Today, in order to attract young audiences all efforts are oriented in the same direction: to show you that classical music is not boring nor rigid, and that you, too, are likely to appreciate it. Shortened concerts, lunchtime concerts, concert programs with two doses of film music for one of classical, standardization of programs so the audience does not feel “lost”, and so on.
Well, I’m telling you, this is all wrong: classical music is not cool.

In a previous post I talked about concert halls in Prague. I insisted on the necessity of building a modern infrastructure in the Czech capital city. Well, this modern infrastructure won’t be built in Prague, but in the South Bohemian main city of České Budějovice (95000 inhabitants).

A question raises in Prague: Is it necessary to build a large concert hall in Prague? The musicians want it, the directors of Prague spring too. But is this useful? Is this “reasonable” as say the politicians?
