Leading scientist ejected by audience after 'trying to crowd surf' at classical music concert

Scientist is thrown out of "accessible and informal" classical concert by fellow audience members after attempting to crowd-surf

Bristol Old Vic

A leading scientist was ejected by fellow audience members during a performance of Handel’s Messiah after he took the director’s invitation to “clap and whoop” to the music a step too far by attempting to crowd-surf.

Tom Morris, artistic director of the Bristol Old Vic, encouraged the audience to respond with enthusiasm to the music but accepted that Dr David Glowacki had “got very over-excited”.
