If you have a need for speed then by all means attend Philippe Bianconi playing Rachmaninoff. Unbelievable piano playing. It wore me out and I was just watching.

A FANTASTIC EXPERIENCE HEARING THIS GROUP OF OUTSTANDING MUSICIANS PLAY BIG BAND SWING MUSIC--THESE GUYS HAVE BEEN TOGETHER FOR 20 YEARS AND ARE ALL AMAZING MUSICIANS!! THE LEADER/SINGER, SCOTTY MORRIS, HAS A VERY UNUSUAL STYLE AND VOICE WHICH IS OUTSTANDING.. THE BAND'S OVERALL STYLE AND MUSIC IS SOMETHING TO BE TREASURED IN TODAY'S WORLD OF LOUD AND OBNOXIOUS NOISE WHICH SOME CALL MUSIC--

BBVD's performance with the Virginia Symphony was incredible. BBVD's sound meshed seamlessly with they symphony to create an auditory extravaganza! BBVD was a treat to watch in person and I can't wait for the opportunity to see them again!

Even if this is not your type of music it is hard not to like this band. Any time you have good music played by great musicians you are going to have a great time. You can tell they enjoy what their are doing and the energy that flows off stage is amazing. There are plenty of songs for the audience to participate in "Minnie the Moocher", as well as many favorites from their albums played. This is one band that makes it hard for you to stay in your seat!! Most Excellent! I plan on seeing them every time they come to town! Plus having the VSO back them up made for some great music!

Music was fantastic, but the volume was impossibly high. The result was literally painful. Left at intermission, so perhaps this was corrected for the second half.
Voodoo Daddy is truly talented group, I recommend their music. If you're going to hear them live, take some unobtrusive ear plugs to be on the safe side.

The BBVD were best concert I have ever attended. I was concerned the venue would not allow their show to highlight the bands stage magic, but they brought the audience right into their music. The addition of the strings from the VSO was excellent.
I can't wait to see them again!

BBVD was unforgettable and so was the VSO playing along with them.
My family ranged in ages 28 – 61 and everyone was moving, bouncing and jumping around in their seats.
My daughter-in-law had never heard of BBVD before I played their CD for her last year. My son saw them in 1998 in Florida, and I have seen them 4 different times to include their Christmas show, and I was in the audience watching them live when they were on Dancing with the Stars. My husband even sings some of their songs.
My daughter introduced me to their music 12 years ago, and we played their Swing, Jazz, Big Band music at her wedding.
They are a MUST to see and to hear, and to see them play with our local Symphony Orchestra was just unbelievable.
All of the members of the group stayed late after the show and signed autographs for everyone. What a fantastic thing to do for us the fans.

Big Bad VoodDoo Daddy is a great group of musicians.Backed up by the Va. Symphony made it even better. The group played a few recognizable songs, but many were originals. Front man Scotty is a good vocalist and makes good intros for the songs. Dressed the attire of 1930's and with some slick moves, the group is very entertaining. For those not inclined to listen to jazz, go for the enjoyment of the talented muscians. The drummer is relentess and can really roll, even while wearing a suit and tie! The addition of the Symphony was seamless and really helped with the big band sound.

Gary Mauer's voice is nice enough, but all of the arrangements for Barry Manilow's songs were over-arranged, contrived and predictable. The entire show was a big disappointment and I am glad I didn't pay big bucks to attend this show.

Gary Mauer did a pretty good job with the music of Barry Manilow. Although his voice does not reach the deep tones of Barry's, he is an excellent singer and entertainer. The Virginia Symphony did an outstanding job with the music. Even though we were seated in the Orchestra section, Chrysler Hall is situated where all the seats have an excellent view. The only drawback to this event was that it is situated directly next door to the Norfolk Scope and if an event is taking place there, you have to compete for limited parking. We found out the hard way. Just plan to go early and have a good time!

A lovely concert, unified in that all four pieces had strong classical elements, but varied in that they spanned the 18th to 21st centuries. Haydn's Symphony 104 simply glistened with elegance and verve.
