Crowd left in disbelief as woman in balcony has 'loud, full body orgasm' during LA Philharmonic concert

The orchestra was playing the second movement of Tchaikovsky's fifth symphony when the woman unexpectedly climaxed

LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: An orchestra performing Tchaikovsky's fifth symphony in Los Angeles on Friday, April 28, had an unexpected effect on a particular concertgoer who had a "full body orgasm." A loud moan reportedly erupted from the balcony at the Walt Disney Concert Hall during the Los Angeles Philharmonic's performance. When the audience members turned to find out where the noise came from, they were left in utter disbelief as they found a woman sitting next to her partner trying to catch her breath.

People who attended the event said they heard the loud noise during the symphony’s second movement, according to Los Angeles Times. The bizarre incident has caused a fierce debate online. An audio clip of the moment has even gone viral on social media where the woman supposedly can be heard screaming out during a quiet period in the performance. The orchestra, however, effortlessly carried out its performance following the loud moan.

'Band politely carried on'

British composer, music producer, and brother of actors Ralph and Joseph Fiennes, Magnus Fiennes, witnessed the scream during the Los Angeles Philharmonic’s performance and tweeted about it. "A woman in the audience had loud and full body orgasm during the 5th's second movement... Band politely carried on," he wrote. "Props to LAPhil (and Pytor Ilyich) for bringing it on...."

'Wonderful and refreshing'

Molly Grant, who was enjoying Los Angeles Philharmonic’s performance, was startled by the loud noise. "Everyone kind of turned to see what was happening," she told the LA 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."

Friends of Jocelyn Silver, a New York City-based writer, went to the Walt Disney Concert Hall on Friday. They told her about the apparent orgasm and she tweeted, "Friends who went to the LA philharmonic last night are reporting that in the middle of the show some lady had a SCREAMING orgasm, to the point where the whole orchestra stopped playing. Some people really know how to live..." 

Lukas Burton, a Silver Lake resident and music agent, said the moan was "wonderfully timed" to a "romantic swell" in the symphony. "One can’t know exactly what happened, but it seemed very clear from the sound that it was an expression of pure physical joy," he said. "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 called the incident "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."

'Poor woman had a breakdown'

However, some were skeptical that the woman had an orgasm. One user wrote while replying to Fiennes on Twitter, "I was there. This is not what happened. The poor woman had a breakdown of some sort. Speaking to Elim after the concert (we are friends since out time together at U of M) and we were all worried it was a medical emergency. Please have more respect." However, Fiennes hit back, claiming eight of his friends attended the event, and "all had reached a similar conclusion." He added, "She remained for the rest of the show, Her demeanor was in evidence. My corroborated take is merely an observation. Respect maintained."

The performance was led by conductor Elim Chan and featured Thomas Ades' 'Concentric Paths' violin concerto. The program notes were published on the LA Philharmonic's website and described the second movement of Tchaikovsky’s fifth symphony. It reads, "The ...luscious main theme was adapted for a popular love song; Tchaikovsky’s skillful orchestration, however, lifts the mood from sentimentality to high Romanticism. The movement’s principal melody is presented in a memorable solo by the horn, followed by other appealing woodwind solos."
