We are now at the Motel One on Leipzigerstrasse. Bar is on the 3rd floor.

We are at the Potdammer Platz entrance, but if you’re at the North entrance (where the Woods are), we’ll come around in 5 minutes.

So have we decided where to meet after the concert?

What piece was the violin solo in? "Going to School" or "The Chairman’s Waltz"?

Are you staying in Dresden long enough for Mahler 3? That’s where I’m headed after Berlin.

Well, yeah that was my suspicion because the formatting is now off and it seems like some of the content is missing. Perhaps there was actual text plus a window link to a temporary offer that was time-sensitive.

Is it just me, or the email we got on April 30th announcing the cancellation of John's appearance has been modified within our inbox and no longer includes the 1-month voucher for the Digital Concert Hall? Flying out tomorrow and wanted to set it up on my dad's TV so he can see it live when I'm in the audience but now I can't find the promo code. I was also hoping to see Klauss conduct the Strauss Alpensinfonie this Saturday night from my hotel. Are they reneging on this offer too? I don't recall it being offered just for a limited time.

Maybe John will be watching LIVE from California so we should all bring "Get well soon, John " signs to display during applause?

Yep, and before that, Pittsburgh Dec 12, 2023, which was the last one I attended. Keeping my fingers crosses he'll make a surprise appearance at Tanglewood August 2025.

I'd love to hear Celebrate Discovery at least once in concert but the anti-Columbus SJWs have pretty much "cancelled" the possibility of that happening.

Yes, it was even performed in Ottawa last January in a normal "subscription" concert along with Beethoven's 7th. It's real repertoire now!

Ironically, the Vienna Philharmonic performance of Jurassic Park was spot on, and has now become my reference recording of that piece. No flubs in that one! But Star Wars and ET were falling apart (the tympanist was in a rush or something).

Does he have much conducting experience?

Also timing was off multiple times, most notably the tympanist who was WAY too quick for the ET and Star Wars Main Title codas.

Then call your credit card company and attempt a chargeback for "goods/services not as described". Either you will win (the orchestra may very well throw in the towel), or they will file an objection and cite their T&C and the charge will end up back on your bill. But keep in mind that an orchestra is a non-profit organization like a charity, not a multinational business. It's an expensive endeavour to keep the performance arts alive, and ticket sales only account for about half of their revenues, with government subsidies and donations from rich benefactors making up for the shortfall. Would you sue your local charity for your money back if they advertised a full brunch for their fundraiser and they ran out of bacon or a guest of honour didn't show up?
