Anyone have the schedule? Can't seem to locate via FB or website.

References to music passages have been frowned upon here but for those few music lovers who still linger out there (regardless of type, style or genre), here is your classical fix:

There is a link to the orchestra schedule at the top of this very Gtolist page. See "OSUG" right below the big black banner? It's been there for quite a while now.

Thanks Barb, it certainly is not clear these days about how to navigate some of these crazy new websites, particularly here in Mexico. I can't tell you how many times I have to start over in trying to use the ETN or nearly as bad, the Primera Plus website. Seems more of today's web designers try to program to all the features rather than picking a few they absolutely need (e.g. your nice explanation of all the fading in and out of color and a need for an additional "click".)
The age old design mantra of KISS (keep it simple stupid) has somehow escaped modern web developers. Anyway see you at the symphony. Looks like the next one is going to be at the Teatro Principal. I haven't managed to get there since the renovation so will be looking forward to seeing what they have done. Cheers!

You're welcome, Don Juane. I agree about website design. I am on a laptop with a large screen, so maybe it's easier to navigate. On some websites I find myself having to click on everything to find what I want.
The changes in Teatro Principal seem to be structural and cosmetic - new doors on the bathroom stalls (practically see-through thick glass!), doors on the side entrances instead of curtains - that's all I noticed. Nothing was done to improve the acoustics unfortunately. If you see me there, please introduce yourself. I have no idea who you are and your profile picture here is a white ghost.
Saludos,
Barbara

That's the reason I didn't change the photo, the resemblance is strikingly similar :-)
