The New York Philharmonic

We went to see the NY Philharmonic the other night. It was a night of Bach, Mozart, and Beethoven. The music was beautiful and neither of us fell asleep. It was amazing to see all those strings in perfect unison.
We had great seats. Row R, off to the right(or left if you're looking at the photo) We could've been closer, but it wasn't like we were watching a play and needed to see facial expressions. We did notice that the conductor/pianist was using an iPad as his sheet music. He was so good that he was actually adjusting his piano bench DURING the song.
It's a wonderful space. Very good acoustics and LOTS of seating. Since I bought the tickets through TDF, they were only $27 which is a steal considering the orchestra seats are normally in the $70 range while the top level is $35.
