Yesterday we went to hear the last concert of the season in our Sunday afternoon series at Benaroya Hall. We're looking forward to the new season in September. I love our 4th row seats, and we've had them for several years. A bit close to the stage, but a real bargain since we're in the cheaper section and the folks behind us in the 5th row are paying much more for basically the same view.
We missed our usual nice seat neighbors, and look forward to seeing you in the fall. Yesterday, a quiet lady sat next to me in Betsy's seat, but she got so excited after the Ades violin concerto she started to hyperventilate! I wouldn't say the concert was all that thrilling, but contemporary compositions are usually interesting. The symphony also played the entire Firebird ballet, and Night on Bald Mountain which this Seattle Times critic described as "rather a silly piece."

I listen to it every year at Halloween, but have to admit it doesn't have quite the same effect on a warm June afternoon.
