J surprised me yesterday with tickets to see the Gainesville Chamber Orchestra's Valentine's Day performance, Tchaikovsky! Music for a Passionate Valentine.
To be completely honest, he also surprised himself with the tickets since they were given to him by a friend who was unable to attend. His date was stuck in "surgery lab," a very clever excuse.
The seats were great - especially since we had a good view of the french horns, which I enjoy. And it was an excellent performance with an entertaining conductor, Evans Haile. He has a very impressive list of accomplishments, including being the host of the "Toast of the Town" specials on National Public Radio:
The performance included:
- Fantasy-Overture Romeo and Juliet
- Symphony No.4
