Man with Loaded Gun Nearly Shuts Down NH Concert Series
An incident on August 8, 2009, at the Monadnock Music concert series in Peterborough, New Hampshire, has forced organizers to hire security guards for their future concerts. A man identified as William Kostric was seen with a handgun strapped to his thigh and a sign that read, “It is time to silence the belltree of Marxism.” Kostric’s sign was likely referring to “Song and Dance,” a 1976 piece by the Marxist composer, Frederic Rzewski. “Song and Dance” was part of a percussion-oriented concert entitled “On the Beaten Path.”
