I've got a possibly controversial opinion about standing up at concerts. Last night, I went to see Metallica. Incredible show - way better than I gave them credit for yesterday. But here's what happened. We were in the stands, seated tickets. A few rows ahead, there was this guy who, the second Metallica hit the stage, jumped to his feet. Everyone else stayed seated, but not him. Hands in the air, devil horns flying, head-banging, air guitar, singing every lyric. He was having the best night of his life - and honestly, watching him made the rest of us enjoy it more. Not everyone agreed. People behind him started throwing cans. They hit him in the back; he ignored it. Then a couple of women clambered over seats, smacked him on the back, told him to sit down. He ignored that too. Eventually, a guy from way back stormed down, leaned across rows, got into a shouting match, even tried to physically drag him into his seat. After a few minutes, the head-banger gave in and sat down. But he couldn't help himself. Every time a new song started, he popped back up - horns up, air guitar blazing -before remembering he was “supposed” to sit. This went on until he finally squeezed into the stairwell so he could thrash without blocking anyone's view. You could tell it wasn't the same; cramped space, less freedom. Here's my take: If you're at a concert, you should be able to stand up and have the best time of your life - even if you bought a seated ticket. If someone in front of you stands, sorry, you're going to have to stand too. It's not okay to demand someone sit for the whole show. It's music, not a movie. And it's Metallica, not the Symphony Orchestra. I'm with the metal-head from last night. He paid good money to enjoy himself. If that means horns up, air guitar, and head-banging - let him do it.

Die Musik in der Mitte des 20. Jahrhunderts als ein einziger Wettlauf, wer's am atonalsten und revolutionärsten kann? Das war immer schon ein Trugbild. Die Wahrheit ist weitaus vielfältiger. Zu den großen musikgeschichtlichen Schätzen, die hierzulande noch immer nicht recht gehoben sind, gehört das reiche Werk des britischen Komponisten Ralph Vaughan Williams. Ein neues Album, aufgenommen vom London Symphony Orchestra, ist mal wieder Gelegenheit, in diese sinfonische Welt einzutauchen.

This episode of Side Projects is a little different. THey're all different, if I'm being honest. But this one is…unusual. I welcome two members of the National Symphony Orchestra to the show; principal flute player Aaron Goldman and principal cellist David Teie.  It's a quick hitter so I'll have to have them back on. But we discuss how young they were when  classical music grabbed them. They enlighten me on some of the workings of an orchestra, how auditions are done (it's really fascinating), and David's connection to Metallica. This episode was so much fun to do. I'll be taking my first trip to a performance at the Kennedy Center so they prep me on what to expect, even though they won't be performing (it's for French pianist Alexandre Kantorow).  I encourage everyone to check out kennedy-center.org or @kennedycenter on YouTube or Instagram. And be sure to check out orchestral music wherever you live. You might be surprised at how “metal” it is! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
