Hershey Symphony Tickets

Very Enjoyable,,Most Professional and First Class !

An amazing night of exceptional Broadway talented singers perfectly paired with an outstanding volunteer orchestra was enjoyed by all. Two standing ovations expressed sincere appreciation for hours of magic delivered in stellar fashion. Looking forward to the next opportunity to be consumed with wonder and transport to Broadway in our neighbor in Hershey!

The Hershey Symphony played Broadway songs along with stars from Les Mis and Phantom of the Opera! Craig Schulman, Gary Mauer and Rita Harvey were spectacular! First class all the way!

The Hershey Symphony was wonderful and the three Broadway guest singers we very talented. I live nearby and feel we are so lucky to have this available to us locally. I will be going to many more of these events in the future.

This was my first time at the Hershey Symphony. I was very impressed. Maestra Sandra Dackow explained each Concerto and Symphony before it was performed. If you have not been to symphony before you will be able to understand. Some of the musicians have been performing with the symphony for 20+ years. All volunteers. It was an enjoyable event.

It's great to see so much local talent. The winning student was phenomenal!!!

We really enjoyed the Oct. 12, 2012 concert. "Volunteer" or "amateur" severely diminishes the quality of the performance of this orchestra. The music was professional quality all the way! We especially enjoyed Dr. Dackow's enthusiastic description of the composer and his music. She laid the framework for a night of total enjoyment!

We thoroughly enjoyed the concert and appreciated the fun and easy way Steve interacted with the audience.

The Hershey Symphony and the big band group were the perfect, balanced and enthusiastic partner to Steve Lippia, Las Vegas performer and Jersey native who owned Sinatra's songbook but put his personal touch on standards and lesser known ballads, as well. A terrific voice. Mom, who saw Sinatra and other giants perform live several times, was thrilled. Steve Lippia gave credit to the legendary arrangers who brought those songs to life. Dr. Sandra Dackow's spirited conducting was a joy. Only quibble was that the mikes for the drum set and horns were a little much, at least for the front 15 rows. All in all, though, it was a great night of one highlight after another. Well done!

What can be said?? If you Like, no Love the Frank Sinatra it was the best performance. The Hershey Symphony performed flawless, The Big Band brought you back to days you wish you could return to. Best of all, best of all! All you had to do was close yours eyes and you WERE there in the presence of OL' BLUES EYES, Frank Sinatra. Thanks Steve!!!!!!!

I absolutely couldn't stop grinning!!! The Hershey Big Band played a surprise number at the beginning of the second half. Their pianist was extraordinarily talented. She and Steve Lippia performed "Send in the Clowns" as a duo. I got to talk to the Big Band conductor, the pianist, and Steve Lippia himself in the lobby after the show! I LOVED IT!!!

The piano was my favorite. This was the first time I had seen a symphony, the second for my husband. We enjoyed it very much. The American composer was much more dramatic which we both loved.

What an amazing performance, not to be missed! Do not pass upon this show

The three phantoms were phan-tastic!Hershey Symphony was outstanding. Loved it!

This was a great show. It was a lot better then other concerts I have seen previously with Broadway stars..

For an all volunteer orchestra, the Hershey Symphony is both amazing and delightful. Maestra Sandra Dackow is an incredible conductor. Combine them with 3 highly rated Broadway and off Broadway talents like Cris Groenendaal, Kevin Gray, and Craig Schulman, each of whom played The Phantom in Phantom of the Opera, and you have a performance never to be forgotten! This is the second year that the Hershey Symphony has brought this group to Pennsylvania, and we will definitely buy ticketes every time there is an opportunity.

A Celebration of Love was a most enjoyable evening. The program included a good variety of music presented masterfully by the Hershey Symphony. Mr. Longacre's singing was excellent and the inclusion of the Hershey Symphony Strings for one song was very special. Indeed, hearing these young people play causes one to feel good about the future of great music in our area.

I felt that the orchestra was more than excellent. But the music selection was not so much holiday. At least half was classical music, and another quarter obcure holiday tunes, and a quarter recognizable holiday music. Maybe the idea was to show the orchestras classical music abilities, but I think that misses the mark for much of the audience, and for repeat paying customers . There was a creative medley, a great teen solo on the piano (but not christmas music) and 100 guest students playung with the orchestra what was a great way to introduce them to an audience, The venue was beautiful and almost worth the price of admission in itself, with its restored art deco flavor. But I think a few areas of customer service need attention. It snowed that night, and the sidewalks and street had not been salted until after the concert. A block plus long line in the cold waiting to get in was not fun. Especially since most already had their tickets and did not need to be in the same line as tose few who were purchasing their tickets. Very disorganized. There wAS NO ONE HANDING OUT PROGRAMS IN THE ENTRANCE LINE WHERE i WAS, SO THOSE IN THAT LINE HAD NO INFORMATION OR SONG WORDS TO THE SING ALONG. . In addition, there were maybe 20 rows of reserved front seats. Reserved for who? About half remained empty after the concert started.

This concert made for a memorable evening. Good music sung well with a little humor thrown in. The tenors were powerful in their stage presence and voice. The orchestra did a fabulous job. My only complaint is that it left me wanting more. I hope they do this concert again in this area.

This was an unforgetable evening. The three Phantoms were incredibly entertaining - beautiful voices, professional, classy. The Hershey Symphony was at their best. I've been humming the songs since the performance.
