Ten Things to Love about Brass Playing
I just discovered Tine Thing Helseth's brass ensemble called tenThing. I'm thrilled that these Norwegian women are taking the brass world by storm, making it clear, once and for all, that gender isn't any kind of barrier for any instrument. It is simply remarkable how beautifully brass instruments can be played.

Their website says, "Sorry, there are no upcoming concerts right now." One wonders about the market for the group that there are no concerts upcoming.
The "market" for music is just like other markets, and the dearth of upcoming concerts a group has (or does not have, I suppose I should say) does not reflect anything about the group's quality. It reflects the economic state of the arts.
No critique of the art of these brass players was intended. The real and central question remains what can we do about the economic state of the arts, if anything?
