My husband and I like classical music a lot. I also like other genres, including rock and roll, jazz, and even hip hop. The last concerts we saw were at the summer Tanglewood festival in Massachusetts. We saw concerts two nights in a row. There were pieces by Mozart, Mahler, Previn, and Dvorak. The orchestra was the Boston Symphony. Special soloists included Ann Sophie-Mutter (for the Previn piece) and Emanuel Ax (for the Mozart piece. As for other styles of music, I don't quite remember. There were some less than great performances. I guess that most notable rock and roll concert of great significance was a U2 concert. That was years back and I believe was their "No Line on the Horizon" tour. It was a packed stadium. My favorite rock and roll group is U2. My favorite classical composer is Beethoven. My favorite opera singers are Kiri Te Kanawa, Renee Fleming, Placido Domingo, and the late Luciano Pavorotti.
Q: What has been your favorite performance you attended to date? Could be any kind of performance (music, dance, acting, sports, etc.)
