So basically no one from a rural area and no black people?
Anyway. Affinity to classical music (or classical poetry, for that matter) comes not from cultural background, but from a certain level of intellectual sophistication. I don't buy the thesis that some people are born into an oppressed class and can't escape it. In our age education is easily accessible to anyone who has internet. One can learn any language for free, become a developer or a musician or a photographer, all it takes is some will to make yourself learn some marketable skills.
Of course, now you'll likely say that some people are oppressed and conditioned to be unable to escape their caste, but it's just nonsense.
How does this match with the economist that determined that climbing out of poverty requires 20 years of nothing going wrong on average? [0][1]

I recommend to read "Distinction : A Social Critique of the Judgement of Taste" by Pierre Bourdieu.
You see, very few people these days are taught to like Beethoven, most just find him on his own. That is a sign of a capability to think independently, which comes from higher intelligence.
If not, then it is exactly as I pointed out before: the bar is much higher if you come from the 'wrong' cultural background.
