| Re: Modern Music
Charlie,
The concert hall and a museum are totally different environments in other ways as well. One can duck in/duck out of a museum (I used to visit London's National Gallery every time I was near Trafalger Square, often only to spend 5 minutes in front of a favo(u)rite Turner and sometimes just to get out of the rain). You can wander between galleries at your own pace, leave, and come back. You can choose only to visit old friends in the collection. Try that at Avery Fisher Hall or the Village Vanguard.
That said, I love art that "comes right at you". It's one of the reasons I prefer the theater and live concerts to television and CDs.
Let's develop this idea...
