The concertgoer who was asked to leave her seat at a New World Symphony concert by conductor Michael Tilson Thomas has given her version of events to Larry Johnson, who first reported the incident in South Florida Classical Review.

Her perspective, needless to say, differs markedly from the maestro’s. She’s unhappy that he has not contacted her since to apologise.

Speaking under condition of anonymity, she recalled: â€˜He actually said, ‘You’re disturbing me. Can you move to the side?’  But we weren’t doing anything…. My child was not fidgeting… No iPad. No phone out.

There’s more here. Much more. This incident has not been handled well.
