French riot police fired teargas at the Orchestre du Nouveau Monde (ONM) during a protest in central Paris last Saturday, forcing conductor Étienne Jarrier to stop a performance the orchestra had coordinated with authorities. Jarrier told the Guardian that police failed to warn the musicians before gassing the square, with canisters landing among instruments and starting small fires.
