Amazing!!! Especially in a place likeTown Hall. Much more intimate than a bigger venue. Hope he continues to play in places like Town Hall.
The performance was amazing. Wide range of musical genres covered. Even his band was surprisingly ovation-worthy between the drum and guitar solos. A must-see for any music fan of any age.
I attended David Garrett's concert in Keswick Theater in September with my husband and was absolutely taken by his performance and personality so much so that i had to go to New York Concert again. I also wanted to take my kids, 16 and 18 to see great performer. The reaction was amazing, they just loved the show and I am sure next time David Garrett is on the tour in US, they will go see him again. Thank you David for reaching out to young people and opening their eyes on the classical music.
As a violinist of 15 years myself, I was utterly blown away. David Garrett is a truly talented musician, especially for someone so young. His stage presence is amazing making it a pleasure to not just listen to him, but to watch him perform as well. His stories in between songs allow the audience into his life and into who he is as a person and a musician, making it a more personable concert going experience. One thing to note: almost the entire audience fell in the age group of late 30's/early 40's and above. As someone in her mid-20's I found this odd. With his blending of classical with rock and pop I would have thought his music would transcend to a younger generation, to his generation, to my generation. I think David Garrett holds mass appeal to the younger generations of violin players and is someone to look up to. This concert was truly outstanding and I hope he returns to the United States very soon.
I bought tickets for David Garrett after seeing him on the cover of the WETA guide for the August - After realizing I had missed the show, I went online and found him - listened to his music and saw him performing - looked to see if he was ever coming to town - Yes! Immediately I bought tickets. WOW! I brought my 17 year old daughter and a friend. We loved it - He seems to be as talented as Joshua Bell but a lot more hip. His music is so diversified and his band was incredibly talented which they would have to be to back him up. The crowd was pretty mixed (not as cool as him) but I guess his primary exposure on PBS would explain. Loved the venue at the Birchmere. Have a feeling that everyone will know who David Garrett is soon!
I went because my wife's sister wanted us to join her. I was suspicious (I love Joshua Bell and wasn't sure about the concept of rock violin) until he played the third piece: Bach's Air on G. The way he honors the original while incorporating modern elements is truly genius. My daughter who hates when I play classical music even loved the concert. This very young man is a virtuoso - playing two strings at once impeccably, playing demanding pieces without hesitation - what an amazing experience to watch him and hear the exquisite music he produces with his band.
We saw him last night, the show was great, he was fantastic, I really recommend it this show!!!
This show was AWESOME!! David Garrett is an amazing talent and a great entertainer. He was also great at talking to the audience between songs with funny storytelling. I will see him every time he comes into town.
Wonderful! The Led Zepplen song was my favorite! Amazing how David can play his own harmony and make it sound like are 2 violins on stage when it is only him.
David Garret is an unbelievable talent. Do not miss this show!
David garrett was amazing. He is the whole package-great musician, handsome and an awesome entertainer. I did not want the show to end. BRAVO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
My husband and I flew from Seattle to New York to see David Garrett in concert to celebrate our anniversary and it was an amazing show. It was a great mix of classical with his signature edgy rock pieces. The band backing him was incredible also. What a talented group of musicians. Be sure to see David Garrett when he comes to a city near you. If you are a connoisseur of great music/talent you won't be disappointed!!
david garrett is outstanding in every way! two hours and 20 minutes of a wide variety of outstanding music rearranged to be more outstanding! edgy, exciting, fun. his skill is amazing, and he is a delightful performer, charming the audience with just enough conversation, an obvious love for what he is doing, a wonderful repore with his musicians, who were also fabulous, especially his guitarist, markus wolf. i can't wait to see him again!
My husband and I DISCOVERED him on Channel 13. Could not believe what I was seeing. Bought tickets immediately. Gorgeous! Am I too old to be a groupy?
I surprised my daughter with tickets to see David Garrett, she was so happy to see him since she became a big fan of David Garrett when she saw him play at PBS, she also plays the violin and one day would like to perfect her skills and to play as beautiful as David Garrett.
He was amazing!!! From Classical to Michael jackson to Deliverance, to Summertime and West Side Story..He can do it all. Excellent show...
Words cannot explain the experience of being at Daivid Garrett's live concerts. This virtuoso violinist has an instant and universal appeal to audiences of all ages, musical taste or knowledge. His high energy performances are electrifying. His down to earth attitude refreshing. His story telling charming and funny. HE IS THE REAL THING. We are blessed to be able to hear this violinist. He is not just any violinist, HE IS DAVID GARRETT.
What a great show. Garrett and his band are a real talent.
