Unsolicited Concert Reviews
from concert attendees
I expected to hear a community orchestra and choir, what I heard was a performance that was better than most professional performances I have attended - Church

We appreciate so much getting to hear the Messiah presented so beautifully last evening.  The conductor, Xun Sun, the orchestra, the choir, so elegantly and spiritually gave honor to the Lord Jesus Christ through Handel's Messiah.  Thank You. Ken and Roxye Jelden

This amateur orchestra rivals any professional orchestra in the world...who needs the Utah Symphony? - Bateman

I was completely astounded by what I heard - Takewun

The brass section is every bit as good as the brass section of the Chicago Symphony Orchestra - Harrisell

The balance was perfect between the choir and the orchestra and they matched either so well - Frederick

Is this the Mormon Tabernacle Choir? - Swenson

I have seen the pre-production release of the DVD and I wonder why PBS has never thought of this!  If OSU copyrights this unique viewpoint, they'll make a million on it when the major studios catch on! - Samuelson
