While in Chicago at the League of American Orchestras conference I was able to attend a concert of the Chicago Symphony. For the performance I chose seats in the Terrace Level. I'm especially fond of these seats because they allow you to see the musicians from above and see the face of the conductor.
While at these concerts, the techie can't stop looking at the production aspects of the space. For example, in this hall notice the lack of front lighting. The orchestra does not get lighting from front lights, rather a series of down lights that also include a portion of the main floor audience in the illumination.
And my fiancee would be proud, I also take time to admire a set of low profile speakers. If only our concert hall had such low profile beauties.
