Last night we went to the SF Symphony, and sat together listening to Eine kleine Nachtmusik, with Alexander Barantschik as Concertmaster. This is the second time I have attended a concert with Barantschik, and the strings, smaller for the kleine night music and added to for Dvořák's Serenade in E major, was superb as always. This was another of the things that originally brought us together; a love of Beethoven, Puccini, and Dylan Thomas...

For the wedding, which of course is on his birthday, I bought tickets to the Symphony, to go listen to Chris Botti in some classical jazz.
If I had a wish list, it would include a joint subscription to the next season, but in the meantime, perhaps we can make July 9th's classic Beethoven night.
P.S. to all serious music snobs out there: I admit to a love of Tchaikovsky, so there!
