For most of its history, Western classical music has relied on monarchs, aristocrats, and wealthy patrons to even exist. For example, we have Haydn because of a prince, Mozart and Beethoven because of a baron, and Stravinsky and Copland because of an heiress. And while the kings and barons have been replaced by trusts and philanthropists, inequality is still at play in classical music - Rachel Sherman, Professor and Chair of Sociology at The New School delves deeper into this topic in our February salon.
