Overview
Hi! I am a second year Masters in Composition student at Longy School of Music participating in a class known as "The Future of Classical Music". We are currently endeavoring to create a Wikipedia page on this subject, and a list of participants can be found on our central page. This project is just getting off the ground, so check back frequently for new updates as the year progresses!
Contributions
This is a short list at the moment, but I hope to become more involved as I learn more about the inner workings of Wikipedia.

Links
There are going to be quite a few of these on my page, so I decided to create a category for them. My New York Times links now have their own section!
Greg Sandow is a name that will be brought up in any conversation concerning the future of classical music. He has placed himself at the forefront of this issue and is utilizing technology to get his messages across. His website contains a blog, in which he comments on current classical music news and events, and a link to his online book performance. Over the past two years, Sandow has posted sections of his book online and made it open to public comments and opinions. I strongly encourage you to visit his site and explore!
I was very excited to find this [www.artsjournal.com online journal] devoted entirely to the arts! You can get specific background information here, but all you need to know is that its collection of articles is both comprehensive and free. I have yet to explore this site in depth, but I did stumble upon an interesting article about the death of classical music (date of publishing unknown). It is incredibly comprehensive, citing facts and figures from various articles with all the relevant links to back them up. I encourage you to read this, and try out some of the links!
For those of you who enjoy video, here is a movie of John Rockwell, senior cultural correspondent for The New York Times, speaking on the future of classical music. It's about 45 min. long, so I haven't actually listened to it yet, but it intrigued me enough to post it here.
News From the Front
The New York Times Music section has many interesting articles and reviews. To understand what is in store for the future of classical music, it is imperative that we know what is happening in the world today. Since I am a student of composition, the following articles will be tailored to current composers, reviews of their music, and other related events. However, I'm also keeping my eye out for anything resembling our topic: the future of classical music.
Alfred Schnittke's final Symphony, No. 9, is finally complete. He finished all three movements in short score before his death in 1998, but never fully orchestrated it due to a series of strokes paralyzing his right side. Find out why the Juilliard School took it upon themselves to orchestrate and premiere this piece.
Not long ago, I linked to an article discussing the recent marketing trends in popular bands, be they rock, pop, country, etc. This is another example of how the market is changing the way music is viewed, but in this instance the sales charts are affected. Find out why everyone was so suprised that the Eagles' new album is on the sales charts, let alone at the top.
The final link for this week is a movie review. “Note by Note: The Making of Steinway L1037” is a documentary-style film that follows the production of a handmade 9-ft. Steinway & Sons grand piano. There are also numerous appearances of various artists playing these instruments.
The plan is to update this every week. The old articles will be archived at the end of this section without my summaries for one month and then deleted. If you find a relevant article, feel free to post it!
