Asheville Symphony Tickets

This was a beautiful event. The symphony performed so exceedingly well, and Chee-Yun was out of this world phenomenal! Brilliant!

First time ever at a symphony. I am a rock/country/blues concert fan. This was amazing! Wife and i both enjoyed the evening! I don't think I will be giving up my regular music but I am very happy that we went to see this type of an event. Always wondered what it would be like, now i know.

Not bad. Only fell asleep about 3 times. Acoustics are very bad. Otherwise exceptional talent.

Excellent concert. Emanuel Ax did the Mozart Concerto No. 14 (K. 499) for piano and orchestro, and he and Orion Weiss played the Concerto No. 10 (K. 365) for two pianos and orchestra. The Asheville Symphony also did the Sinfonia in D Major by Antonio Salieri (q.v. Amadeus the play or movie) and Symphony No. 5 by Schubert, which is a tribute to Mozart. So all late 18th century with a Mozart connection. Ax and Weiss received lengthy standing ovations and performed an encore.

concert was very good , but the side seats in this facility are not. Very hard to view the stage from side seats.

Denk's musicianship is extraordinary. We've enjoyed his performance immensely. The Bartok's 3d piano concerto is extremely demanding and presents the biggest challenge for both the pianist and the orchestra. We've witnessed a true masterpiece!

It was an incredible performance! Denk was amazing.

Wonderful music. We loved every minute. Thank you!

Fabulous. Mariangela is one of the finest pianists performing today.

Orchestra was magical. Way too hot and left early.

First time in the US Cellular Center, We had a wonderful view of front row and Elena was Amazing!!!! But we were so close we couldn't see the rest of the musicians. It was wonderful to listen for all the different instruments that might have been performing but wish i could have seen more of the stage. Performance was wonderful and would definitely recommend and would attend future events. Nice night out and now I'm familiar with venue and will be able to enjoy additional shows in the future.

This was my second year to attend this incredible event. Both years I have taken one of my local grandchildren to experience both the amazing music and overall sense of wonder that marks this event. This year I took my eleven year old granddaughter, who heard the music of the "Messiah" for the first time in her life. I watched as she sat, transfixed and enthralled. I "heard" it new through her. And it was a very poignant moment, for her grandfather and I had sung this piece every one of our four years in college. The enthusiasm that the Symphony and the Chorus brought to the event was palpable throughout the auditorium, and the attendees were fully THERE throughout. Finally, the conductor , Daniel Meyer's enjoyment of this event was evident, both as he led the wonderful symphony and when he "conducted" the audience's participation.

What an Unexpected Surprise, what a Fine Evening it was ~ thank you, Asheville Symphony!

The Part and Ralph Vaughn Williams works were well matched in the same concert. The Part was performed well as was the Memorium to Benjamin Britten. The Requiem conveyed deep emotion with sad undercurrents. wonderful performances

Having attended classical and opera performances in San Francisco, Chicago, New York, Washington DC, Philadelphia, Boston, St. Louis, Europe and many other venues, I was amazed that there was no control in Asheville over the continuing late entrance of so many people. I was near a stairwell and could hear talking in the hallway downstairs, as well. There were only 2 ushers, who could not keep up with the flow of at least 100 latecomers throughout the concert hall. The first composition began without regard to the entering crowd (as a conductor I contolled this aspect of the beginning of a performance, and it is easy to also instruct the ushers on the protocol). The house lights should be kept up until the doors are closed, and then begin the performance. Simple. The first composition was elegant, and nuanced, and I simply closed my eyes to appreciate it as best I could, considering the people groping their way in the dark and several with the flashlights of the ushers, all the while trying to block out the talking from the hallway and stairs. The first piece was just concluding as the last of the audience members settled into their seats

I was looking forward to listen this Mozart's masterpiece in a live perfomance setting after listening many digital, vinyl and radio performances. Of course the quality of sound is mind blowing and worthy driving 130 miles to get to the concert. I was, however dissapointed with the director's approach to interpret the Requiem in such a casual, almost nonchalant way. There is so much drama and sublime beauty in this composition that it ought to be perform with a sense of awe and reveration . You cannot feel it in the Asheville Symphony performance.. Too fast (the violin section was sometimes behind), with no "gravity", which converted the 3/4 parts into a wiennese waltz. Pluses: decent choir, very good soprano and excellent alto.

It was like getting to slip into another world for a night, it was quite nice! Tim Fain was fantastic! ! ! !

We very much enjoyed the concert. In addition to the Tchaikovsky music, there was a story-music from a French composer that they did also, which they brought in an actress for to read the story between movements. It really gave more meaning to what you were hearing. Then, the piano player was a young man from Russia. He was absolutely amazing! Not only did he play beautifully, but he played all from memory! It was wonderful. I think it's great that Asheville can get people like that to come in to enhance their already excellent performance! We are already signed up for the next concert!

Joyce Yang was such a joy to watch. She plays with such feeling and love of music. We completely enjoyed every minute of her performance.

Outstanding performance with very good musicians indeed.
