How many concerts do you attend a year

i attend 6 or 7 colorado symphony concerts a year, sitting in the seats owned by a friend who's a member of the board (dead center- about twenty rows from the conductor; we have a hall in the round modeled, unfortunately, after berlin's). i also go to an average of 2 rock/blues/groove concerts/mo and usually sit (sit?) in the vip or comp sections, courtesy of my well-connected older son. (hey, i supported him for more than 20 years--this is just a little payback!) -cfb

sugarbrie: indeed, she does. the orchestra has matured wonderfully under her direction. unfortunately, as is the case in a number of cities, the CSO is facing a deficit of >$.5 mil this year, which will be hard to erase in this economy. -cfb

sugarbrie: i've heard and seen marin alsop conduct the CSO with nadja solerno sonnenberg performing as the soloist. if they're on form in baltimore, expect magic. absolutely not to be missed. -cfb
