I played flute, Alto saxophone, and clarinet through my school years. I'm really into instrumental music and Christian music, but I listen to all music usually.The symphony is well worth it if you appreciate that style of music and like hearing the actual instruments. My kiddo plays violin and I always enjoyed the school orchestra concerts.(Yeah, I'm that mom...the one who showed up enthusiastically for all the grade school programs and taking tons of pictures.....)
I do have to admit, I really liked the Third Day and the Newsboys concerts. Christian groups so a different feel than traditional concerts and very enjoyable.
Sheryl Crow played in a smaller more intimate setting outdoors so no throngs of people at that one and it was nice too.
