In the world of "classical" music, the trend towards an increasingly historical repertoire and older audience has worsened continuously in recent decades. This book grapples with "How can we bring a new audience to contemporary art?" and challenges both the creators and their audience to broaden their ideas about what is valuable and lasting in today's culture.
