Loved the Grand Rapids Symphony Chorus performance on Friday night at Devos. It was simply outstanding! Loved the Dan Forrest Requiem for the Living! It was done with such musical artistry! So happy to be at this performance!
I never knew that I was missing boy band members singing boy band songs with the backing of a full symphony orchestra in my life, but I am so, so glad it exists. The energy was high and I had the time of my life!
From the sparkly outfits to the on point group of songs that was done, it was AMAZING!!! Definitely go of it comes anywhere close to you, it’s must for all boy band fans
I haven’t had that much fun at a show in a long time! I didn’t know what to expect with a symphony backing my favorite boy band tunes, but it was amazing! And the symphony got in on the fun, too. Everyone was having a good time, singing and dancing along with the guys. I only wish the show was longer — it’s 45 minutes, 15 minute break, then another 30-45 minutes.
It was a nice show. However, the symphony was drowned out by the band in front of them making it sound like a regular concert. You could hear the symphony when it first started up the songs after that the drums, guitar players and keyboard player took over, along with the singing. Would have been nice to hear the music sung to the symphony playing.
Took my mom and boyfriend for the first time for all of us. It definitely was a great experience and would love to come back to hear Beethovens older symphonies.
My wife and I saw Eileen Ivers with the Grand Rapids Symphony. This was our first time seeing a show at Devos and we were very impressed! It was a very entertaining show. Eileen and her band were incredible and the symphony added the perfect harmony and atmosphere. We were in awe of all the talented musicians. The conductor was entertaining as well. We will definitely be back. Thank you GR Symphony!
I had a wonderful time. The performers are so talented and made my first symphony experience so wonderful. Thank you!
Very thankful for this event and loved it! My only critique would be next time turn the actual movie down. I would have liked to hear the symphony more than the movie. I greatly enjoyed they still balanced the idea and had quit moments for them to play for us. Bringing the original drummer on stage was definitely a highlight! Over all loved it and very thankful I got to experience a unique showing.
So great to see this movie with live music...and to have the living drum join in
