Musical elitism is a vast topic that touches on class, gatekeeping, education, snobbery, wealth, privilege, aspiration, historical legacy and popular culture. In this video I take a broad look at all of these.

Really interesting look at elitism in music from Tantacrul, who is a classical composer (among other things). I think it's good as a POV from somebody with an inside view of the classical music scene, although he's a bit more gentle than I might like, and unfortunately he doesn't specifically address the recent shitstorm around the Grammy nominations in the Contemporary Classical category of Curtis Stewart and Jon Batiste which @alyaza posted here a few days ago.
