Now you know Krause can't let you presume to know more about classical music than he

Since we had a season subscription to the NY Philharmonic for many
years it's unlikely that he's seen more live performances than I have.
We also had a number of friends who were performing artists of various

young lady who moonlights as a percussionist with several symphony
orchestras in the NYC area.
