It's all about the music, dude! Sit down, relax and listen to some tunes.

Good things come...

... to those with patience! My wife didn't used to like orchestras so much, but she's come around.

And there's a lot to be said for smaller orchestras and "community music making." One of my favorite concert-going memories is a performance of LvB 9 by a local orch that shall remain nameless. They absolutely slaughtered the adagio--some of the most out-of-tune string playing I've ever heard--but watching a chorus of local folk belting out the "Ode" was more than worth all the wrong notes. I particularly remember one guy in the chorus who was so excited he was jumping up and down and singing at the top of his lungs! Such behavior, needless to say, is not tolerated among professionals, but it brought a big smile to my lips, and still does, whenver I think of it! Local performances are often wonderful for what they are.
