Orchestras, in recent years, have faced considerable challenges. For example, they lack the financial and moral patronage that they enjoyed in the early 20th century. Critiques of music have participated in the debate concerning the ways of improving the prospects of classical music in the country. Orchestras need to adapt to the changing times to achieve success in the long term. The author laments that orchestras experienced a decline due to various factors. A few classical music companies have applied for bankruptcy status. Many other musical groups are functioning despite financial losses. One may accept the argument of the author that classical music companies are facing a major crisis, but it is not possible to accept the argument that orchestra companies should not modify their music. The article suggests that the recent financial crisis has been responsible for the debacle of orchestra companies (Kennicott). They have failed to introduce changes in their organizational structure.

Classical music has survived in other countries. For example, Asian and African countries have preserved the tradition of classical music. American musicians need to study their counterparts in other nations to learn the ways of protecting classical music. The use of new musical instruments, for instance, may attract the younger generation to this genre of music. Dare is justified when he stated that totalitarianism has been a major feature of orchestras in the country. Totalitarianism can be defined as the unquestionable domination of the leader over the follower. Classical music represents totalitarianism because it does not encourage change. It appealed to a section of the population in the 1930s. It is not correct to expect that people would appreciate classical music in the 21st century. Dare showed the need for orchestra musicians to alter their attitude towards music. Kennicott attempts to justify the totali
