Audience Etiquette at a Open Classical Music Concert Overseas Becomes a Talking Point on Public Manners!?!

A clever way of stopping this distraction without making a scene.♪

At an open classical music concert overseas, attention focused on a man who continued to talk on his mobile phone during the performance.

One of performers notices the man talking on his mobile phone and approaches the man while continuing to play his instrument!

The musician plays his violin very close to the ear of man but there is no reaction and the continues to talk on the phone! (LOL)
Then, the other musicians move and gather around the caller to cause him to stop using his mobile phone while they are playing!

Finally, the caller becomes aware of the situation and appears to stop his phone conversation as the musicians continue their concert right next to the man.
At last, the performers returned to their original location and continued to play.

Since this was an open concert held in a public space, audience etiquette is less clear than if the concert was held at a more formal location such as a concert hall. Perhaps, the man was unaware of this and continued his conversation on the phone.

However, the musician who took offence at the man’s behaviour felt that “enjoying pure music without distractions” for both the musicians and the other people politely listening to the music of the concert acted properly.
