Sat front row at the symphony...

Yesterday, I got to sit in the front row to hear the Pittsburgh Symphony do Beethoven's Piano Concerto no 1 and the Shostakovich Symphony no 10.  I know we all talk about audio gear here, but I have to tell you, sitting in the best seat in the house (Heinz Hall) was an amazing audio experience.  I'm not sure the best audio gear in the world can quite match it.  Maybe I'm wrong, but I was mesmerized by the acoustics of the hall and the dynamics of one of the world's best orchestras.

@7452jf,

Completely agree with you in your statement regarding California Center for the Arts, Escondido. I’ve been there a handful of times myself, and in fact one of my daughters was briefly enrolled (one year) at Classical Academy Middle School directly across from.

Please tell me you’ve attended “The Rady Shell at Jacobs Park.”

@7452jf,

I thought as much ... ;-)

Yeah, there is much to be said for within walking distance. Sure beats the Embarcadero drive south (at times) when something such as the California Center for the Performing Arts sits so close by.
