We had a Groupon to use at Trio's Bistro, and bought the symphony tickets with a senior's discount. Ah, the life of two Queen City gadabouts.
The dinner was wonderful, and the symphony was nice. The artistry of the piano soloist was remarkable, although one of the works, Stumble to Grace by Steven Mackey, was a bit difficult to get into, and the Bernstein symphony (No. 2 The Age of Anxiety) was unfamiliar and largely unmelodic as well.
But the three dance episodes from On the Town reminded me of other works by Bernstein, and it was a treat to hear Barber's Adagio for Strings played by a live orchestra in an acoustically perfect hall.
This is only the second time this season we've been to Music Hall, and it was nice to be there and wonderful to be out and around on a beautiful spring evening.
