Mark has been criticized by lesser intellects for his bold activities, but it is undeniable that behind Mark’s antics is a true concern for the arts and a deep love for music. I cannot overstate how important this love is when attempting to transform or criticize the nature of art. Currently there is a lot of talk about how to improve classical music to better reflect modernity, and the sinner’s and catholic school children mea culpas in vogue are more often than not repulsive and useless. Most people joining these conversations seem to be dishonest actors. We need to fine-tune our senses to distinguish between the people seeking change because they want to preserve things, and those who simply critique to destroy. Mark of course belongs to this first group.
