On February 10th I watched the Detroit Symphony Orchestra perform Beethoven’s Fourth and Fifth symphonies at Orchestra Hall in Detroit. Even though the musicians were in Michigan‚ I had the full experience right inside my dorm room. The webcast was a really interesting experience that I enjoyed. I think I may have even appreciated it more than the real thing.
