it's because I don't like being asked to play pop music.

And I'm not Chop-out ;)

execute order 66! you have just used a powerful excorsism!

one day I had to play a concert for people who didn't know much about classical music. I was told : no tailcoat, no tie, don't come dressed too "classically".

I came and played piano in bombers, light green pants, black boots without laces. I had success

Granted I'll never dress up to expectations for my music, especially more modern russian composers do not evoke tidiness, I see no reason why one's dress should evoke feelings of order to play quite chaotic music

On a somewhat less nudist note, I used to perform with my left sleeve rolled up. It started because it made it easier to play Henry Cowell, but then it just became a thing I did.

As you can see, sportswear is allowed at concerts, provided you’re the referee or a cheerleader.
