    This was our first experience attending the Dubuque Symphony Orchestra Christmas performance and it was wonderful. It's great to know now that spending a night with this Orchestra for any event will certainly be worth it.

  • Wonderful way to start the holiday season!

    I really enjoyed this performance and so did my 11 year old son. I wish there was an option to have a meet and greet with the musicians before the show. My son would have loved to see all their instruments and ask them questions as he plays piano and violin. Maybe this can be offered as an add on ticket like a VIP ticket at other concerts. Great performance!

  • Heart warming performance

    by Toshi on 11/14/23Five Flags Center - DubuqueRating: 5 out of 5

    I was glad to have the program start off with “The Star Spangled Banner”. Everyone stood up and many sang along with the Corale. Maestro Intriligator introduced each number and the orchestra was in fine form. A great evening.

    The best ever holiday concert. Katy Richter was fantastic!

  • Great fun for the whole family

    by PianoMom on 12/7/21Five Flags Center - DubuqueRating: 5 out of 5

    My daughters and I really enjoyed this family holiday concert. We all got jingle bells to ring during the performance which was a lot of fun. The symphony sounded wonderful as did the children's choir. The only part that went south was the vocalist who was not up to standard. Other than that, the concert was great!

  • A bit disappointing this year!

    by SLP64 on 12/7/21Five Flags Center - DubuqueRating: 3 out of 5

    Was so looking forward to a traditional show again...was disappointed a bit that Mistro Intriligator wasnt there but his replacement was wonderful!!! The program wasnt as joyful as we had hoped and we thought the singer was just ok....woshed she would have sang more traditional music....

  • Symphony good but solo "vocalist" not

    by Sam on 12/7/21Five Flags Center - DubuqueRating: 3 out of 5

    Instrumentals were very good. But it feltuncomfortable, confusing and frankly insulting that someone who was tone deaf was selected to be passed off as solo vocalist. The performances without her were enjoyable but I don't know how the orchestra and choir could tolerate rehearsals with her. The audience only had to sit through it one evening.

  • Grace Clifford was AWESOME!!!

    by ljh on 11/5/19Five Flags Center - DubuqueRating: 4 out of 5

    I love Mendelssohn's violin concerto and Grace Clifford is one of the best young violinists I've heard and it was the best piece the orchestra did Saturday night. However, I think Mozart's first symphony is very rarely played for a reason - that it sounds like a symphony written by an eight year-old. I love the Surprise Symphony, but it was missing something. The music director certainly doesn't need advice from me, but if I were in charge, I would get Grace Clifford to commit to appearing with the orchestra every year as long as you can afford her.
