Quote:The composer of the travesty was Adam Schoenberg.
Yes, the conductor spoke to the audience and said Schoenberg was a friend of his and lived in LA and this was the 40th performance of the work which after I heard it I found it hard to believe. Playing it once could be a mistake...but 39 times? No, that is a deliberate affront to the tastes of musical audiences.
Maestro Munoz did say that the Schoenbergs just had a baby and that was why he was not in attendance. Again, after hearing it it I hope he has a job as a waiter or something otherwise the kid will starve to death. He has no future as a composer.
Munoz also threatened that he was committed to bringing new "music" to the programs at which my wife and I looked at each other and confirmed our decision to drop our season subscription. Can't take too much of that fucking shit.
