Music and singing were terrific We loved the program
This has excellent potential, but the execution made it much less than it could have been. The conducting, the symphony and the rock instrumentalists performed very well, but the vocals really drowned out the orchestra, and that resulted in losing the depth of sound that could have been much more dynamic. I was disappointed by the song selection and would have enjoyed a more symphonic-leaning mix. I would cut the awful Eurythmics portion entirely and add in some of the missing British invaders like ELO, Dave Clark 5, Moody Blues, Cream, the Kinks, Traffic... there's no shortage of great material from which to select.
Excellent! Fabulous evening, we will attend again in 2012!
I enjoyed this concert very much. Blake was excellent!!
Blake Shelton played a great set and the few songs that the Roanoke Symphony Orchestra played were very good also. Although many people there were visibly confused by the Symphony preforming.
