As did I.
I went to the first performance, on a Thursday evening, and the final one on the following Sunday afternoon. On Sunday there was a family sitting behind us, a mother and father and a boy of maybe 10-11 all dressed up in a suit jacket and bow tie. He was adorable. As we were filing out into the aisle to leave he was standing next to me and said "I really liked the symphony but that first piece was a little... odd."
"It's an acquired taste," I told him, "and I have yet to acquire it."

BTW, in the picture of the auditorium audience, which one is you? Or is the intent a sort of "Where's Waldo?", you know "Where's Frau?"...

I was about six rows back, dead center behind the conductor the first time, and maybe three rows back one section to the right of center on Sunday, at the far right end of the row.
But in both cases I was in the balcony, which means I was somewhere directly under all the people in the foreground of that picture. Which may have been taken at Saturday's performance, in which case I was probably at home puttering around in my jammies.
