food for thought: composer v. orchestra

This is making its way through composer circles around the country (thanks, Jocelyn) so I thought I might link it here. You be the judge because I really don't know what to make of this other than the fact that it seems utterly ridiculous. Here's the first paragraph:

"A composer is suing the Brooklyn Philharmonic for abruptly cutting short his environmentally themed symphony in mid-performance at a concert almost five years ago — a show that left the songsmith fuming and critics appalled."

Read the rest. It's a fairly short article and I can't even imagine how I would feel if this had happened to me.
