All I Want For Christmas
…is the Beethoven festival with the ISO. 
All through January, the ISO will be performing various works of Beethoven including the 5th & 7th Symphonies and one of the violin concertos, plus chamber music concerts, a film, and luncheon/lectures. I wanna go to all of it!!!
But even the “cheap seats” will bring the total around $150. (But that’s including 3 major concerts and 4 smaller ones, as well as the incidentals mentioned above.) Anybody wondering what to get me? There ya go. Beethoven.
