Akron Symphony Orchestra Tickets

What a wonderful evening! Took my teenage children and they enjoyed it and said they would like to go again next year!! I think we started a family tradition!

Amazing concert. So many talented soloists. Conductor was very personable and kept the show moving.

Very good performance. Would go to see again. My 9 year old son enjoyed also.

A great performance by an excellent pianist backed by an awesome orchestra !!!! We are very fortunate to have Christopher Wilkens as our conductor who brings insight and a wonderful performances to us. Thank you ASO !!!!

Joshua is such an amazingly talented and charming young man. I've seen him perform several times. The story of his Gibson ex-Huberman Stradivarius is so fascinating - I was a bit disappointed that the story was not shared in the program. Simply knowing that Joshua's violin is over 300 years old is breathtaking and noteworthy. (Not to mention it's value!)

Joshua Bell was wonderful, but he only played for a small part of the evening. We felt cheated.

Akron Symphony always does a lovely job. It was neat to see performers working alongside the symphony to further enhance the performance.

I am now expecting them to get better as the season progresses, though I've no doubt they'll outdo themselves each time.

Wonderfully reminiscent of John Denver! Took us back to his times.

The music presentation and the vocals were excellent. The video projection on the back screen was distracting and not always in sync with the musical presentation. The video introductions of the performers were dated and very distracting and lasted much too long into the musical presentation. The swirling blurry circles identifying the performers was outdated, kept appearing well into the program and belonged at a grade school presentation and not at an Akron Symphony music presentation.

THE AKRON SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA WAS AMAZING.IT WAS FUN TO WATCH THEM HAVE FUN WITH JIM CURRY AND HIS BAND PLAYING THE DENVER MUSIC. I HAVE EVERY SONG JOHN DENVER WROTE OR SANG! SO I WAS SURPRISED TO HEAR JIM SING " YELLOWSTONE".I DIDN'T KNOW HE WROTE AND SANG THAT IN TEXAS BEFORE HE DIED.

Excellent thoroughly enjoyed it. Love the music of John Denver . Orchestra was great with. Parking was easy to get to. Price within my budget.

Totally enjoyed Jim Curry and his wife and band as well as the orchestra. The videos really added to the experience. Loved the closeups of the eagle. I am glad I went to the concert. Thank you.

If you were a fan of John Denver's music, you must see Jim Curry. Akron Symphony added so much to the evening.

A truly wonderful production combining a superb symphonic ensemble with gifted vocalists, dancers, and acting. Each element of the production was solid, but combined they made for a very stirring performance. Technically, this show must have been a real challenge to execute. The number of participants seemed to almost outnumber the audience. Nonetheless, they were able to mount a near perfect production and I would recommend this production to anyone.

My spouse and I attended this event last week. Our seats were in the 1st balcony, about 5 rows back and just right to center. This production included an orchestra, the Akron Youth Ballet and area actors portraying the characters. The orchestra was set in the center of the stage and the actors flowed around the musicians as they acted out the play. The orchestra did a beautiful job with Mendolsson's music. I would have enjoyed just listening to it alone, but incorporating it with the actors and ballerinas made the show even better. The play part of the production was cut to 3/5th of the original lines, but this didn't hurt at all as it was still easy to follow. The actors did a wonderful job and the youth ballet dancers were a flowery addition as they played the forest fairies. The costuming of the fairies were very cute, although I have to say, the garb of the main players left a lot to be desired. Maybe because it was only a one night production they didn't feel the need to put a lot into the women's dresses, but they really hung terribly and were a distraction to the rest of the show. E.J. Thomas is beautiful, but the seats are not positioned well at all for seeing the stage. It seems no matter what, someone's head is blocking the stage. This was made worse because the players were forced to act mostly in the front part of the stage (since the orchestra had taken center stage) which was blocked even more.

From the orchestra, to the ballet, to the actors themselves, everything was simply superb! I was exceedingly pleased with the entire production. It truly was a wonderful evening.

The actors were fantastic. This is a very funny play when performed well, and the cast went all out for laughs. The symphony sounded great.

Wonderful music, fun play. The orchestra was great. The young actors were amateur, but they were young and charming.

Inexpensive tickets, great seats, amazing performance!!! I love what the Akron Symphony has done with their concerts and shows!!!
