My vantage tonight, seeing Hilary Hahn. I could have taken the 'leper colony' seats, again, but decided to chance it. It was fine. The young lady next to me didn't take her shit out of my seat when I got there, but there was no-one on the other side of me, and it was kind of a bench, so I sat between two seats, sort of. It was fine at first, but I was sitting right on the seam, so it got kinda old. At the intermission I was going to ask her to keep her shit, but they never returned, so no problems on either side of me for the rest of the show.
She played a solo violin piece that one of her patrons had commissioned for her that was just fantastic. Show opened with the first part of that, then it was her and the pianist Cory Smyth playing Mozart, then she played the second part of the new piece, intermission, third part, then the pianist returned for a Sonata by Copland. This was a much more Hilary-centric concert than the last one, so I was happy.
