There are no benefactors in Canada because there is no incentive.

For many years, the government of Canada has massively supported orchestras and the arts in general.

Ergo, because of the money problem, it is probable that our orchestras will soon go down in quality.

Music is art, art is life, and we are who we are, and all of these aforementioned women, unless they should choose not to, will be performing well into the next many decades because they are great artists.

And apparently things like a Vindaloo curry are out for the rest of my life, or at least a long time.

Normally, the same strange impulse which brings a crowd to an accident is present in the reaction to a concert in which something goes wrong.
