Sometimes I go to a concert not just for the items on the program, but the combination of items. I couldn't resist the Stanford Philharmonia, the second-tier student orchestra but still pretty good, in both of Mozart's symphonies in G minor, the rampantly stormy no. 25 and the enigmatic - some listeners consider it tragic, others can't find anything in it more of a downer than placidity - no. 40.

Also on the program, yet another Mozart violin concerto. I seem to be collecting them right about now. This one was no. 2, played by Livia Sohn, a real soloist and not a jumped-up one. Not a very brilliant concerto or a good match for what surrounded it, though.

A pretty fair audience came out in the rain.
