4 of 5 stars Reviewed 6 May 2012

The CSO is one of the 5 or 10 best orchestras in the U.S., and they did not disappoint. Between the orchestral and the piano concerto, they included a short piece ("The Internet Symphony #1") designed to draw modern listeners into an appreciation for classical music. They also included multiple close-up camera angles projected onto the stage background to give... More

We have had season tickets for the past 13 years and every year they seem to present even better music. We particularly enjoy the Thursday Night concerts with the free meal beforehand. More

Incredible musicians, delightful visiting conductors (at least for this season, following Jaavo Parve's departure), fantastic program and a wonderful venue to hear the Orchestra at its best ensures you will love your evening (or afternoon) with the CSO. The recent addition of a short film of notes about the performance's music and/or guest artists has added a delightful and intimate... More

Music quality is incredible -- always. Guests are usually phenomenal musicians. I've only heard one singer I wasn't impressed with in years of attending, Nearly all the seats are good in Music Hall. More
