  33. Kathleen Shuey on December 10, 2024 at 2:54 am

    It’s been several years since we enjoyed this concert. The concert was wonderful. The balloons were so much fun at the end. I loved going downtown the day before New Year’s Eve, because the city and hotels were so quiet. We stayed overnight, too. The whole experience was so relaxing and memorable. I would love to go one more time, especially after a difficult year, full of health issues. I want to hear “Ode to Joy” one more time!

  34. steadyode on December 10, 2024 at 12:34 pm

    Will be a great concert, thanks for the chance at tix!

  35. Elle on December 10, 2024 at 12:35 pm

  77. Sylvia Heidrich on December 22, 2024 at 3:34 pm

    I hope nothing more than to be able to attend this symphony because classical music has always been a great way to find some much needed inspiration and motivation. It would be a lovely way to end this year and to be surrounded by the positive energy of music and people.

  78. Christopher Gebo on December 26, 2024 at 8:58 am

    I love the symphony, but I don’t have much means. One of my dearest friends just moved back here from Florida because she lost everything and she is starting over. I’ve had a challenging year as well. I think we would both absolutely love to be at the December 30 Beethoven’s 9th. I feel horrible to be asking. Thank you for your consideration.

    Best Regards,
    Christopher Gebo

  79. Sascha on December 26, 2024 at 4:03 pm
