Take A Friend To Orchestra (TAFTO)

[bhodges]

Drew McManus, author of the blog Adaptistration, is now in the fourth year of his initiative called Take A Friend To Orchestra.  (April is the month he's chosen.)  The idea is to take people to a concert--especially those who might not normally go to one.  He explains the idea here, and other writers are contributing their experiences. 

I like matching up concerts with people who might be interested--you can never tell when someone will say afterward, "Wow, that was great--I had no idea."

  Sorry, Andy, I think you'll have many more takers for the girl than for you.

Wow, I didn't even know this existed, but last week I bought two of my friends tickets to the opera.

Probably (laughing)!

I'm very pleased to see that some folks here are getting some use out of TAFTO. Friday, April 18th will feature TAFTO contributions from readers so I hope you'll consider submitting a short contribution about your opera experience. drewmcmanus@comcast.net?subject=TAFTO 2008 submission for publication

BTW, TAFTO 2007 had two wonderful Opera oriented contributions: one Magda Krance from (Lyric Opera of Chicago) and the other from Kim Pensinger Witman (Director, Wolf Trap Opera & Classical Programming). TAFTO 2008 will have one opera oriented contribution next week from Chris Foley.

Best,
Drew McManus
