Pacifica Quartet

Just came back from the conclusion of Pacifica Quartet's concerto, during which they played Mendelssohn. It was an interesting experience; I have never been to a proper classical concert so everything was all new to me. I think I would have enjoyed it much more if they had chosen something else to play rather than Mendelssohn. However, I really loved Fugue in E flat major, it was so much more visceral than the rest of the music choices. I’m really glad I went but I think I shall go to something different next time. Still want to go to a musical or opera.

Want some recs? XDXD if Phantom of the Opera is still playing in Perth I really recommend that as one of the 'must sees' of musical theatre.

Also, you saw a quartet which is chamber music and thus more intimate/subtle as far as classical music goes. Maybe try to get to a symphony orchestra or concerto performance, those can be very visceral particularly if you're talking something like Beethoven.
