How to Ruin a Classical Music Concert

Thursday November 13, 2008
Now that we're into the thick of the classical music concert season, I thought it would be a good time to bring back this fun article. My hope is that it reminds us all how to really behave during a concert. Please everyone, lets all be kind and courteous to those around us. After all, they paid just as much as you did to see the performance.

Lead the applause with mighty bravo/brava BEFORE the last few notes fade to impress upon your fellow concert goers that you alone know the selection is coming to a close.
