West Coast, Left Coast

Today the single-concert tickets went on sale for the LA Phil, and Hal got us tickets to see Gustavo Dudamel conduct on Thanksgiving Sunday afternoon. We will be treated to one of the West Coast, Left Coast concerts with LA Variations by Esa Pekka Salonen, Lou Harrison's Piano Concerto, and the new City Noir by John Adams. I bought the LA Variations and have listened to it once, and I'm sure that I'll familiarize myself with it more before November, and then really enjoy a live performance of it.
