Firsts at the Symphony

A friend and I went to see the Baltimore Symphony perform "A Symphonic Tribute to the Grateful Dead" at the Meyerhoff Symphony Hall in Baltimore this evening. While I'm not the biggest deadhead in the world, I can certainly appreciate the musicality of Mr. Garcia and his gang. I figured that spending the night listening to a symphonic version of their ditties wouldn't be so bad. And one of my favorite orchestral works of all time, Berstein's Overture to Candide was on the program.
