People Are Talking: UMS presents Ustad Amjad Ali Khan at Hill Auditorium:
We were 10 minutes late to the performance and were not allowed to sit in our main-floor seats. The ushers were rude, arrogant and insensitive. They made my 82-year-old father go upstairs to the Mezzanine level. They said it was “the artist’s request” that no one should be seated on the main floor after 8:00. As to the performance itself, Amjad Ali Khan played well in the first half of the program, particularly his tribute to Rabindranath Tagore. Unfortunately, his sons are not impressive at all. The second half was truly awful in some parts and disappointing overall. I will not pay to see another show at Hill until the ushers are taught to treat their customers with respect.
