Classical music in Britain is a minority interest. Few classical musicians be-
come well-known to the general public. Despite the low profile, thousands of Brit-
ish people are dedicated musicians and many public libraries have a well-stocked
music section. Several British orchestras, soloists, singers, choirs, opera companies
and ballet companies, and also certain annual musical events, have international
reputations.
