don't knock it, aaron's space is very successful. also one of the more unique concert experiences to be had. there are assumptions and ground rules at any kind of performance - even if it's just "don't climb on stage and piss on the band" or "please remain seated during performance so you don't distract the orchestra." i think "be quiet because you are listening to quiet, nuanced music" is extremely reasonable and not lecturing at all.
