Now that so many folks have quite smoking, at least in the classical music set, I guess we have to go with the times.
I thought it was kind of funny! Might have been the oldest audience I've ever seen at Davies. Real terror entering the men's room at intermission as the line was moving SLOW!
Not as bad as Flint Center for the Peninsula Symphony, where the buses from the retirement communities line the streets for what seems like miles before and after concerts, but pretty bad.
There was one passage with a few high loud piano notes that seemed to kick off the feedback on one poor guy hearing aid. Every time Yuja hit the set of notes the hearing aid would reply! This guy was up in the cheap seats with me but it was so loud I know she must have heard it.
Haven't read the reviews yet but hopefully Yuja and MTT got locked into things for last weekends concerts.
First they came for the dumb-asses
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a dumb-ass
