    People Are Talking: UMS presents Chicago Symphony Orchestra:

  • Sorry to be “that guy” but I’ll probably remember the stunning inability of the people to my left and right to refrain from pulling out their phones (in the third row from the stage) and taking pictures of the conductor and orchestra in the middle of the performance. Not just one of them, but both. I’ll also remember the people directly behind me who had some nicely audible conversations in a foreign language while the performance was underway. I’m not sure why I upgraded to an $80+ ticket when I could have just got student tickets for the same experience. I guess I can’t blame anyone but the offending patrons, but the experience was pretty frustrating and disappointing.
