New Jersey Symphony Tickets

This is an amazing combination. Hard driving rock with a backdrop of stringed beauty creates an experience that I hope will come around again.

Randy Johnson from Zebra did a good job of keeping up with Plant. Different twist in listening to Zep music, very enjoyable. NJPAC is a classy place and was a perfect setting for this type of venue.

I purchased these Tickets originally for my husband but to my surprise, I myself had such a GREAT time and so did he, so much so I got lucky ! Whoo Hoo !

My first time at the pak and first time seeing an orchestra was better than I ever imagined The venue and the performance was fantastic

The theater is lovely and my seats in the second-tier front enabled me to see the stage fine. The orchestra was spot-on; they performed well and the musical arrangement and conducting was great. The drummer, bass player, and guitarist were outstanding--the best thing about the performance. Lead singer of Zebra hit most of the high Plant notes but his carriage, performance and enthusiasm were somewhat lackluster and deflating (at least one hair-toss, crotch-grab or hand-in-air wrist twist would have gone far here). I liked that the performers followed the originals (time sigs, flourishes, notes, etc) without much deviation or interpretation. However, my main complaint was that it wasn't loud enough, not by a long shot. The audience needs to feel the music; have it move and surround them. We wanted a lush orchestral wave to rock us, especially for songs like "Kashmir." Orchestrating Led Zep tunes was a brilliant move but loses its power when we all have to strain to hear it. Many audience members down in front even called out between songs to turn it up but were unfortunately ignored.

Played really well, excellent coordination with the symphony, fun. Played mostly popular hits.

The show was amazing. A tight rock band playing songs almost note for not surrounded by full orchestra. The vocals were excellent and the light show was tastefully done. It was great to hear these songs live after all these years. The music lent itself well to the orchestra and the songs spanned their entire career. We'll never hear Plant sing the songs again (I don't blame him, he can't hit the notes anymore) so this was an unexpected pleasure. Highly recommend to any Zep fan of any age.

It was a great performance and would come again if offered. Usually do the "Classic Album live when they do the Led Zepplin show and this show was almost as good as them.

Great! Even better than I thought it would be! Randy jackson knows exactly how to play the part...

If you're a Led Zepp fan, and like the idea of different arrangements you'll enjoy the show. They play all the favorites and play them very well. My only drawbacks are that the performance is slightly slowed down a couple beats/minute, resulting in a few "flat" areas, and the audio mixing did not bring out the Violins/Brass/Woodwinds which was the main draw for me. Props to the conductor who wrote the arrangements, great ideas, and well done. More violins please - and bring them out with stronger audio pop!

Loved the Beethoven works but thought the works by Previn and Cone were unpleasant to the ear. Awful, in plain English.

Beethoven is always wonderful and the symphonies were payed superbly by the NJSO. The US debut of the Previn concerto for Cello and Orchestra was a real event. The music was unusually melodious for a modern piece, the young cellist was outstanding, as was the orchestra. To add to the excitement, Mr Previn, the composer was in the audience. An unforgettable concert!

This was by far the best concert we've ever attended! And we have been concert goers for many years. We enjoyed every minute of it as did the entire audience and the orchestra and conductor. Was sad when it had to end, after approximately four curtain calls. Bravo!

Wonderful concert. Introduction by conductor informative and helpful.

I took my Mother (70yrs old) and my daughter (13 yrs old) and we all enjoyed the concert very much. The conductor did a fantastic job explaining each piece to the audience. I would go back and see the NJSO anytime!

I'm just a simple college student watching the concert for the written concert critique. I really enjoyed the concert and hope to find similar concert sometimes soon.

I thoroughly enjoyed the 01/15 performance. It was fabulous.

The conductor was fantastic! He had a great sense of humor and really tried to tell the story to the audience of each piece before it was performed by the orchestra. I would definitely recommend this to anyone!

Delightful concert on a cold winter's afternoon. The Moldau, Fingal's Cave, etc. Very much enjoyed John Hancock's wonderful singing particularly on the Chausson - what a gorgeous piece. If only all the patrons had turned off their cell phone ringers. At least three went off during the concert. Argh!!!!

We attended the Sunday, Oct. 17 concert. The professionalism of the symphony members and guest artists was a true treat. To add to the overall enjoyment of the concert, the conductor explained each piece prior to our hearing it, supplying background information and musical nuances for which to listen. My companion and I were in another world consisting of nothing but glorious music by one of history's greatest composers.
