You must have been on some nearby corner or maybe you were dreaming about the movie "The Gangs of New York". I did not see a gang on the Rose Hall stage. I saw some outstanding musicians playing beautiful music. You sound like some of the right wing commentators ranting racial comments in order to send not so subliminal messages. Was your use of the word gang based on the fact that two African American classical musicians were on that stage? Was your use of the word gang based on your own racial prejudices?

I have never heard of some of the most talented musicians in America being called a "gang". You and The New York Sun should be ashamed! Get a life and stop watching so much television, you might learn something about the diverse culture we live in.
