Some time ago I suggested our neighborhood institution

This article, though not about it, confirms my suspicion for the ah-pe-RA world. How many third-string singers are there? How can ah-pe-RA revive itself when the conductors are missing, the teachers are missing, and yes, the COMPOSERS are missing? We need high art, but how can we get it when the supports are gone?
