There was a failed attempt to disrupt the performance by the Israel Philharmonic Orchestra conducted by Zubin Mehta with Gil Shaham at Prom 62 on 1st September, 2011. Lebrecht Music & Arts picture library has access to the first independent video of the anti-Israel Proms attack. The person who took it can be heard shouting ‘stop it!’, to loud applause from those around him. Gil Shaham, who emerged with huge credit, returned to play a solo encore. The audience was appalled by behaviour of protesters and strongly supported the orchestra. The protesters were ejected and the concert continued.
