I've always wanted to attend more classical music concerts while I'm in the South, and with my dissertation coming to a close I finally had the free time to explore. The NC Symphony had a free Veteran's Day concert in their new Meymandi Concert Hall next to the BTI Center for Performing Arts in downtown. Meymandi is beautiful, spacious and sounds great -- I love the hardwood paneling! The concert hall was packed; there were a lot of families and what looked to be WWII veterans bringing their grandchildren.

All in all the short 1hr concert was a nice diversion for an afternoon and left me wanting to attend more concerts.
