Would have given 4 stars but for 2 small things--and they were more personal than due to the event. I thought it would be a perfect evening for my 11-y.o. son, and there were even younger kids in attendance, but he gave it a "so-so," which was rather disappointing. The other matter is audience rudeness, that is, talking during the performance. This seems to have gotten worse recently, at many cultural events I attend, but it appeared to me that folks were less concerned about talking (not even lowering to a whisper) because the orchestra was made up of 20-somethings and younger. Sorry, I was there in part BECAUSE it was the American Youth Symphony, and it would have been nice if everyone else attending gave this excellent orchestra as much respect as they do one consisting of long-established musicians.Written on Mar 24 2008
