Szekely explains that classical music is not as popular in the twenty-first century as in previous times because it is erroneously perceived to be elitist. Classical music since the mid-1800s was intended for and much appreciated by the masses, when musicians had rock star status. It is Szekely’s mission to keep the classical genres developing by enhancing the repertoire and exposing new generations of music lovers to its unique magic.
