Just in: US concert is disrupted by Michael Brown protest
mainSaturday night’s concert of the St Louis Symphony Orchestra was targeted by protesters against the police killing of a young black man in Missouri.
Two audience members in the middle aisle on the main floor began singing an old civil rights tune, “Which Side are You on?” They soon were joined, in harmony, by other protesters, who stood at seats in various locations on the main floor and in the balcony.
They were applauded by some members of the audience, and of the orchestra. The protest was peaceful and brief.
