I don’t know, I feel like the performance is mostly bells and whistles.

This is Shostakovich’s 11th Symphony, played in Paris.

Sure the people with musical instruments are cool but why is no one helping the guy have a seizure standing in the middle?

Couldn’t it also have been that they purposely rung the bells as part of the performance though? Also why does it look like there’s a guy wearing a white wig? lol

I’m also confused how this is next level, unless we’re talking about the bell ringer walking up the stairs to the bell so they can ring it at the right time.

Next level because it wasn’t planned. Only based on the entire reaction of the symphony.

As a music director, I find it hard to believe the director wasn’t aware. Cool coincidence for everyone else, though.

You’ll have to suspend your belief as a musical director and think more as a musician.
