premiers and new commissions

[MrGongGong]

There is an ever-growing universe of 'classical' music coming into existence with no corresponding expansion in the number of ensembles, orchestras, conductors, classical radio stations, venues and perhaps even liseners to perform and hear it.

Is this true ?
or "received wisdom" ?

(not that I know the answer but was wondering what leads you to this conclusion ?)

There are apparently several tens of millions of piano students in China at the moment which might be part of an answer.
