The Mahler Eighth rehearsal was actually at Dinkelspiel Auditorium

Sorry if I gave the impression that the Mahler rehearsal was in Memorial Church.
Although I'm not down in the Stanford vicinity very much these days, I believe "The Dink" has pretty much been replaced by the newer, smaller Bing Concert Hall for concert use for a number of years now. Dinkelspiel was one of many halls which featured what everyone generally agreed were bad acoustics, although I treasure seeing a concert there by the (old) Borodin Quartet in the late 60's - music by Borodin, Shostakovitch, and one other composer whom I'm now forgetting. That Borodin Second String Quartet performance was absolutely magical!
Dinkelspiel Auditorium (across from the student union)EDIT: BTW, the wonderful pics in my previous post were not my own - they were from Google Images.
