Give classical music the respect it deserves

Perhaps one of the best things about this season is that the city plays host to a number of classical Indian music concerts, both outdoors and indoors, with the country’s top artistes playing for aficionados and those wet-behind-the-ears about classical music, alike. Today, too, the Nehru auditorium in Worli plays host to a music fest which is returning to the city after 32 years.

It is a revival worth applauding, given that culture is really the lifeblood of  a city. With the audience comprising a spectrum of people, one naturally sees people who behave in different ways. One has to keep in mind that artistes need to be respected. Do not enter the auditorium late; some venues actually disallow it but even if you have to attend an event at a venue that does allow it, avoid doing that. It means an interruption in performance and break in concentration for the artiste. Using your cell phone shows gross disrespect. Even sending messages, clicking madly, and shining your cell phone screen light while doing so are a complete no-no. Today, the selfie craze, too, has made people camera- crazy. While a slice of musical immortality is to be appreciated, be aware of where and when you are clicking a selfie.
