Fire Expo attendees favoring a musical diversion can hear Beethoven's Ninth Symphony performed on Friday, July 27. Tickets are a reasonable $35, including service charge and parking permit. The symphony hall is less than a mile from the Convention Center. Plenty of seats are available, including Grand Tier Center, where Yours Truly will be seated and wearing his standard daily wear (tropical shirt, shorts). For those new to the Ninth, it's about a 75-minute piece, with vocal and choral accompaniment in the famous fourth movement. They sing in German. Freude!
