Demos and seminars are being held in Stockholm today about what one newspaper headlines as an ‘Emergency to act against the marginalization of classical music’.

Music tuition is being cut in multicultural schools where students and their parents reject western civilisation and values. Fewer than 30 percent of Stockholm school pupils show an interest in learning to play an instrument.

The nation’s deep music traditions have fallen off the city’s agenda.

UPDATE: Composer attacks Swedish concert hall.
