Why can’t they just do what they are paid to do. If he wants to give political commentary, he should go on a talk show. If I was in the audience, I would have booed.

Minnesota Orchestra principal trumpet Manny Laureano says he hasn't heard from management about any repercussions. There should be no repercussions because the moment that the performer started talking about politics instead of music it became an antagonistic work environment.

I really hate it when a performer in a non-political venue forces a trapped audience to listen to a political rant. It’s obnoxious and unprofessional. I have been subjected to a couple of these and they took me completely out of the performance.

I understand the trumpeter’s disgust, but that was the wrong time to express his disagreement with the entertainer.
The trumpeter should already have known. Wainright has been talking this way in public for many years. Manny may find it more difficult to get work on this level for a while.

Good for you, Manny. It was the best solo of your life.

Repercussions. Orchestra.
Clever.

That’s because the tympani and cymbals were hammered.
And the xylophone was tapped out.

Hooray for Manny Laureano!!
It’s nice to see a man with principles.
Too many are silent while being lectured to by the “elite” who think they know what’s best for us. Imagine if the roles were reversed. How tolerant would liberal performers be about getting a lecture from a conservative?
