Man arrested in Madrid after throwing his phone at orchestra
mainEl Mundo reports that a man was arrested yesterday after throwing his mobile phone at musicians of the Community of Madrid Orchestra during a concert in the National Auditorium.
The disrupter, 64, has been charged with public order offences. He was said to be drunk.
The concert of the Orquesta de la Comunidad de Madrid was conducted by Emilio Aragón and Victor Pablo Pérez, with pianist Javier Perianes.
No-one was hurt.
Just to be clear for anglophone readers: the Community of Madrid Orchestra isn’t “community” in the sense of an amateur group made up of non-pros who live in the area.
The “Comunidad de Madrid” is the regional government of metro Madrid (long since split off from Castile), and this is its state orchestra. The OCM is also the resident orchestra for the Teatro de la Zarzuela.
