I don't want to compare to cirque du Soleil, but will for those wondering: I'd say cirque du Soleil is a tier above considering the abilities of the performers and the transitions between acts, AND Cirque Italia is priced accordingly! It's about half the price of cirque du Soleil. It's definitely worth the price of the tickets! It's up to you if you want to spend more once inside (concessions, glow toys, etc.). That will make the event much more expensive, but it doesn't have to be -- the choice is yours. Lol I definitely recommend this show.

Each performer brought an incredible level of talent, delivering their notes with such beauty and intention. It was an absolute treat and perfectly captured the spirit of the holiday season. The ambiance of the venue is small and quaint, creating an intimate setting that complements live music well. While there is a food menu available, I opted for strawberries and water to keep things light. Overall, the live musical experience was absolutely worth it and added just the right touch of holiday cheer.

The Johns Creek Symphony Orchestra was founded in 2007 and was assembled with high-quality…read moresymphonic musicians not already in the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra. It started with forty-two musicians and now is comprised of 116 artists and features classical, light classical, Broadway, and popular music. JCSO has entered its 18th year of existence with a full round of concerts and activities. It is the first and only professional symphony orchestra serving a city of less than 60,000 people and was recently selected to join a national consortium of only nine orchestras as part of the V. B. Toulmin Foundation Orchestral Commissions Program to ensure that new full-length works by composers not traditionally represented on orchestral stages receive a full hearing. JCSO has been commissioned to partner with Angel Lam for performances of her new work next season. Currently, JCSO is focused on selecting the orchestra's next Music Director and is presenting two concerts with each of the three finalists: Henry Cheng, Howard Hsu, and Paul Bhasin. My wife and I have gone to three of the six, are very enthusiastic about all three conductors, and eagerly await the final decision. The seasonal focus: Three Maestros, One Podium. We were privileged to hear 'From Screen to Stage' featuring the sounds of Star Wars, Harry Potter, Mission: impossible & Schindler's List. This concert showcased the power and emotion of Hollywood scores. 'Heroes Among Us: a Musical Tribute' is a powerful tribute to the spirit of heroism and featured Valerie Coleman's Seven O'Clock Shout dedicated to the frontline COVID workers. Pianist, David Fung, performed Greg's Piano Concerto. Energy and rhythmic vitality exhibited in Beethoven's symphony No. 7. This concert was led by Henry Cheng. The third concert that we attended was a 'Kaleidoscope of American Music' conducted by Paul Bhasin and displayed pieces with depth, complexity and diversity of our national musical heritage. The LA Philharmonic Principal Trumpet Tom Hooten was featured in two pieces in this concert. The JCSO also provides service to the community with free summer concerts in the park and a training ground for young and upcoming musical artists and a kids' Christmas concert for family and fun. They also provide educational and outreach programs in addition to high-quality performances. It is exceedingly exciting to have such an esteemed artistic creation alive and well within our small community. JCSO also serves neighboring towns within a thirty-mile radius and is beloved by all.

Wow! Last night we…read moreattended the Christmas Gala Holiday Pops at Johns Creek Methodist Church. We were lucky enough to get our seats right up front in the second row center with a perfect view of everything. The venue is beautiful. I'm not a church guy but I'd be willing to return to a church service to get an idea of how that organ sounds. I'm used to going to see bands while wearing a tie dyed shirt, shorts and sandals where seats aren't an option, which is no problem, because I'd rather be shaking my bones to the long Grateful Dead jams. This event was definitely different for my wife and me but we enjoyed dressing up and hanging with a different crowd. After this event, I'm ready for more! I've seen where the symphony offers a season ticket package and I'm pretty certain we'll be purchasing a couple of these for 2019. Awesome job JCSO! You've got me!

We were aiming for a puppet show last weekend but landed on a science show this weekend and I'm so glad we did! We got to see "Noreen the Science Queen" and engage in a live show with her. Not only was she amazing, but it was so wonderful to expose our girls to a woman in STEM and, more special for them, a Black woman in STEM. After the show, Noreen the Science Queen greeted the attendees in the lobby. She was open for pictures, and was selling both science kits for at home experiments and copies of her book. She is also available for birthday parties!! Now about the Cultural Arts Center, they currently have two exhibits: (1) there is an art show in the lobby in honor of Juneteenth and visitors get to vote on their favorite three (2) there is an exhibit of toys and games from the 1800s on the second floor. We didn't go up to check it out.

I attended a musical performance of the group Abilene on a Saturday night. I truly enjoyed everything about the experience. First, the theater is relatively small, and most seats are not too far from the stage. I had lucked out and was able to purchase a seat in the front row, which is 10 to 15 feet away from the stage. The performance by Abilene was simply spectacular. They describe themselves as a neo classical ensemble. I love the way they took some classical pieces by composers, such as Bach in Vivaldi, deconstructed them, reconstructed them, and made them their own. The peace, entitled Cascades was probably my favorite. It was inspired by the mountain range in the Pacific Northwest. The passionate playing near the end by both the cellist and the violinist was extraordinary. I also love the way they created a peaceful environment during their performance. They had a fog machine or smoke machine, as well as different colored lights used with each song. I also appreciated having David Crowe, the cultural arts coordinator, introduce the group, as well as tell us a little bit about the upcoming performances. While the tickets for next season don't go on sale until May, I'm ready to purchase tickets for more shows in 2023 and into 2024. Cheers
