Fed up with ringing cell phones, Yannick Nézet-Séguin stops Philadelphia Orchestra music mid-concert — twice But it’s not just the orchestra. Disruptive behavior is now a reliable part of the public square. A lot of the bad behavior I’ve observed in concerts isn’t being perpetrated by new audiences or young listeners. I sense we’re just seeing the concert hall manifestation of a pandemic-induced narcissism.

Even the nightly speech Philadelphia Chamber Music Society artistic director Miles Cohen acts out — holding cell phone aloft while turning it off — becomes routine after a while. The practice has surely reduced the incidence of cell phone rings mid-Schubert, but it hasn’t eliminated them.
