How do you bridge the gap between the two different music styles?

"Classical music and electronica seem so far apart to us, but, in fact, they have surprising and beautiful confluences. Both explore non-lyric-based textures and rich sonorities, and both have intricate rhythms and harmonies (far more so than in, say, rock). So, bridging the gap between the two worlds is not as impossible as it may seem."

The gorgeous theater in Orchestra Hall can hold a total of 2,522 spectators.
