My wife and I saw Eileen Ivers with the Grand Rapids Symphony. This was our first time seeing a show at Devos and we were very impressed! It was a very entertaining show. Eileen and her band were incredible and the symphony added the perfect harmony and atmosphere. We were in awe of all the talented musicians. The conductor was entertaining as well. We will definitely be back. Thank you GR Symphony!
I had a wonderful time. The performers are so talented and made my first symphony experience so wonderful. Thank you!
Very thankful for this event and loved it! My only critique would be next time turn the actual movie down. I would have liked to hear the symphony more than the movie. I greatly enjoyed they still balanced the idea and had quit moments for them to play for us. Bringing the original drummer on stage was definitely a highlight! Over all loved it and very thankful I got to experience a unique showing.
So great to see this movie with live music...and to have the living drum join in
Awesome show, seamless. Cannot wait for the next show.
What! A! Night! It was so much fun! To get to watch the movie along the symphony was unforgettable. Absolutely loved it!
This was my first time attending the Symphony with a soul. And I loved every minute of it. Leela James did amazing and I would love to go next year. Thank you for a great show
Excellent collaboration, well done in every aspect!
What a great night. I would have loved to hear more from Leela James but what was performed was truly amazing. Would love to see this event happen more than just once a year!
Good soulful music ?? and an enjoyable evening out with my girlfriends loved it ??
The pieces chosen were cheerful, peaceful, and calming. Just what I needed on a dark evening. They made me think of spring and simpler times. The conductor was the best I've seen with a humble attitude and fine character. The quote he stated touched my heart. God bless.
The GR Symphony has done it again! The combination of visuals (big screen), the conductor's introductions of the orchestra sections, the Narrator (great job Edy Evans Hyde!) the Dancers, and the book/score of Dan Brown's (DaVinci Code author) "Wild Symphony"was perfect for a young audience eager to have a great musical concert experience! Just the right length to hold attentions and the pacing kept the little ones engaged. I bring a grandchild every year and am never disappointed. We are planting positive seeds for future musicians and artists! Good job and keep it up GR Symphony!!
Vadim Gluzman was amazing! And as always the symphony was wonderful! Well worth venturing out in the storm.
The movie has an amazing musical score and to listen to the symphony play it was awesome. They absolutely nailed it. If you’ve never been to one of their shows then you are definitely missing out.
The performance was so good!!! Devos was little warm inside
My husband had never seen this movie so I was so excited to invite him to see not only a classic film but hear it with a live symphony playing the score. It was a FULL house, but it was a great show. Loved the movie, loved the music more, we love our GR Symphony. Can’t wait to hear more this year!
A fun exciting night. All of the players and singers were having a good time. Great interaction with audience and song selection
What a magical experience! Fun for the whole family. We will definitely be returning next year!!
We started going to the Christmas concerts on and off about 15 years ago. Now it has become a tradition. Every seat affords full enjoyment of the GRS sound. The accommodations are excellent and the staff are helpful, efficient, cheerful, and full of the holiday spirit.
