Thirteen years may seem like a long engagement, but who's counting? We're delighted to report that the happy couple is finally in their new home. The Santa Rosa Symphony and Sonoma State University in California agreed to be partners in 1999, building a new concert hall that they would share jointly. This fall, Weill Hall was finally finished, and the orchestra has taken up residence in its new home. We'll hear highlights from a concert just a week after the hall opened, the Santa Rosa Symphony playing music by Mozart and Mahler.
