This was an incredible experience and I am overjoyed to have witnessed the performance by these talented individuals. I laughed, I cried, and was on the edge of my seat at times moving through this emotional experience with the passion each musician poured onto the stage. Looking forward to experiencing their work in the future!
First of all, it was an absolute delight.....the sound, the majesty and the beautiful competence of all were a sight for sore eyes. So grateful that we have such a stellar orchestre in our community. Much Gratitude.
The singers were amazing. The orchestra music was great. Overall a great evening. I had trouble staying in my seat. I wanted to get up snd dance to the music.
Fantastic evening, with two powerhouse women with the additional bonus of the Asheville symphony! Live music was brilliant. All safely protocols observed. I loved the volunteers wandering around asking politely, Not to video from the phone.. such a spectacular evening unfortunately I felt it ended too soon. Starting at 8pm 8.15 after introductions, the intermission after 40 mins, which was 20 mins and finally another 40 mins to finish before 10 pm. We had paid over sticker price and felt a slight disappointment it didn't go on longer.. we did love the evening..
Soul music was great. The song selection was easy to sing along too.
Fantastic vocalists and stellar orchestral musicians hit it out of the ball park on New Years Eve in Asheville!
Much better than anticipated. Symphony was great as were the singers.
Spectacular- The music and the featured guest were fabulous. I wish they had played longer- I could have listened for hours!
This was our first time seeing the Asheville Symphony and they were excellent. The guest singers, Morgan James and Erica Gabriel, were outstanding. Their renditions of some of the classic soul songs honored the original queens of soul who recorded them. The staff of the auditorium were helpful and friendly. The auditorium was nice, but lots of peeling paint on the ceiling above the stage detracted from the experience.
What amazing musical talent! A symphony orchestra that can switch up the genre to soul and then take it to the bridge! I had the best time! I am now a fan of this symphony and will definitely be back for any upcoming performances. And the safety protocols were spot on! Thank you for this wonderful way to welcome a new year!
The venue has this old feeling not quite par with any great event. It definitely can use renovations asap. As for the legroom space, for anyone over 5'9'', the experience is very uncomfortable because the legs can barely fit in. That said, the quality of the musicians was great and the program was well selected and the reason for only 4 stars has nothing to do with them.
The show with the symphony was great. The show was interactive and the music was great. The concessions were a different story. This was New Years Eve and there was only one concession area that was extremely slow. We have been to concerts here before and they have had 3 times more stands open. Many people left the line because it was so slow. We ended up not getting a drink because intermission was over.
The combination of the expert symphony with the skilled “Beatles” made for an excellent rendition of Beatle music. My mind did not wander once as the performance was so captivating. Please have another New Years Sgt. Pepper evening!
The concert was outstanding and a wonderful respite from the turbulent politics currently in the USA. The Beatles group was very authentic and entertaining. The audience was very dignified and appreciative. When the final song was played the audience held their smart phones up and mimicked stars in the sky, A beautiful way to start 2020.
This concert was a surprise to all of us. We expected to hear the Asheville Symphony play all Beatle music, which they did but with a twist. The symphony actually accompanied the Beatle tribute band, Classical Mystery Tour. It was wonderful! The tribute band is very good with excellent costumes to add to the illusion. Our group of 4 enjoyed the concert very much. We were right there with all the Hey Jude cell phone "lighters." Of course the Asheville Symphony was wonderful as always. I want to attend every concert with the Asheville Symphony playing "back-up." An A+ evening for us and I think for the entire auditorium.
Asheville Symphony: Classical Mystery Tour - Nye Beatles Concert on New Year's Eve 2019.
Truly amazing performances by both the "Beatles" and the Asheville Symphony. It could not have been more perfect or fun. What a great way to bring non-symphony goers into the Symphony fold with a concert layered on top of the Symphony.
The symphony was absolutely amazing. Such talent in our wonderful Asheville area. One of the most relaxing, Memorable events I’ve been to in a long time. Well worth the price and there is not a bad seat in the house
The music performed by the Asheville Symphony Orchestra was beautifully flawless. My daughter and I were very impressed with the selections. We were there for "Exotico!", and Blake Pouliot was fantastic! We were in a room full of great people all enjoying wonderful music. I couldn't have asked for a better evening.
The Asheville Symphony is delightful. Great conductor and wonderful musicians. They performance is always a treat
