Pittsburgh Symphony

The PIttsburgh Symphony was fantastic last night. I was a guest of a friend and we sat in the front right box just above the orchestra. The performance was enthusiastic and inspiring. After 16 years in Pittsburgh, I finally attend a symphony performance and discover what I have been missing all these years. Manfred Honeck is an exceptional conductor. You can find an excellent article on him here.
