Musicians, like surgeons, use instruments to get inside people and can often move them to tears without the proper sedative. Test your tear ducts with today's Groupon to the Windsor Symphony Orchestra. A Juno and Gemini award-nominated orchestra, the Windsor Symphony Orchestra is a melodious machine with 43 members, conducted by Maestro John Morris Russell, under whose direction the orchestra has been a two-time recipient of Ontario's Lieutenant Governor's Award for the Arts. Today’s deal offers three ear-engaging options to absorb the note-worthy notes, including the full-bodied sounds of history's great composers in the Masterworks Series, a seat-dancing blend of popular tunes from Broadway, movies, jazz, and light classics in the Pops Series, and the soothing sounds of revered classics in the Intimate Classics chamber concerts. Performances are held in a number of venues, but Groupon tickets must be redeemed in advance at the symphony’s box office on Ouellette Avenue. The 2010–2011 season is a celebration of Maestro Russell's 10th anniversary with the orchestra, so feel free to wear party hats and bring any recently discovered anniversary gifts originally meant for now-grumpy tax attorneys. Choose from two ticket options:

• For $50, you get two A section tickets (located on the main floor and front balcony) to a Masterworks or Pops series performance (up to a $117.52 value, including HST)
• For $25, you get two general seating tickets for a morning or evening Intimate Classics performance (up to a $67.80 value, including HST)
