**Help** National Concert Hall Aug/Sep

retroactive

Hey all,

Seeking advice - This girl I'm rather fond of has the anniversary of her popping into existence soon. She an accomplished pianist and fond of the classical literature. Sadly, I'm an accomplished eejit and fond of staring at my own hand.

I've come to the conclusion that tickets to the National Concert Hall would be an excellent gift but, given that she's so dear to me, I figure we should actually see or hear a performance while we're there.

So could you, the dear boards of the classical forum, advise what would be a rather good show to see in Aug/September (I wouldn't want to book any further in advance lest she realise what a philistine I am)

Thank you

Zcott

2 good options above (personally I'd go for the Basel/Symphony ravel concerto stuff before Beethoven/Mahler )

If you were willing to wait a bit more you could do worse than see this guy. It's just 'pure' piano and he should be dazzling enough with the Debussy Etudes on the list. The program is mixed enough too so you could offer yer 2 cent on each composers as they are quite different!

OR if you want to go totally leftfield then just book a cheap ryanair flight and go see this guy http://www.bandsintown.com/ChillyGonzales/
