Venue
Great seats. The band and orchestra were great. Very entertaining. Just wish exit parking was better organized.
The lady who was suppose to scan our ticket was very rude to us. The seats are so close together that you are touching shoulders with the person next to you and there isn’t any room to walk down the rows without hitting other people. The orchestra was a little unorganized and didn’t sound as good as I was hoping.
The Christmas season with all its commercial aspects can be overwhelming to those of us who just wish to honor the birth of our Savior and coming King. The sacred music included in this event, especially the hallelujah chorus warmed my heart and made me just shout amen. The Children's choir was captivating and encouraging to see our youth so dedicated to the joy that music brings. A shout-out to Mike Havens as the electric guitar playing elf that demonstrated that great music can also be fun and entertaining. Our local maestro is indeed just that. Thank you to RSO for a wonderful evening.
The music selections were outstanding. All performers were very professional.
The sound was amazing and the musicianship was incredible! Thanks for a great time!
We are so happy we came for the first time and will return for the next show with the RSO. the music was fantastic and would recommend to all not to miss the next one.
Exceptional performance with John Denver. Made my day...
It was an awesome concert! The symphony orchestra sounded great with the Hotel California band. The Maestro was a hoot! I loved watching him! Everyone so talented!
Went to this concert because my wonderful girlfriend was playing with the orchestra and knew nothing about Neil Diamond...at least till the music started and I realized I knew some of the songs. Jay White really engaged the audience and had me standing on my feet and having a blast!!! Great job everyone from the orchestra to the band, the singer, and David Whiley...he is by far my favorite conductor. The energy he brings every time is incredible! I want his autograph!
As usual the RSO was outstanding accompanying Jay White and his Neil Diamond tribute band. The songs were wonderful and the evening about perfect. Unfortunately we didn’t think Jay White was up to the standards of the RSO. It seemed his group needed more practice and coordination, especially the keyboard artist who at times seemed to be playing a completely different piece. His occasional mistakes were glaring. Nevertheless, we’ll be back for the Eagles night! The RSO is too good to miss.
