Another Conductor Stops Concert, This Time For Crying Baby
At a Dayton Philharmonic concert earlier this month, during the long flute solo that opens Debussy's Prelude to The Afternoon of a Faun, an infant began to wail - and kept going. Once he saw that the musicians were getting distracted, conductor Neal Gittleman "stopped the music, turned to the audience, and asked that the child be removed. Some audience members applauded."
