BSO (Boston Symphony Orchestra) Reflections

One main highlight of my spring semester was going to the BSO (Boston Symphony Orchestra) on Saturday nights. In fact, it was something that I looked forward to when I felt miserable in class. Some nights, I was tired and didn't feel like going, but I would tell myself to go because each show was pretty much free ($5 for the entire season as an MIT student). I am glad I made myself go, even though there were times I was on a tight schedule.  Here were all the concerts I attended:  Mozart and Bruckner, 2/19 Shostakovich and Stravinsky, 2/26 Ives, Unsuk Chin, and Berlioz, 3/5  Britten (War Requiem), 4/2  Tchaikovsky, Ellen Reid, and Sibelius, 4/9 Strauss, 4/23 I really wanted to go to the Debussy concert on 4/16 but sadly Saturday tickets sold out and as a college card holder, I do not get first priority for tickets. Technically, I could have ditched class on Friday to watch it, but I felt guilty for having such thoughts.  I don't remember each show that well, tho...
