For classical music:
If you have access to a venue where classical music is played (most big cities have a philarmonic), don't even worry about what is being played - just buy a ticket and go. Listening to classical music performed live can be extremely riveting or extremely boring - you'll find out if you like it or not quite fast. Either way it's a good experience to have, if you have never done it before. Once you know if you want to go deeper into that, read up on each piece, how the parts were arranged, etc - the more you know about it, the more you might enjoy it.

Good suggestion! Going to a classical music concert is quite the experience! Don't go there to game cause you'll be surrounded by older people

BUT... There's one "problem"... Most Classical music venues (even Classical music radios) program very safely and don't dare to take on lesser known pieces... It's almost always the same stuff... Beethoven, Chopin, Brahms etc

I'm really into avant-garde/modern orchestral music (Xenakis, George Crumb, John Cage etc)... I can count the times they've programmed such works in the local venue the last ten years on one hand. Such a shame.

Anyway... Music is quite the rabbit hole so don't get lost
