And Another One . . .

On December 29, 2008, I listed the orchestra concerts Andrew and I had attended between February 2006 and the end of last year. According to my list, we attended twenty-three orchestra concerts during that three-year period.

In the last six months, Andrew and I have attended another five orchestra concerts.

Next school term, there are seven subscription concerts of the Boston Symphony that hold some appeal for us, but Andrew and I probably will not make it to all seven concerts.

We certainly do not plan to miss next season’s Boston appearances by the Berlin Philharmonic and the Leipzig Gewandhaus Orchestra.
