I didn't think I could love Star Wars or our Toledo Symphony more, but when the two got together last weekend-WOW! It was one of the most fun experiences I've had, and I would do it again if I get the chance, and highly recommend it to anyone who is able to go!
This was the first time that my children have ever seen the symphony, and what a wonderful way for them to enjoy it. I highly recommend it!
A chance to see Star Wars on the big screen is always a treat. I hope the TSO will perform the other two movies in the future.
A perfect way to spend May the 4th!!! And I would encourage all to attend the Toledo Symphony for future events!! The performance was seamless and exciting and engaging! Audience participation was electric!! It was my 11 yr old son’s first trip to symphony and he is excited for another. Just an outstanding evening!!! The MC was amazing and entertaining and the conductor drew the audience in and, it appeared, had as much fun as we all did!!!
"Ode to Joy" was an awesome experience for my husband and me. I especially enjoyed hearing the singing of the poem in German by the 1200 voice choir. Thanks to the Toledo Symphony, the building rocked with a beautiful, but strong, melodic sound that I have never experienced before. Beethoven would be proud. The next time we sing "Ode to Joy" in church, I will remember the joy that was mine Sunday.
It was good to have a choir . The symphony was strong and the soloist did an excellent job. We enjoyed the concert very much. Jerry and Pat.
Very enjoyable. Loved the choirs. It was powerful!
Ticket priced too high for a concert that lasted just over an hour. The symphony and singing was beautiful
The Ode to Joy event had marvelous potential which is why I attended. The thought of 1000 voices and a great orchestra teaming up to present one of my favorite pieces of music was titillating. First of all it was sad that there were so few others who had the same expectation. I don't think the Center was 1/4 full. I know the event was well publicized and you would think 1000 singers would attract a larger crowd if just for their friends and relatives. My real disappointment was the quality and volume of the electronically amplified sound in the Center. I had a balcony seat at the far end of the Center from the choir and orchestra. While the sound from choir and orchestra was not turned up like the typical rock concert, it was amplified enough to distort some of the vocal and instrumental sound. I enjoy concerts with live music for that reason. The music is live and you can better appreciate voices and instruments when the ear is receiving the music directly from the singer/instrument. You would think that 1000 voices should fill the Center with melody and not need amplification. The problem of the volume and distortion of the music was compounded by the mixing. Certain instruments, soloists, and sections of the chorus came through the two huge speakers overwhelming the others. While I continue to be impressed by the quality of music presented by the Toledo Symphony, and I was not disappointed Sunday, and I thought the choir was awesome, the amplifier took the Joy out of the event for me.
