Slovak violist interrupted by Nokia ringtone, performs the tune

PanARMENIAN.Net - Slovak violist Lukas Kmit kept his cool when a Nokia cell phone interrupted his concert at a Jewish Orthodox synagogue in Presov, and even included that ringtone in his performance, according to Daily Picks and Flicks.

Instead of rending his garments and screaming to the heavens, he improvised. He played the ringtone, expressing cool beyond reason, CNET comments.

This doesn't seem to have been a set-up and happened a few months ago. But the video took on a viral flavor after the terrible incident just a few days ago of an iPhone marimba bringing the New York Philharmonic to a halt.

In the case of the Philharmonic, the marimba was so loud that the conductor, Alan Gilbert, simply downed baton.
