I attended Beethoven’s Emperor, performed by the Grand Rapids Symphony at the DeVos Performance Hall on March 18, 2016. First off, I was not expecting the performance to be as long as it was. Attending this concert after a long day at work was the last place I wanted to be. Classical music, would not be my choice of music to listen to at the end of a long work week.
