SF Symphony was wonderful. The bonus was Sibelius' violin concerto -- fabulous!
Great deal on the ticket price. The seats were nice and it wasn't a sold out performance so there was plenty of space to stretch out. There also was a free wine tasting event before the show so wish I had gotten there even earlier to enjoy that more. Great performance and a night evening out! How can you go wrong with half price tickets???
