Local Symphony Orchestras

How many of you live in an area where there is a local symphony orchestra? Look carefully and see if there is one, before you answer "no". Many times the budgets don't allow for any advertising, yet they are a sweet gem that you and everyone else should know about. Even small cities will have orchestras that are full of professional musicians that travel in to perform. This is a great way to hear wonderful musicians in a venue close to home and not pay a bunch of money for tickets!
