As an example, Bach has approx. 6 million listeners monthly on Spotify. Who gets those royalties? Are they profit for streaming services? Donated? Given to a trust?

IIRC most classical music is in the public domain. But the recordings of said music is owned by music companies who pay royalties to the orchestra that played the music.
