Demonstrators sang and unfurled banners from the concert hall balcony. Audience members and performers applauded the demonstration after it finished.
The singers, who were dispersed throughout the audience, were apparently participants in an organized demonstration intended to call attention to the Aug. 9 death of Michael Brown. As they sang, they repeated their question several times, then continued, "justice for Mike Brown is justice for us all."
Their words echoed into the cavernous Powell Hall as the rest of the audience, as well as the symphony performers, mostly looked on in silence.
