Hey travelpleasure, I've been part of the classical world for a good portion of my life (almost got my Ph.D in musicology, in fact, although that's another story) so it's nice to see people in that area take interest in it, too. I have classical performance/composition training, but have decided to focus on improvisation as my vehicle of expression so I'm kind of out of the norm there. :)

As you probably already know, the classical music world tends to be very risk adverse when it comes to technology, and that is a good reason why the medium is struggling for survival and relevance right now. I do understand the resistance on their part a bit, especially since recent efforts made by music startups I can't really say have been really all that effective up until this point. If a few classical musicians become brave enough to take the leap into crypto, though, it could be a very good thing for the style because not too many people have quite taken the plunge yet.

Can you imagine an orchestra with 50+ people splitting its earnings all the way down to the 3rd chair violist sitting somewhere in the middle? Give everyone a stake in the process, and you'll get better, more engaged performances from that alone, imo.
