Jay-Z and the voice of Rihanna opened Super Bowl XLIV with a remix of “Run This Town” featuring The Rutgers Symphony Orchestra under the baton of Kynan Johns (read up on that here<\/a>). The tweet lines immediately lit up with reviews of “dope” and “sick.” <\/p>\n

So seriously, kind of America’s truest orchestral music in 2010 if we’re going to get all genre merged and democratic about it, right? All the way down to the high drama, fireworks spectacle, and pulse-manipulating production values…you know, orchestra music. Enjoy it or hate it, in light of that big, scary, plummeting audience graph, it’s worth being conversant about, me thinks. <\/p>\n
