I vote for the NY Phil, since they are the hometown group. Avery Fisher Hall (or whatever they call it now) and Lincoln Center are worth seeing on their own.tmz1m wrote:As it so happens I'm going to be in NYC Thursday night and could go to this show - thanks for posting it.
The NY Phil is also playing that night and their program is:
Louis Andriessen: Agamemnon (World Premiere–New York Philharmonic Commission)
Stravinsky: Violin Concerto
Stravinsky: Symphonies of Wind Instruments (1947 version)
Debussy: La Mer
Which should I go to, given that I've never seen either group perform live?

BCS is a sad spin-off of the original and I used to live in Delaware -- I only go back when forced or paid.bloke wrote:
Why not catch up on "Better Call Saul" episodes via on-demand...

This makes good sense, thanks! I'm currently on a flight that arrives too late to make it, but I'm going to try to switch that around today.bort wrote:I vote for the NY Phil, since they are the hometown group.

I like the SFSO program better, but save SFSO for a trip to SF.
Things like this make me miss living in the city.
How often one visits these two cities would be more important in the calculation that actual proximity. Many folks visit New York MUCH more often than SF. If the OP travels New York every 2-3 years and San Francisco every 10-15 years, seeing SFSO might make more sense...bort wrote:My advice was for Tim, who lives in Denver -- closer to SF than NY. Anyone who lives in NY already -- yes, makes sense to see SFSO. But for someone who lives closer to SF than NY... maybe better to see the NY Phil.
Is there *really* a bad choice here?
