Carol and Cullan, any thoughts on the future of classical music in the US, given the current administration's attitude and actions? E.g., the takeover of Kennedy Center (an event which has resulted in a 50% decrease in ticket sales).

The 3rd great question of the night. I don't even know where to begin. The Kennedy Center is one thing...the National Endowment for the Arts is seeing changes. It's all concerning. The best I can say is to support everything you love in whatever capacity you have because it might be gone tomorrow.

But nothing beats Chopin on piano by real pianists...
