playing in a symphonic orchestra. sure, it sounds cool, but most people don't know much about the topic and feel intimidated by it, so the conversation is just me attempting to convince them that it's not just for rich nerds and you can be casual about classical music.
Whats not to enjoy about some complex well played music. I enjoyed my classical music history class in college and didn't (solely) take it for the credits.
You need a bit of knowledge to get the most out of a complex music, which sounds intimidating.
Or you can just go to the concert blind and take in all the emotions, but people don't know that's a perfectly valid way to enjoy classical music. (It is! go to the concerts and don't be afraid to have an opinion)
