The latest Nuit Debout – Up All Night – protest in Paris involved a performance by 300 musicians of Dvorak’s New World Symphony on Wednesday night in the Place de la Republique. Most of the players were amateur. The performance is rather good.

    Pity that Dvorak is not around any more, so that he could forbid the misuse of his music for promoting communist causes. On the other hand, at least he didn’t have to watch Czech communists destroying Czechia for 40 years.
