Yes, I also was invited by Steve M to visit him at the Forum with the Harrisburg Symphony Orchestra, we went last saturday night. Originally it was supposed to be me, my wife, her sister and her mother. But a lot of people had the flu and were sick, so we just ended up with me and her sister. We also parked in some state employees parking spots and walked to the Forum, it was very windy.
The performance itself was pretty awesome. The first performance of the night was "The Star-Spangled Banner" then Rimsky Korsakov's "Capriccio Espagnol" , Higdon with the moddern (and fun) "Percussion Concerto", next was Walton "Partita for Orchestra" and lastly Ravel "La Valse" the show was about 2-3 hours long with an intermission.
Overall the music itself was all excellent, and the free seats didnt hurt either! (thanks Steve!) We had a blast, this was the first time i was in the Forum in about 10 years. the seats were nice & compact. We ended up running into my boss, and several friends there also. The ushers and cashiers were very pleasant, and did a great job of sneaking in the tardies. All in all it was a really awesome night, just proof that Harrisburg does have some culture!
