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.
To: Sopater
Repercussions. Orchestra.
Clever.

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

I understand the trumpeters disgust, but that was the wrong time to express his disagreement with the entertainer. Wrong is a moral judgment. For Manny it was the right time and he will face the consequences, e.g., loss of pay, lack of gigs, etc. I applaud him for his principled stance and courage.
We had a few people in our history who expressed their disagreement at the "wrong time" who stated, "we mutually pledge to each other our Lives, our Fortunes, and our sacred Honor." Many of them lost their lives and fortunes, but they retained their honor.

Absolutely, because we really just don't have enough people who are willing to swallow their pride, compromise their principles, and just sit down and shut up so as to protect their jobs or their livelihoods. Well said.

Well some of them married Americans, like my wife did.

Yet in Minnesota, politics is everything, especially left wing politics. So he will be fired. He would be welcome in Texas.
