhere. Academia has provided fertile ground for the growth and development of classical music. Academia is responsible for the creation of the mass audience (for classical) that has now developed in China (and many other countries).
