Cultural Differences
The Israeli Andalusian Orchestra of Ashdod continues to be once of our favorites. Last night's concert reminded us of cultural differences between this orchestra's audience and the audiences at the Etnakhta concerts.
The audience claps along in the rhythm of some of the pieces. They sing along with vocalists. This all adds to the already considerable energy. At the end of each piece, and at concert's end, there's no feeling that you ought to go on applauding until the soloist leaves the stage. They stop applauding and, usually, the soloist walks off as the other musicians gather their instruments and follow.
The audience at last night's concert loved Raymonde Abecassis (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=75VZQAm1YXQ ). At the end, she stayed on stage, talking to members of the crowd.
