I agree. A few years ago I attended a performance of Dvorak's 9th in Dolores Park and it was fantastic. People came out in droves, set up picnics, played frisbee, and had a great time. We need more like that: more clapping, more cheering, more t-shirts and sneakers — none of this stuffy suit-and-tie nonsense. Take a page from jazz, rock, or — really — any other form of popular music. There's certainly room for more focused, intense music appreciation, but that shouldn't be the default; most people don't engage with music like that.
