A grand Chandler

I, for one, have been criticizing Disney Hall since they dug the hole in the ground (“What’s Not to Like? Well ... ,” by Scott Timberg, Sept. 5). Why? Because we didn’t need it. The Dorothy Chandler is a young woman at 40. It is still grand and beautiful, and much more than serviceable.

If musicologists and audiophiles really felt that, acoustically, the Chandler needed updating, that’s what they should have spent their money on, not on building a single-use building like Disney Hall and leaving the Dorothy Chandler to rot.
