| - Every time I go to a show here, whether it's the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra or a band stopping in as part of a tour, I realize how lucky we are to have a venue like this. Beautiful architecture, surprisingly roomy seats and a great atmosphere. Let alone the wonderful acoustics.
We're not only lucky to have such a beautiful venue, but the PSO plays a wonderful mix of classics, mash-ups, and new age shows to appeal to all ages. I'm personally a fan of the cinema themed shows like John Williams and Hans Zimmer.
Thankfully this venue also picks up several of my favorite bands like Ben Folds and Sufjan Stevens, who otherwise may not have come to Pittsburgh. Well, not Ben, he's here all the time, but with the symphony it's a whole other level of perfection.
Not to say they don't have some downfalls, there are a lot of pinch points and bottlenecks in the lobby especially as it relates to getting to the restroom or grabbing a drink. But the staff is typically very pleasant and I've never not had a good time.
