Do you listen to classical music at all? I think it is kind of funny that a shopping center in australia play it in order to stop teens from loitering. That is one way to do it.
gpt
I do not really.  However this music does span across many eras.  This also refers to the period from 1750-1820.
human
*smiles* Cities are also using classical music in public places to deter crime. It has been shown to really make a difference!
gpt
*laughs* I believe this study showed that it resulted in 33% fewer robberies, 25 fewer assaults on staff and 37% less vandalism.
human
Yep! That sounds about right. Pretty impressive stats! Do you go to concerts?
gpt
*body relaxes* I try to go to a few each year.  I prefer them to be in sports stadiums but outside concerts are nice when the weather is nice.
human
I like going to outside concerts. I am amazed at how much some of these bands tour. Linkin Park played in 324 concerts in 2001 alone!
gpt
*smiles* That is impressive.  In croatia there is an ancient roman amphitheatre that is still in use.
human
*leans forward* Didn't Pink Floyd record a live concert at the ancient roman ampitheater in pompeii with no audience?
gpt
That might be the same one.  I'm sure that was on purpose but some concerts can be terrible like in 2002 with creed.  It was so bad concert goers files a lawsuit against the band.  Have you been to a bad concert before?
human
Unfortunately yes. It makes you mad when you feel like you just gave away money to see a bad show! I am guessing that The Ramones put on a pretty good show...they toured almost nonstop for over 20 years
gpt
*laughs* Well the concert definitely needs to have professional audio equipment or it will be downhill from there.
human
I heard that the New York Philharmonic has a new chief exec, Deborah Borda. They are hoping that she can improve it!
gpt
She already dropped bombshells by replacing directors but the changes were needed due to allegations of sexual abuse.
human
*body relaxes* I know. Sounds like it was long overdue. She has also been credited by turning the Los Angeles Philharmonic into a really creative and financial solvent of American orchestras. Sounds like she will be an asset to NY. 
gpt
Her goal to have $5 tickets is a great idea.  It allows people who might not be able to afford tickets a chance to have exposure to new things and music.
human
That would be awesome to score a $5 ticket! She wants to make sure that the Philharmonic is a vibrant part of the city and the culture of NY. It hasn't been that in decades!
gpt
She is definitely driving change that will allow the Philharmonic to seems more worldly and provide a refreshing aspect to their product.
human
I hope so. Hopefully between her and van Zweden they can make it successful.
gpt
*eyes brighten* I'm sure they will bring classical music with the traditions of western culture back in to the mainstream.
