Saturday Class - Classical Music to Strengthen the Mind and Soul of America - March 7, 2026
The globalists didn't just attack our economy and sovereignty — they waged a centuries-long war on our culture. Toni Sellars and Mindy Pechenuk trace the battle for classical music from Brahms to the boardrooms of Wall Street.
Why does Promethean Action keep bringing culture into politics?
Because the destruction of classical music in America wasn't an accident — it was a project. And understanding that project is essential to reversing it.
In this week's class — the second in a series on classical music — Toni Sellars walks through the science of the human singing voice and the principles of Bel Canto, showing how the natural registers of the voice are the foundation of all great music. Every human being who can talk can learn to sing — and that capacity is itself a political statement about what it means to be human.
Mindy Pechenuk then takes viewers on a sweeping journey through the 19th and 20th century battle over music's soul — and America's.
On one side: Johannes Brahms, who steeped himself in Bach every morning, championed the nation-state, and sent his protégé Dvořák to America to compose the New World Symphony.
On the other: Richard Wagner and Franz Liszt — tools of the European oligarchy who promoted dissonance for its own sake, escapist fantasy, and sense-worship over reason. Wagner was literally a participant in the violent anarchist uprisings of 1848. Liszt wrote eulogies to Napoleon III.
The story doesn't end in Europe. Mindy traces how Liszt's networks — through the Damrosch family — planted themselves in New York and laid the groundwork for the "New American Music" project: a Wall Street– and British-financed operation, run through the Fontainebleau Conservatory in France, designed to strip classical principles from American musical training.
The Rockefellers, Vanderbilts, Fricks, and Astors bankrolled it. Nadia Boulanger ran it. Nearly every prominent 20th-century American composer came through her salon.
The result? Generations of Americans cut off from the music that builds beautiful souls — and children today who can't even read the words in a choral score.
But Mindy ends on a note of profound optimism. President Trump has brought beauty back to the White House — from classical performances at the Governor's Dinner to his executive order restoring beautiful architecture. Melania Trump, in her opening address as president of the UN Security Council, declared that a nation which makes learning sacred protects its future.
