I would argue that the financial position of many classical institutions and recording labels and the sustainability of their business models call into question whether classical music is "going strong". But the thing that's always bugged me is the fact that the music could have so much more impact if the culture and approach surrounding it was different, so many people could benefit from it if they weren't put off by the snobbery and the close-mindedness.
As for my capitalisations, I have a habit of randomly adding them in here or there, I think it's my subconscious trying to add emphasis but I know it's kind of dumb.
