Several local businesses have started reaching out to area bloggers. I was recently invited to attend a Bloggers’ Night at a restaurant in town. I couldn’t make it that particular night, but the word is that it may become a regular thing. I’ve always enjoyed hanging out with likeminded individuals, so I will probably check it out from time to time.
The Knoxville Symphony Orchestra (KSO) has jumped on the bandwagon. The first 50 bloggers willing to blog about the opening night concert will receive two free tickets to the show. Not only that, but they will also be invited to a post-concert reception. I just scored my tickets, and my friend Kevin will be accompanying me to the show.
If you’re interested in attending the KSO concert, here are the details. The show will be held at the beautiful Tennessee Theatre at 7:00 PM on Thursday, September 27th. The program will consist of music by American composers. Tickets range from $19 - $78 each. You can get more information on the show and purchase tickets here. Of course, if you’re a blogger and are willing to blog about the show, you may still be able to get free tickets. Just email Communications Director Stephanie Burdette at stephanie@knoxvillesymphony.com for your tickets.
Thanks to Rich of Shots Across the Bow for informing me of the show, and thanks to Frank Murphy for providing all the juicy details!
See you at the show!

Nice one, Tish! Good job scoring the tix. You think they’ll toss in airfare from NY for me if I blog about it?

Nice score! I’ve played both the Adams and the Gershwin within the past 3 months! The Copland within the past 2 years, I believe. Don’t know the piano piece though. I think you’ll enjoy it (especially the Copland, I’ll bet!).

That’s really cool. Just sent an e-mail.

Hey Tish!
How are you?
Wow…that’s an interesting idea: gathering local bloggers in one event! When you attend, in the future, one of those gatherings let us know how it went :).
Cheers!
