Quad City Symphony Orchestra Tickets

Absolutely amazing! The sights and sounds filled our senses and got us in the holiday spirit. We REALLY enjoyed the show!

What an amazing performance by the orchestra and the choirs. I would highly recommend to anyone.

A great night and concert. Beethoven was best and I really went to slooshy a bit of the Ludwig Van, but all was very good. I remember Frank Zappa as a great composer and musician and I think he might have come close to Bancks. I truly mean that as a compliment.

The music of the symphony was beautiful, expressive for all threes pieces. The duet of violin and viola was good but I wouldn't rush to see them again.

I was overall disappointed in the concert. I would have liked to hear more Christmas music done by the symphony and with the two choirs. While Debbie Boone is a good singer and an accomplished artist, I did not pay to see a "Debbie Boone" concert. Her venue of music is not what I am interested in hearing

The only thing amiss was the fact that with our seating we could only see half of the screen of pictures.

First half felt more like a pitch for her new CD. Not enough Christmas. We went a couple years ago to the one with the skaters. That one was awesome.

Title says it all. We were disappointed in that 80% of this Holiday Pops was a Debby Boone concert. I'm sure Debby Boone fans were satisfied, but if you attended this event thinking it was going to be at least a 50/50 Holiday Pops/Debby Boone event, you were wrong. Overall for a Pops event, it was just too slow with Debby Boones performance. I can say this since we have attended the past 5-6 of these yearly Pops concerts. That high center screen is located in a poor place, as most lower bowl patrons view is blocked by the lights above the stage and the upper bowl patrons view is blocked by several cables & wires. These iWireless events need 2 screens, one on each side of the stage.

Appreciate having a reduced senior ticket Wish the ice skating was still part of the program!

We enjoyed the concert, especially the second half.

Quite honestly I felt that the concert featured Debbie Boone way too much. I came wanting to hear a lot of great Christmas Music and get into the spirit. I really wanted to hear more from the Presbyterian Choir and felt the sound when they did preform was way to low. I really did not come to hear about Rosemary Clooney, Debbie's Family, nor there tours together. Just my opinion, I'm sure many enjoyed Debbie.

The Holiday Pops have long been a family tradition. The symphony, sanctuary choir and children's chorus never fails to impress. This uear's guest artist, Debby Boone, was wonderful and I thoroughly enjoyed her performances in both the first and second half of the show. However, the sanctuary and children's choirs were underutilized

Having never been to a Quad City Symphony concert before, I was pleasantly surprised by the talent and emotion displayed by these fine musicians! I will most definitely be purchasing another ticket for their next show!!

The music of Samuel Barber, written for whom? Its episodes of knife-stabbing dissonance in the higher registers make me acutely uncomfortable. Perhaps an intensely painful passage is a clever device in musical theory. Perhaps a large chunk of alum in an entree is a clever means to awaken a diner's attention, but it does not please. The orchestral Strauss was very pretty. And as the maestro noted, it wove together seamlessly the sounds of all the orchestral sections. The playing impressed even this ignoramus. The passage of theme among the sections was almost unnoticeable. Such a large number of short works was a little frustrating, generating so many starts and stops. A symphony pleases this listener better. The soprano was a little thin up in the second balcony. She likely has a very pretty tone, but the music given her did not aim at prettiness.

Two very fine musicians played difficult music to an appreciative audience in a strange room. Stravinsky and Prokofiev followed by Beethoven is not typical programming anywhere but especially rare in the Quad Cities. Marian Lee, piano, and Naha Greenholtz, violin, performed with knowledge, sympathy and grave beauty the works of these three composers, each an edgy iconoclast in his own time. The Figge lobby was probably never designed as a concert hall and the acoustics favored the piano's sonics to that of the violin. Nevertheless, the performers played with great respect for each other and formed a sound that was both contemporary and sympathetic to the time period of the compositions. The emotional force of all three pieces left no room for dreamy reverie, demanding attention to the wealth of bristling and profound ideas. The fine musicianship and the engrossing complexity of the compositions will stay with me for a long time.

This was my first orchestra. I went only because I needed to for my music appreciation class and I wasn't really excited about it. But when I got there and was seated I started to become more interested. By the time the lights went down I was fully ready to experience it. And I truly enjoyed it.

Aside from the lady humming behind me, I thoroughly enjoyed the first half. I had already seen TSO twice, so even though I enjoyed the music, the second half was a repeat of songs I have heard before. I felt bad for the youth orchestra. Being that this was their first appearance at a Pops concert, I could not hear them perform. Only watched as they moved their bows. I really, really miss the ice skating. I spoke with an acquaintance the next day and she hated the second half. Said it felt like she was at a rock concert.

The second half was outstanding!! The upbeat & percussion made it an exciting & uplifting. I would enjoy future concerts like this in the future.

The entire show was awesome. The choirs were awesome and the orchestrs were great. The Mark Woods Experience was beyond words.

Great venue, great musicians, unforgettable concert! One of the most unique and intense concerts I have ever seen.
