新世界管弦乐团的音乐家们对法国警方以催泪瓦斯针对和平集会感到震惊。上周，当防暴警察包围共和国广场并投掷催泪瓦斯罐驱散示威者时，指挥家埃蒂安·贾里耶和他的乐团继续演奏。即使其他人都已离去、催泪瓦斯被射入巴黎市中心的广场，他们仍坚持演奏。
New World Orchestra’s musicians are shocked at French police targeting peaceful gathering with teargas As riot police encircled Place de la République last week, lobbing teargas canisters to disperse demonstrators, the conductor Étienne Jarrier and his orchestra played on. They kept playing even after everyone else had disappeared and teargas was being fired into the central Paris square.
只有当贾里耶注意到他的音乐家们正被直接瞄准时，他才下令停止演奏。他对《卫报》说：“催泪瓦斯罐落在了大提琴和乐谱架箱子里，引起火灾，音乐家们不得不踩灭。”
It was only when Jarrier noticed his musicians were being directly targeted that he ordered them to stop. “There were teargas canisters landing in the double bass and music stand cases, and starting fires the musicians had to stamp out,” he told the Guardian.
