The Grand Rapids Symphony is not your average "long hair" symphony! Besides the usual classical performances, they also do "Pops" concerts, coffee concerts, outdoor picnic concerts and several times we have been to "Cirque..." concerts with performers along with the symphony music!! Those and the New Year's Eve Specials are our favorites but we would highly recommend ALL of the... More

I've seen them so many times and they aways play so beautifully. They add such presence to other performances. Looking forward to seeing them at the Picnic Pops and DeVos.

Our most recent visit was for the annual Holiday Pops. We attend infrequently but have never been disappointed. Each season offers a huge variety of music from classical to pops to movie themes, rock, and children's concerts. The summer outdoor Picnic Pops with fireworks following are always fun too.

The Symphony is excellent, the local players are really really good lead by David Lockington. John Varineaux is terrific as well. This was a Pops concert, doing Broadway musical music and they brought in three singers. All were good, the male vocalist was outstanding.

Been season ticket holders for over 15 years. Love, love, love David Lockington and all he's done for the place. These musicians are spectacularly talented and lovely, lovely folks. Everyone should come for a listen (but shut off your stupid phones!)

Our Christmas present from our oldest son and wife. Wonderful Christmas music and the acrobats of Cirque were exceptional. Great evening. Grand Rapids Symphony wonderful.

For a town of the size of Grand Rapids, the symphony is absolutely amazing. The quality of our professional musicians and the popular and rich programs they perform are wonderful. They are a joy to listen to.
