Chamber Orchestra of the Triangle Tickets

The almost entirely Beethoven program was magical and inspiring. Even compared to major Symphony Orchestras in Boston, San Francisco, New York, and elsewhere, the usual orchestra and conductor were magnificent. They more than made up for their size with passion and outstanding musicality in Symphony #5. Every note was perfect and the players and conductor were in complete unison. AND THEN Piano Concerto #3 began with guest artist Nathan Lee who is a prodigy in the ranks of Mozart and Midori. He actually BECAME the music, with musical maturity well beyond his years (now only 17). Bravo, COT!! Bravo, bravo, Nathan and thank you for the beautiful encore!!!

Music was amazing but the seats are tiny here. Theater was built in 1926 so it was expected. I'm 6'5" and was extremely uncomfortable.

Excellent performance. The Chamber Orchestra Musicians are highly skilled and produced. an incredible sound. The program was interesting in it's romantic variability and the conductor did a great job explaining the various works with wit and enthusiasm. The young emerging artist, Paul Huang, made our hearts soar. It was such a fun afternoon.

What a wonderful concert! The venue - Carolina Theater in Durham - was great as usual. Crowd was appreciative. And the music was superb. One thing I really enjoy is when the conductor talks about the concert. You learn so much more about what's to be played and what it means. This is a benefit of going to these smaller concerts (along with a $20/ticket price!) as opposed to those in a much larger venue and with a larger audience.

Seating and acoustics were fantastic and the program well constructed. Introduced to Micheal Hayden brother of Franz Joseph. Music was well conducted by L Muti, the Chamber Orchestra couldn't have sounded better. Thoroughly enjoyable.
