Right on, looks like many a good programs. What performance are you most looking forward to?

So not to jack the thread, but I'll post my local symphony's schedule here too...

This is the '08-'09 season at the Kitchener-Waterloo Symphony. Their musical director is Edwin Outwater and I have to say he's done some great work here this year... and he plays lots of 20th, even 21st!, century stuff!

Anyhow, here's the schedule (you probably have to right-click and hit "View Image" (that's for Firefox, but IE is probably similar) to see it full-sized).

The Elgar Cello Concerto or M5. Will be nice to hear Julia Fischer live also.
