Ask any business expert to take a look at the classical music 'business model', and they will fall about laughing. With cost disease endemic to the live performance model, and record labels and music publishers complaining of falling profits, who's making the money? In this interactive session we will ask the question, "is Baumol's Disease terminal or curable", and help delegates find the answer. Following Mark Pemberton and Claire Mera-Nelson's lively session last year, expect fireworks once again!
