Wow, sounds wonderful, Terez. I should definitely check out the other orchestras in the area---I know the SFS isn't the only game in town---but with busy schedules and babysitting needs, you know how it goes. I should check out Symphony Silicon Valley, though. Yes, Karin, I KNOW how it goes! (sigh...) And, hey, on the SFS '07-'08 program, I must say I was shocked to see that Gil was going to be playing the W. Schuman concerto again, after he just did it last year. What a difficult concerto to relax and enjoy. I sooooo wish it could have been the Barber VC. Oh well. Otherwise, some great stuff lined up, yes? James Ehnes! And Julia Fischer! Finally get to hear these two. (And, of course, won't miss Anne-Sophie.)

Oh, andI didn't answer this question before - yes, I do the Sunday matinee series, but alas, that's it for the year for me. Next year, tho, definitely again. You? If so, we'll have to meet up afterwards.

Hey Terez, I have some sort of Sunday matinee series for the SFS; I forget which now, but it's not the same as yours because we have two more performances this season. I don't think I'm going to subscribe next year, though; there's not quite enough I'm interested in, and it does get pricey. I plan to buy single tickets for a couple of the concerts, though, so maybe I'll catch you at one of them. And perhaps 2007-08 will be the year to check out some of the other fine ensembles in the area. :D Karin - I switched out the two remaining tix in favor of seeing the soloists. Will be going to Nadja S-S's recital in April. Terez - you are making me miss the SC mountains!!!Hope all is going well with you! It sounds absolutely beautiful -- redwoods and music. I'm glad you went, and I wish I could go, too. (It's just a few thousand miles away from me.) I love reading your and Laurie's blogs from CA. I lived in CA for almost 10 years, Palo Alto (87-91), Berkeley (92-93), and Pasadena (94-96), and I still miss it. Thanks for letting me go back in spirit. Thanks, Mendy, Pauline and Karen. It WAS wonderful and I feel fortunate to live among the redwoods. So glad my attempts to describe the joy of music + trees came across. (And Mendy & Karen - when you're feeling too nostalgic, just think of the high cost of living here - like gas at $3.49 a gallon. Portola Valley on Sunday? Full-service option at $4.49 a gallon. Gulp!) >I wish I could go, too. (It's just a few thousand miles away from me.)

Yes, that commute REALLY tends to cut into one's Sunday afternoon, doesn't it? : )
