Just got home from seeing the Colorado Symphony Orchestra play:
Copland - Fanfare for the Common Man
Harris - Symphony No. 4, "Folksong Symphony" (with the Chorus)
Harris - Symphony No. 3 in one movement
MacDowell - Concerto for Piano No. 2 in D minor (with Andrew Watts on the piano)
It was incredible. I'm not very knowledgable about classical music, I'm sad to report, except to say that I love to listen to it! I would like to become more knowledgable. For example, in the MacDowell piece it seemed to me that sometimes the piano part didn't fit what the rest of the orchestra was doing. My assumption is that this was written that way on purpose, but I'm not educated on this, and so I cannot even guess why it would be written this way, particularly when the piano and the orchestra seem to be partners through most of the piece.
So, I'm rambling here, but this resparked my interest in classical music, and lookie here, a classical forum!
