Classical music needs it's version of the jazz club where the music is part of a larger experience, which would include interacting with the musicians. Bravo. Let's hope this idea spreads.Hucbaldhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17345423651965577290noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8060605.post-1137385694518336352006-01-16T04:28:14.520Z2006-01-16T04:28:14.520ZI've had this idea for a few years.

Where people are less isolated... in a traditional concert the only relevant relationship is performer-audience. Here you are breaking that down and facilitating audience-audience interaction. Plus the alcohol helps a lot.Colin Hartnetthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05440052471907646537noreply@blogger.com
