Re: Dutch Orchestra Walks Out

A very quick Google search for this incident turns up dozens of articles, most very brief and none (within the first three pages of hits I got) appearing in a major news source. The orchestra is never named and there is no unanimity on whether the man was the conductor of the orchestra, the guest conductor of the concert or an intruder who came up on the stage only to deliver his lecture/invitation to the queen.

One version of the event says the orchestra left the stage on instructions from security personnel who feared the incident might have been a prelude to a terrorist bombing. According to that version, the concert resumed after the building had been swept for explosives and found to be safe.

FWIW, Queen Beatrix abdicated the Dutch throne in favor of her son in April 2013.
