How to hear the symphony
How I did it: I'd been wanting to do this forever... but the tickets are so expensive for even crappy seats, I just couldn't justify the expense. Then I saw in the paper that my local symphony was having a series of 3 FREE concerts as they were auditioning new conductors. So, I schlepped myself down to the boxoffice downtown and got in on the action. Took my husband and I for a Friday night, and WOW it was cool. We got to sit in the SECOND ROW. For FREE. It was pretty darn awesome. We got the full Amadeus experience - fopping hair, sweat flying in the lights, the whole bit. The music was so incredible. Live music is amazing - any type or genre - and I'm such an old lady now that I hardly ever get to attend concerts. It was so worth it!
