Overall i enjoyed it although it was a short performance (only 45 mins). I'm not even much of a Harry Potter fan and I liked it. A major annoyance: screaming kids/babies, but I should have expected that since it was regarding a children's book. Worth the price though!

The Virginia Symphony was great! The performance was flawless. The songs were familiar especially to kids! Looking around, everyone had a good time. The Virginia Children's Choir was awesome! Will need to watch another performance - that addiciting!

I had a terrific time listening to the Virginia Symphony Orchestra's rendition of Vivaldi's The Four Seasons. Guest musician Philippe Quint was absolutely awesome on violin. I got the feeling that he really understood and was able to bring across the meaning of each movement as he progressed through each season. The VSO is extremely talented, I'd definitely recommend going to hear them. They bring music to life!

Wow. The concert was exceptional. The Ferguson Center has great seating and atmosphere for Baroque music. I highly suggest that you book early and sit close to experience the nuances and sounds coming from the stage without amplification.

The audience gave the most graphic review at the end of the concert. An immediate, thunderous, standing ovation, applause and cheering were followed by demands for the soprano and baritone to return to the stage.Then tremendous yelling and clapping occurred when Conductor Falleta acknowledged the Virginia Symphony Chorus led by Robert Shoup and also for for the fabulous Virginia Sympbony Orchestra.
This stunnning work by Brahms had all the emotions and movement one could hope for. The 75 minutes went by so quickly it was hard to believe it was over. Subscribers who did not attend this concert missed a great experience of chorus, sololsts and orchestra. If they perform this work again, drop everything and go.

I had the pleaseure of singing the Brahms Requiem in Jordan Hall in Boston when I was in my college glee club over 30 years ago. We were directed by Dr. William Tortolano, Chair of the Music Department of St. Michael's College in Winooski, Vt.. This performance brought tears to my eyes as memory after memory flooded my conciousness. I was amazed to discover in leafing through the playbill, that Dr. Tortolano's daughter, Allegra, was actually playing violin in the Orchestra! What a small and amazing world!

Best Symphony ever. The oboe soloist was extraordinary playing the piece composed by Strauss. I loved the atmosphere and abience of the facility used. My friend really enjoyed the symphonies rendition of Beethoven. Jack Gallagher's "Berceuse", aka. "The Lullaby" was beautiful. Absolutely wonderful !!!

venue: excellent.
symphony: extraordinary.
randy jackson: so-so.
Jackson's channeling of R Plant gained momentum through the show, but he occasionally acted lost, as though he hadn't rehearsed and didn't know what was coming next -- led to an amateurish, disjointed presentation in places. can't blame the symphony for that.
Event was tasteful and rated G -- it was an introductory symphony performance for my 5, 8, and 10 year old kids -- the older two like to rock out already, so it was a way to show them the symphony without boring them with a Brahms concerto. 12 and under entered free to the lawn -- that's the ONLY way I could take the kids, and I'm grateful to nTelos for that pricing policy.
NTelos wireless staff was friendly and helpful. $8 for a draft beer, however, is not an optimized price. there's no way that nTelos couldn't make more money by dropping the beer price to $5-6. At $6 I would have probably had 2 or 3, for a total gross income of $12-18 for this customer. At $8, I would only treat myself to one. $8 for a 16 oz beer is more than a major league ballpark.

I gave my 17 year old son tickets for his 18th birthday. We had a great time. My son is musically inclined, (I can't carry a tune in a bucket) we are both classic rock fans, neither one of us has had much exposure to Classical Music. From the opening number to the closing we were enthralled. The music was captivating and original. The show was very entertaining and exciting. We both have a greater appreciation for the symphony, thank you.

I am a regular ticket holder for the VSO and to see and hear them play Led Zepplin was absolutely fabulous - got to see a different side to the VSO!
I would recommend that anyone who enjoys the music of Led Zepplin to see this show - you won't regret it! In fact, the next time it comes in to town, I'm rounding up all of my friends and we'll see it again!!

I really enjoyed the Music of Led Zepplin with the Virginia Symphony. The lead singer from Zebra sounds very similar to Robert Plant. The Virginia Symphony is astonishing and it is awesome to see them enjoy playing the music. I have seen this concert before when they played at the Chrysler Hall. I believe I would have enjoyed it better if it was at Chrysler Hall or an enclosed venue due to the acoustics but I still appreciated the awesome music that was played by one of my favorites, The Virginia Symphony.

It was a very powerful performance that took you towards a dark mysterious place and then to a new magical fantasy world. I learned to appreciate the music and how talented the performers were it literally took my breath away how the music played back and forth and what to expect.

I enjoyed it even more than I thought I would! Led Zeppelin had so many hits!!! The symphony did a great job with all of the songs, the lead guitarist was awesome, and Randy Jackson sounded very much like Robert Plant! In no way, were we disappointed! I'm very glad we went and highly recommend it!
