I would prefere to wear nothing at all, theres nothing more exciting then playing and thing fast while your naked.  Playing arpeggios is so much more fun with no clothes on.  

But seriously, unless your playing some huge concert, at like carnagy hall, or however you spell it, theres no point for a tux.  I tend to like to out on the clothes i would go to a job interview in.  A nice tie, a dark shirt, (or a nice white see through one if there are lots of chicks in the audience lol)  black pants and maybe a jacket (purley based on the weather, but dont wear it when your playing, could be a Black Sheep Moment.  hahaha,

People everywhere play in normal clothes, except classical musicians...

We need to get rid of image. It has a bad effect on music and art.

When I go to a classical music performance the only people I see are old rich people and musicians.

well, they know what's good!

Who do you expect to see?  Punk Rockers?  "Rap" fans?  Drug dealers?

and my sister when i take her with me- she's a ballerina ;)

and it's fun dressing up for a music recital, why wear normal clothes when you can wear stuff you can't wear normally at uni or wherever?

classical music is classy and thus it should have a classy atmosphere

No, most of those people have no clue what they are listening to. They are the same as punk teenagers, rap gansters, long haired '80 metal freaks and the whole bunch.

If one thinks that one should go into fashion, not into music.


 Perhaps I should, I'm convinced people have better taste in that realm at least.

Er…

Not that I really care, but it seems to me that outside the realm of classical music people do dress up – and in pretty outrageous ways:

Just a few examples:

1.      The Beatles made quite a scandal with their suits.
2.      Liberace and Elvis Presly come to mind as well.
3.      Let us not forget Elton John.
4.      Ricky Wakeman pling the keyboards in his Merlin gown
5.      And Madonna.
6.      And Alice Copper and Marilyn Manson.

Are these what you would call playing in your “normal” clothes. I guess it may be normal for them…

Best wishes,
Bernhard

I would love to play in all black. Black shirt, pants (not dress), and shoes. Unfortunately, the majority of the concerts I play in are in an orchestra with a white shirt and black skirt, and not even on piano.
