Concert Report
Just to let you know that I did go to the inaugural concert of the Hollywood Symphony Orchestra on my birthday (night).
Hats off to a talented collection of musicians and entertaining conductor, John Scott (composer for Antony and Cleopatra, Greystoke: The Legend of Tarazn, etc.).
Thumbs down to a parking attendants who directed my wife and I to an ATM, and then disappeared less than 5 minutes after showtime. With no one to take our money for parking, I had to lift the parking gate, while my wife drove the car underneath. Well, at least parking was free that night.
Royce Hall at UCLA is a nice-enough venue for symphonic performances, though I recommend opting for the less-expensive balcony seats. Toward the end of the concert - after noticing how few people there were in the balcony seats – we moved from our more expensive seats on the seats on the floor to the balcony where we had plenty of breathing room and a better view of the orchestra.
