    People pay to see and enjoy listening to a symphony, not listen to political opinion.

    I guess you don’t attend classic concerts often? It is very standard for conductors or soloists to introduce modern pieces and discuss their sociopolitical relevance. I literally just went to one the other week where the director of The King’s College Cambridge Choir introduced a piece about the massacre, dispossession and forced assimilation of Indigenous Australians.
