This event was the NC Symphony Event that I have been to at the Amphitheater. My expectations were more than met. The artistry of the musicians combined with the grace and athleticism of the Circus performers was breath taking. I enjoyed how neither the musicians nor the Circus performances blended together to create a wonderful and enjoyable evening.

While I was familiar with several of the works being performed that evening I think it makes it that much more difficult for the performers to impress because of the high standards that we can hold from "perfect" recordings. On the whole it was quite a lovely performance. I recall some minor intonation issues in the Haydn and a moment or two in Le Sacre du Printemps that weren't the tightest it could have been. However, it is always a treat to hear live music, especially when it is executed very well as the NC Symphony has proven to do. They emoted well, always providing an atmosphere suitable to enjoy the piece at hand. Never a dull moment with Grant Llewellyn on the podium!

The music is unsurpassed! I noticed a few violinists who were really feeling their music. I had forgotten how good the music was, My only regret was the venue, New Bern, their convention center is not suitable for music. It's not a proper venue to hear music. The seats will either break your back or put your legs to sleep. The chairs are jammed together so you wind up touching the person on either side of your seat.

The show itself was outstanding. I enjoyed it very much. However I spent 35 minutes just trying to find somewhere to park! The parking lot in front where I usually park when I go to the symphony was full so I pulled in quickly to ask the worker where else I could park since I don't know the area well and the woman was very rude to me! The person who showed me to myseat was disrespectful. It ruined the evening.

Overall I really enjoyed the Disney Concert. The symphony was amazing and it brought back so many memories of when I first enjoyed each of the Disney movies. If I had to critique one thing, I felt as though the vocalists took away from the orchestra. They seemed to over-power the music to some extent. However I still want to give credit to the vocalists. I think they did an outstanding job with their musical selections. I just would have preferred a little less of the singing and more of the orchestra.

The symphony was fantastic, as usual. My husband and I were very dissappointed when they announced that there were 4 "performers" to sing onstage with the symphony. It was difficult to hear they symphony over the singing- the mikes were WAY too loud. The screen overhead with Disney clips was nice, but it would have been a much better experience without the "performers".

My mother, mother-in-law and I thoroughly enjoyed this event. It evoked many memories of my son's early years and many good times for all of us. The singers were excellent and the symphony was fabulous! Note for those who need accessible seating: the box office changed our seats to accommodate the wheelchair.

My wife and I were pleasantly surprised. Not only was the music by the symphony well done, but there were singers, too. While the video lacked very many videos (mostly still shots or animation artwork), and sometimes seemed a little off pace with the music, it added to the event. We did not mind, but be warned there were a TON of kids there.

In the interest of fair disclosure, I HATE...and I mean HATE..the song "It's a Small World". So of course, it features TWICE in this performance - as the final song and as part of the medley in the first song. The Symphony and Maestro Curry were spot on; the female singers would do well to remember that this is neither "American Idol" nor the semifinals of the Miss America pageant. They can surely sing, but the vocal antics tended to distract from, rather than add to, the songs.

There were a number of Disney songs which would've been great inclusions in this performance, and a far more fitting conclusion to the show would have been "When You Wish Upon a Star".

Part one of the program provides an exposition of two of Verdi's short compositions that bookend a section from Wagner's Götterdämmerung. These are capably performed by the full NC Symphony, and conduced with verve and emotion by master conductor William Henry Curry. The music is moving and captivating, with major flourishes provided by the brass section.

After intermission, the audience is treated to an excellent performance of the four movement "Pathetique" symphony of Tchiakovsky. This is where the main course of the evening is provided to the audience, having had their auditory taste buds excited by the earlier part one. Once again, the brass section shines, but is admirably and excellently accompanied by the string section that performs with verve and tremendous energy, especially in the third movement.

The audience was clearly impressed, granting the maestro and the symphony orchestra a standing ovation upon conclusion of the program.

The Tempest by Tchaikovsky evoked the story and the sea in all its mystery. Paul Randall gave a flawless performance of the Trumpet Concerto by trumpet Haydn and won the audiences' praise. But the evening highlight was the vigor of its performance of Rimsky-Korsakov:'s Scheherazade. Brian Reagin handled the violin voice of Scheherazade with clarity and emotion.
