My interest in classical music started with getting student rush tickets at my local orchestra. From the first concert, I was hooked. I also agree with prior posters about listening to either FM or Internet classical radio (and some cable TV providers have classical music channels). In addition, there are a number of books, including the Penguin and NPR classical music guide. Also, take a look at the archives in Audiogon about various recommendations for certain composers or particular works.
Also, another consideration is listening to streaming music from Pandora or Magnatune, and seeing what you like.
Enjoy!
