Yannick to audience: Keep politics out of my concerts
mainThe conductor’s closing remarks to the Brussels audience, after a pro-Palestinian disruption last night:
Les musiciens ne sont pas des hommes et des femmes des mots mais des notes et de la paix, l’expression d’une opinion politique n’avait pas sa place ici ce soir.
Musicians are not men and women of words, but of notes and peace. The expression of a political opinion had no place here tonight.
That’s telling ’em.
