classical music is not for everyone. It newer was the art of the masses, never it will be, and never it was intended to be. That 95% of teenagers (as well as adults) don't care about classical music is not today's unfortunate tendency, it has been like this all the time.The focus audience is the remaining 5%. I am prety sure that this level will remain stable in the forseeable future, without any proselyting effort. Moreover,trying to affect things that occur naturally is like trying to influence the course of change of day and night.
Boomers? This is a local phenomenon of no significance to classical music, which is a world affair. BTW, a typical boomer prefers classic rock and classic cars of all things classic.
