Do you subscribe to the r.m.c and the r.m.c.r newsgroups? Perhaps you can
find some concert-going partners there more easily because they probably
have more subscribers than this list.

In Hong Kong, there is a local classical music newsgroup and many of us get
acquainted with each other through our postings.  Some of us also go to
concerts together.  We usually have a "meeting" in a record store near the
venue before the concert, then proceed to have dinner together and finally
going to the concert.  These meetings are really very enjoyable events!
