Several audeience members have told us that US vice-president JD Vance and his wife Usha were booed as they took seats last night at a National Symphony Orchestra concert at the Kennedy Center.
One person cried out ‘you ruined this place!’, referring to President Trump’s takeover of the Center.
The orchestra went on to perform Shostakovich’s first violin concerto, with Leonidas Kavakos as soloist and Stravinsky’s Petrushka.
The audience response, at a classical concert in the nation’s capital, appears to be without precedent.
Trump has made it clear he ‘never goes’ to Ken Cen.
