The orchestra and singers were amazing and dynamic...Despite the fact that it was not a play, the words and music helped shape the imagery of the events in my mind and I was able to see the story all play out. I thoroughly enjoyed the talents of the wonderful cast and immediately rushed home and purchased a ticket for the following day. Bravo!
It was a thrill to experience this masterful oratorio; to feel the passion and drama unfold in a community that played a role in the transformation of so many brave and determined souls. Superb voices, individually and collectively, intertwined with compelling symphonic performance. Bravo!
Outstanding show - and being in the small 'neighborhood' venue it was literally like being in the orchestra. The attendance was slim - so lots of folks missed out. If there's a next time we'll definitely go again - recommend others do too!
The Columbus Symphony Orchestra summer concert in Powell was amazing! The music was beautifully performed. The mood was informal and entertaining. I highly recommend the CSO to everyone who loves music.
We love the symphony and all the patriotic songs as that is why we went. The fly-over was awesome and the fireworks were fantastic. I brought my 90 year old father, an Air Force Veteran, thinking that Flight One was something completely different. We love all things Air Force, but that performance we all could have done without. We just weren't there to hear 80's rock music. A picnic at the Commons is exactly what we love to do on a weekend. Keep playing and we'll be there.
The concert was very good, the music was easy to hear from the lawn general admission. Wish there were more food options available. The fireworks were very impressive. The lawn area was very clean and we had plenty of room to sit.
Loved the flyover x 4 Loved the patriotic music, salute to military in the crowd Fireworks were awesome Loved 1812 overture with fireworks booming!
Great show my husband would have liked more patriotic music though he loves it since it was the holidays! 80s could have been a little less since we were celebrating the 4 th of July plus he was in the Marines too
CSO is awesome. Made special with airforce fly by's. Songs by Flight One added zest to the concert, plus great fireworks display!
Enjoyed the evening and the atmosphere of the commons. I wish there had been more 4th of July type music the Broadway selection could have been more towards the military style of a play. Air Force Band was outstanding but once again the show was called the Patriotic Pops not the 80 Rock & Roll. The Fireworks were outstanding Thanks for a fun evening
Windborne plus the CSO were in fine form playing all the Pink Floyd hits. Although Randy Jackson's voice was straining at times the rest of the performance was exceptional. The lead guitarist pulled off David Gilmore's riffs with ease and added some nice solos. The sax and backup singers were spot on. A nice night at the Columbus Commons.
Based on previous Picnic with the Pops experiences, I was really excited for this show. However, the lead singer was a meh singer who messed up several lines of various songs. Their selection of songs was confusing. (Why would you end the concert on Run like Hell? Are you telling us all to go away?) The band completely drowned out the CSO musicians, so you lost the whole marriage of rock and orchestra. Then, the band gave their sax and guitar players long solos near the end of the show, that were not from any Pink Floyd song. Was their something in their contract where they had to let them do that? Was the band unaware that many, many Pink Floyd songs have legendary solos in them? It's a shame when you go to a Picnic with the Pops show and the best thing you can say about it is that the weather was really nice for a picnic.
The venue is awesome and the symphony was outstanding!Two criticisms- #1- get the volume right on the lead guitarist’s amp. So many Floyd songs have high pitched guitar solos that were unfortunately barely audible despite the guitarist ‘s tremendous ability. #2- sadly, the lead singer was probably the worst one on stage. Keep searching
I am a huge fan of Pink Floyd and love all their music. The orchestra did a wonderful job of background, but unfortunately the PF tribute band was not that good !! There were some songs that I didn't even recognize and I've been listening to PF music for 40+ years !!! There are definitely better PF tribute bands out there that you can spend your money on that won't disappoint.
Pink Floyd tribute band and orchestra did a great job- but way too much going on in the back . Folks standing, talking, kids running around. Volume far too low to hear from a distance. For real music lovers - pay extra and get at a table!!!
Was hoping for a longer concert than 45 mins for the prep work that went into getting multiple kids there and set up. Said it was supposed to last at least an hour and I feel like there were maybe 6 songs played.
Fantastic evening with Joanna Frankel and Il Cannone, it doesn’t get much better than this! Hope they put out a recording of that show
Mayor Bucci, along with the talented violinist who serenaded our ears on Il Cannone brought an authentic Italian feel to the symphony
The sold-out SisterCities CSO concert was once in a lifetime experience. Everything was perfect from the ornate gold bench (upon which the Paganini violin came out of its case) to each beautifully played piece. I loved the opening with the Italian then US national anthems & the speech by the Mayor of Genoa. The pomp & circumstance of the handover of Il Cannone to Johanna Frankel suited the importance of the instrument. She played all the right music pieces beautifully. Thank you CSO & Genoa!
Joanna's performance, Orchestra performance, both mayors speech, and everything else were so wonderful!
