  1. Got my tickets for “Music in 12 Parts” on 2009-02-16 in SF.
    I’m making a special trip to SF just to see the performance.
    SF Performances is already selling non-subscription tickets for this performance, despite its web site saying that non-subscription tickets go on sale Aug 18.

  2. Does anyone know where Symphony #3 is going to be performed in London? Googling “Primavera Chamber Orchestra” leads to dead ends.

  3. Try this number for Symphony No3. 01732866219
    I called it and the guy told me it was only the last movement of the symphony being performed!
