Symphony is tweet music to their ears
By: Jannelle Gelfand
The lights dim, the orchestra tunes and the audience is told to “please turn off your cellphones.”
Except in the “TweetSeats” at Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra concerts in Music Hall. That’s where iPhones, Blackberries and tablets light up and concertgoers start tweeting live along with the music.
“Tweeting the CSO’s performance was like attending a members-only social event in the midst of a traditionally formal setting,” said tweeter Jennifer Nissenbaum, 35, of Dayton. “I could communicate openly about my reactions to the music, musicians and conductor — without speaking a word. Plus, I had the opportunity to engage others and get their reactions to the performance.”
The idea of attending a classical concert might seem intimidating to generations of Americans who have grown up with little exposure to such music. But they can now use a hashtag — #CinSym — to help them understand what classical music is all about.
