Multiple people who attended the the L.A. Philharmonic concert reported hearing a woman letting out a ‘loud full body orgasm’ during Tchaikovsky’s fifth symphony.
An audio clip of the moment- where someone is heard screaming out during a quiet period in the performance – has gone viral on social media.
And the orchestra carries on as normal without missing a single beat following the loud moan.
Magnus Fiennes, a British composer, music producer and brother of actors Ralph and Joseph Fiennes – witnessed the scream during the Los Angeles Philharmonic’s performance and wrote about it on Twitter.
He said: ‘A woman in the audience had loud and full body orgasm during the 5th’s second movement… Band politely carried on.
‘Props to LAPhil (and Pytor Ilyich) for bringing it on….’
And Molly Grant was enjoying the Los Angeles Philharmonic’s performance when she was startled by the loud noise. ‘Everyone kind of turned to see what was happening,’ she told the Los Angeles Times.
‘I saw the girl after it had happened, and I assume that she … had an orgasm because she was heavily breathing, and her partner was smiling and looking at her — like in an effort to not shame her.’
“Everyone kind of turned to see what was happening,” Grant, who was seated near the person who allegedly made the noise, told The Times on Sunday in a phone interview.
“I saw the girl after it had happened, and I assume that she … had an orgasm because she was heavily breathing, and her partner was smiling and looking at her — like in an effort to not shame her,” said Grant, who works for a jewelry company and lives in Los Feliz. “It was quite beautiful.”
Multiple people who attended the L.A. Phil concert on Friday reported hearing a woman making a moaning noise during the symphony’s second movement.
One attendee, composer and music producer Magnus Fiennes, described the sound on Twitter as that of a person having a “loud and full body orgasm.”
Lukas Burton, a Silver Lake resident and music agent, enjoyed the loud scream from the audience member and said it was ‘wonderfully timed’ to a ‘romantic swell’ in the symphony.
He said: ‘One can’t know exactly what happened, but it seemed very clear from the sound that it was an expression of pure physical joy.
‘A sort of classical-music equivalent of that scene in a movie where someone is talking loudly in a party or a nightclub, and then the record suddenly stops and they say something that everyone hears.’
He described the outburst during the orchestra performance as ‘rather wonderful and refreshing’.
Burton added: ‘There was a sort of gasp in the audience. But I think everyone felt that was a rather lovely expression of somebody who was so transported by the music that it had some kind of effect on them physically or, dare I say, even sexually.’
However, others weren’t convinced that the woman had an orgasm. However, people in attendance said that the musicians played through the disturbance without stopping. Classical pianist Sharon Su tweeted that she “checked with someone who works at the LA Phil and they confirmed” that the orchestra continued playing through the commotion.
The Times’ sources and the audio recording support this account of the orchestra playing on despite the sound from the audience.
