After enjoying the soul-stirring music produced live by a string quartet, I want to experience the performance of an entire symphony.

Does anyone know about any of the shows listed at the link for the Toronto Symphony Orchestra? What's a good choice?

My husband played French horn in the Wyoming Symphony for three decades, as well as some other regonal orchestras as an import. He'd love to have that many choices.

The sitar concert sounds interesting. Obviously it's not Ravi, unless he's making a post mortem tour, but Anoushka tours. Maybe it's her. Anoushka Shankar I'm not a big fan of orchestral movie and pop music concerts, but I could be talked into the John Williams concert. For sheer glorious, showy sound, it would be hard to beat Beethoven's Ninth. My husband skipped playing with the orchestra that concert so he could sing in the chorale. It was one of my favorite singing experiences, even though the idiot choir director decided we needed to sing it in freaking ENGLISH, as if the chorale hadn't sung in everything from Latin to Hebrew, including German. Frankly, he should've retired years earlier. He gave himself the bass solo, though he was nowhere near the best bass in the chorale. I retired from chorale after the Ninth.

But I digress, as usual.

Talked to my daughter-in-law today. We're going to Scotland in September. It'll be my third time, but her first. She's looking forward to trying her Gaelic out on someone.
