In 2014 Andrew Balio founded the Future Symphony Institute as the first think tank for classical music as a response to what many were calling a crisis for orchestras around the world. In this talk, we will look at our present crisis and how classical music has been fought over as an index of culture, beauty and excellence. Unless we address our culture’s relationship to high-art music, we risk failing to understand what is beautiful and valuable in all aspects of life.
