We had great seats, the participation songs at the beginning and end add a great touch. The symphony as a whole was a great experience with beautiful music and talent.
It was wonderful! Joyful, and I appreciate the conductors explanations about the pieces and why he chose them.
Just a perfect evening of incredible music and song. It’s great to have this level of entertainment locally.
First of all, my husband and I drove from Palmdale to Ventura just to see the concert, we had both gotten a cold, but decided that we would go anyway ((masked up and hit th door), as we did not want to miss Jennifer, and we have no regrets whatsoever. The whole concert was wonderful: the venue was lovely, the children's choir, the ballet dancers, the orchestra was superb and, again, Jennifer really set the night straight. I'm so glad we went, under the weather and all.
Music & musicians were fantastic!! Light and fun and positive & whimsical and cheerful!
It was unexpectedly fantastic!! I was so impressed!! Wonderful playing of music and choice of music!! They are sooo talented it was so fun & lighthearted, cheerful, positive music and the piano player was fantastic!!
It didn't feel Christmassy like I had hoped. No festive holiday stage decorations. Show felt thrown together. Many people seated around us left during the intermission and never came back. It wasn't the performance of the orchestra but more the content of program that was not very appealing.
My son and I had a wonderful time. The musical rendition and narration were outstanding. We plan to attend more concerts in the future.
It was a joy to see New West Symphony perform Four Seasons. The perfect artistry brought tears to my eyes many times. The reading of the poems that inspired Vivaldi's symphonies was an added bonus, and the music embodied each season--I could hear the poem in each piece. It was magical, moving, perfect.
Everyone was so talented & they couldn’t have captured Vivaldi better. The soloist was so incredible, it was east to imagine being in the room when Vivaldi first saw the concertos in his head. The conductor had an amazing voice & it made it special that he read each sonnet with each season. The intro pieces were new to me but I loved them just as much! Great way to build up to the main act. :)
