I don't understand how it couldn't be relevant.
All great art... whether it's painting, music, or whatever, is able to stand the test of time. Its ability to provoke thought and emotion within the viewer or listener is what is important (not the time period). Whether it's Leonardo da Vinci and Mark Rotho, or Johann Sebastian Bach and Edgard Varese, time itself is irrelevant in the relevance of truly great art just so long as it can connect with the audience in some significant way.
People are still (easily) able to connect with and enjoy classical music in contemporary society. So, how could it not be relevant?
