Not just any orchestra can show up, but if you do receive an invitation, people know you're pretty good. And you can be sure the onlookers appreciate what they're seeing.
"By and large, our concerts are always sold out, and they are a very knowledgeable audience," said James A. Wilkinson, president and CEO of the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra.
