I agree with Lelia, although her post was so long I didn't copy it!

I hate the FORMAL concert atmosphere. The audience as well dressed prisoners
in their little chairs.

Music should be felt, appreciated, raved about.

Little robots in their little chairs can't do this.

Same for the artist, who can't announce their own piece, or acknowledge their
audience.

Throw out the invisible curtain! Entertain, Explain, Talk, Demonstrate, Take
questions. Make it FUN again.

We all moan about the vanishing audience for serious music. Is it maybe
because we're BORING??????
