‘I think the classical industry needs to get out of this obsession with appealing to younger audiences,’ said cellist Sharon Grigoryan.
‘I’ve been in the industry just long enough to remember people talking about how audiences are dwindling, how everyone has grey hair and what happens when they die in 10 years’ time? That was 20 years ago! And yet there are still people coming to concerts,’ said Grigoryan, who recently announced her impending departure from the Australian String Quartet (ASQ) after seven years with the ensemble.
