An hour of a pure joy of classic music in an exquisite venue. Top notch performance and i really liked the short explanation and story of the music piece given by a performer.
Well, I was expecting the philharmonic and this wasn't it, a better name would have been concert with a few members of the philarmonic or concert by a quartet of NY Philarmonic orchestra. Yes, they were talented and it was good but still is was very disappointing how they led us to believe it would be something that it wasn't.
I attended your event with my six-year-old, and we were both impressed with the quartet and loved the music. The choices were good, and the show lasted a perfect amount of time honestly, a well planned event, and as an enjoyable evening-five stars.
Brooklyn got an orchestra we got a string quartet - they were very good - but a lot less than I was expecting!
we had a fantastic time at the quartet performance. the gilded theatre was beautiful.
I thought it was going to be a Father's Day Concert but I was mistaken . It was a Juneteenth Concert. I learned about Nigerian based tradition of “libations” and blessed our ancestors who had gone before . I enjoyed the jazz group from Susan Wagner High School . The girl singer was incredible .This was the best part of the day for me . II did not care for the Wynton Marsalis piece . It was atonal and very long . People were walking out We waited for the Sing-a-Long. But no one sang along , because although the words were written in the program, without lights ,we could not read the words . I think the Philharmonic should have been more forthcoming and told us what the focus of their presentation was going to be . Perhaps there would have been a more diverse audience to enjoy the presentation on Juneteeth . I brought friends with me who felt the same way . I am grateful for all the years that the Philharmonic has come to Staten Island , I appreciated the planning and work that went into this presentation . It just was not what I expected .
My husband and I loved the NY Philharmonic Free Concert in SI. The music was lovely. We felt so at peace. The musicians were absolutely fantastic. It's amazing to see such talent. We were so impressed with the young people that wrote their pieces. You can't beat the free admission. We got in early and sat in the first row on the mezzanine. We have been to other concerts in the past and intend to continue going to them. We especially love the Doo Wop concerts. Please continue to provide these wonderful concerts. Looking forward to the next visit. Thank you
Lovely Father's Day concert with the Ny Phil Brass. Street free, great venue, great sound.
The New York Philharmonic's concert was a real treat! It was a delightful blend of classical and modern music so there was truly something for everyone. The fact that it was free just made it more enjoyable; these concerts are a wonderful summertime tradition that I hope continues for many years to come.
Beautiful theater!. Great music! Magical afternoon!
