This evening was our second experience at BSO's Home for the Holidays! For us, it was an…read moreExtravaganza! From the 'Will Call' table organization to the Panama School Strolling Strings to the BC Choir and of course, the BSO itself. ABSOLUTELY SUBLIME! NOT ONE note out of tune. And, being a former semi-professional violist and teacher myself, I feel somewhat confident in making that statement. I played under Alberto Bolet of the then Kern Philharmonic and John Farrer, first conductor of the Bakersfield Symphony Orchestra. Those were the days that ALL conductors wore FULL-DRESS TUXEDOS that really get your attention that these conductors were absolutely serious about their role in leading and commanding very much deserved and earned respect as "THE" sole individual responsible for orchestral musical performance outcomes. And, SUCH a refreshing thing to see then (as it would be now) in an era of far-too casual dress at special performances like these. Many concert-goers know the dedication, wood-shedding-hours-upon-hours of practice and sacrifice these musicians must make to perfect their performance - as well as those who do not...but for me...that tuxedo says it all... Oh, what a fabulous tradition we have here in this town! A professional LIVE orchestra - available to the masses at all price points - in a marvelous theatre with outrageous acoustics too. If you haven't experienced this Christmas Time TREASURE - you are MISSING it! They even have delicious snacks before concert time, beautiful LIVE stringed instruments being played by the youth from Panama School in the lobby, coloring tables for kids, and adult beverages plus photo ops...ALL under one roof! Incredible - and for such a reasonable price!! The security staff this year far outshone that of last year's. AND, let's not forget the wonderful ushers that help everyone find their seats (and even improve their seating if necessary due to accessibility issues)...simply over-the-top. HEY BAKERSFIELD! LET'S FILL THE AUDITORIUM TO THE BRIM NEXT YEAR!!!! WAY TO GO BSO AND BC CHOIR! UTTERLY FANTASTIC! Makes me really want to pick up my violin again and teach. Now that's going some after 50 years...Don't you think so?

The symphony is wonderful, but it's not worth going. First, the box office charges you a…read moreridiculous amount in "fees" because they don't sell you tickets direct - they actually just log into axs, so you are paying an online provider even if you buy at the box office, and in our case the fees were 50% of the cost of our tickets. Fix this . . . Second, the crowd is unbearable. People were talking incessantly, standing up frequently during the performance, eating during the performance, and one person let their phone ring (not just once, but the same person with a distinct ring three times during the performance)(the conductor made a joke of it, but seriously, get a hint). If you pay a ton of money to hear music, you don't want the constant chatter, wrappers, and other distractions of the crowd. Finally, the seats are absurdly uncomfortable. They are much smaller than any venue I've been in, they are plastic, and they are mounted into a concrete floor. To be honest, I could probably put up with the venue, and rationalize the cost as supporting the arts . . . but the crowd, the noise, and the distractions ruin the experience.
