Rachmaninoff’s Rhapsody
We really enjoyed the saeason opener of the symphony. We got last minute seats for $35 each and ended up in Row C but in the middle. the seats were surprisingly good. We saw each orchestra members face, the sound was great. The pianist was amazing for such a young beautiful woman.
