Members Who Went Said:I didn't care for the rap/poetry artists, nor did I like the selection of music. The maestra kept calling the vocalist "Inman;" his name is Niman. This performance was not up to the Pops' usual standards.
Anonymous Member It is a beautiful setting. Nice crowd. The concert was pretty good.
Albert Watts Wonderful setting and well played music by both orchestra and guest performers. Mistria Worby and company are worth a return visit. Hopefully they will offer more dates through Goldstar. |
