Hello. That incident in Concertgebouw is ancient. It was on 3rd of September 2011 and the guy on stage was not the conductor. He turned up in a smart suite and the organisers thought he was part of the introductory program. Apparently, the concert continued shortly afterwards. http://www.show.nl/showflits/man-verstoort-concert-koningin/ 

Kind regards from Amsterdam,

Jonathan Marks
