Sure, there are orchestras that are closing down, but there are also a lot that are thriving (mostly in big cities). Are there really a lot of people who want to be able to go to an orchestra performance but are not able to because there isn't enough supply?
There is the issue of location (i.e. you have to live in or near a big city to be able to go to an orchestra), but that is a consequence of the physical world (you need to be close to something to visit it, and for niche things like an orchestra, there will only be enough people to support it in a big city). This isn't the case on the internet - if your worldwide market is small, you can still reach them wherever they are.
