Post a CommentI love Strauss and Tchaikovsky. These performances should be fun.
Thanks a bunch, everyone! :o) We are spoiled indeed, in terms of always having classical music performances to go to. I haven't been to as many as I'd have liked this year, but am looking forward to attending a few before I leave town next month. :oD Hope everyone is having a good November!
Gee, how do you choose which to attend? Great reporting, although it does make me envious.
This is a fabulous list! You put a lot of time into compiling this! Happy holidays to you! :)
Wonderful, and most wonderful to see your post:0)
Wish I lived there. I am back....
Excellent... :o)
