- MentatOnMelange 1y agoWhen I see stuff like this, I think about how there are people for whom seeing the symphony is a big deal and a special event... and end up having to endure someone who's spent more than their yearly salary in order to fulfill some childhood fantasy. He could easily have paid for this to happen during rehersal time or paying the musicians overtime to operate on the off hours. The fact he did it during a performance people paid to see is disrespectful to the audience and the musicians.
