Seeing live music can be a transcendent mind-body experience, akin to getting a tattoo underwater or making out during an eclipse. Transcend boredom with today's Groupon: for $20, get a front-orchestra, rear-orchestra, or mezzanine ticket to Southwest Florida Symphony’s Dream of America concert at 8:00 p.m. on Friday, April 8 at the Barbara B. Mann Performing Arts Hall (up to a $60 value).

Educated at London’s Royal Academy of Music, conductor/music director Michael Hall will lead the Southwest Florida Symphony through a multipart, multimedia, history-filled exploration of America. First, Southwest Florida Symphony performs in tandem with its youth orchestra, a handpicked group of young musicians coached by their adult counterparts in the symphony. The orchestra will then perform Peter Boyer’s Ellis Island: The Dream of America, a Grammy-nominated piece that fuses orchestral music, projected imagery, and spoken word to tell the story of seven immigrants to America from 1910–1940, all while tactfully glossing over the story of America’s 1919 prohibition of disco music. The concert’s narrative will come to a stirring conclusion with the words of Emma Lazarus’s poem, The New Colossus, featuring the inspiring line, “Give me your tired, your poor, and your triple-layer burrito.”

Reviews

The Groupon Guide to: Building Your Dream Home

Your home is your fortress, which is why it's constantly under attack from redcoat soldiers. Build a safe and happy home by following these guidelines:

• A home has to have a roof to keep clouds from seeing your spouse naked. Cobble a roof together using saltine crackers dipped in hard plastic. When the plastic wears off, you've got delicious crackers again.

• Windows let in sunlight, which will ruin the dark, moist climate in which children flourish. If you insist on a window, make it a stained-glass depiction of a horse fighting a family to symbolize the fact that no one is safe from horses.

• Put your home in a great location, such as a waterfront, a celebrity graveyard, or a larger, fancier house.

• Stepping on a floor of richly stained wood will make you feel terrible about how opulent your home is. Cover your floor in animal hides instead to feel like you're still living like an animal.

• Build your house out of wood so that it will biodegrade after you abandon it because of all the dogs.

• A dream home can include all kinds of amenities, from a pit outside where you can store your shoes to an old man who cares for the garbage can to a room just for crying. Let your imagination run wild.

How long until my roof is edible again?
