Of course, you are entitled to your opinions about whether or not these are "dark times" for orchestras. We could debate that topic quite a bit but, from reading your statements, I'm not convinced that you're all that aware of the financial situations that are prevalent in most orchestras in this country (US).

I will however take exception when you refer to orchestras as "elitist organizations". That characterization is as far off the mark as I can imagine. Perhaps it is a recent lack of proper music education that has perpetuated the myth the orchestras are in any way elitist. Any properly educated person knows differently.

My opinion for what it's worth...
