I respectfully disagree. Though choreographed, the idea was to visually clue you in to (or rather, augment) what parts were dominant and/or which players were playing figures together.

I recall there are similar presentations by a group from the Netherlands (?) playing in various museum settings.

Why can't performance presentations be fun? The alternative is to have a percentage of your audience fall asleep or worse yet, not even show up.

Lately I have been helping stage performances for major pop concerts. You wouldn't catch Justin Bieber or John Mayer just standing still in the middle of a stark stage for an hour and a half...........not at those ticket prices. And ironically if they did try that, NONE of you would go the next time (though it would save them a LOT of money).
