Wellesley Symphony Orchestra’s first concert of the new season took place on Oct. 16 at Mass Bay Community College, and they went all out with an all-Beethoven all the time presentation, including Symphony No 3; Overture to Prometheus; and Romance in F for violin featuring Boston University Bach Competition winner Subaiou Zhang.

After all these years posting about the Orchestra’s doings, I can’t believe it was my first time ever attending one of their concerts. Where have my priorities been? And to the woman behind me who took out her emery board during Beethoven’s Symphony No. 3 and started scraping away at her talons, yes, it was I who spun around and glared at you.
