Amazing night of memories and music! Beautiful arrangements
We traveled from Chattanooga to Atlanta to attend the world premiere of “R.E.M. Explored” featuring The Atlanta Symphony Orchestra performing newly arranged material from the R.E.M. catalog, and then Mike Mills and his band and virtuoso violinist Robert McDuffie playing Mills’ Concerto for Violin, Rock Band & Orchestra” and let me tell you, it was one of the most amazing concerts I have ever seen! I felt absolutely privileged to have been in the audience.
The ASO is phenomenal, and Mike Mills' and Robert McDuffie's performance and interaction with them -- nothing short of magical.
REM Explored was a terrific adaptation for symphony. True to REM’s style and genre, yet different enough to be interesting and dynamic. Guest violinist was excellent. Score adaptation was also dynamic and inspiring. Recommended!
Such a great concept incorporating REM music into classical arrangements. Enjoyed the symphony as well as the guest performers. Great evening!
My husband and I really enjoyed our night at the symphony! Mike Mills and Robert McDuffie were icing on the cake. So fun to hear these songs in a new way.
The music was played well, technically but it just didn't move me.
I loved everything about this. I loved that the conductor was sensitive to the fact that the crowd was a mix of rock fans and symphony fans…and everyone in between. It was fun, educational, and breath-taking!
A real treat to experience musical masterminds unleash their creativity with fun, familiar sons
One the best evenings of 2022! Great Orchestration. Would highly recommend this if it ends up touring in other cities.
