Ringtone halts NY Philharmonic performance - Yahoo! News
The loud ringing mobile phone was enough to get conductor Alan Gilbert to halt the New York Philharmonic Orchestra’s performance of Gustav Mahler’s Ninth Symphony. Gilbert turned several times to express his displeasure to the patron, to no avail. So, he halted the performance and would not continue until the offending noise was stopped.
