Patron X
Patron X was a moniker used by several media outlets for an anonymous audience member at a New York Philharmonic concert whose cell phone rang during a performance of Gustav Mahler's 9th Symphony on January 10, 2012. The conductor Alan Gilbert, who led the performance, stopped the orchestra for several minutes, turning around to face the audience and speak directly to Patron X, who was seated near the front of Avery Fisher Hall. The incident was a remarkable breach of concert etiquette, and was covered by The New York Times[1] and Time Magazine,[2] among others.[3] Patron X's phone played the ubiquitous iPhone ringtone "Marimba".[4]
