    Default Tchaikovsky Spectacular at the Mann...

    Any regulars from PS going to this concert? It is next Monday at 8:00pm. I don't know why the heck they have such concerts on a week night as it makes it that much harder, potentially, for many people to attend.

    Anyway, I'm hoping to go, and this would be my first show at the Mann. Perhaps if any regulars from Center City area are going, we can go together or I'll see you there...

    Here's more info:

    okay, bought the tickets for this event. I was taken aback that the cheapest tickets were only $10 for the lawn seating. But that "Handling & Fees" added up to $11.50 more! So "handling" costs more than the performance itself?! wow! Only in Philly, I imagine.

    Anyhow, there is a SEPTA Center City loop to pick up people at six different locations and drops them off at the Mann about an hour before the concert begins.

    There is a meetup group that's going to this event... sounds like fun.

    Still hoping some PS people will go...

    Is that the movement with the kick-ass French Horn part?
