Outstanding performance - weather was perfect for the open air concert facility. The music which was performed by students was incredible. The piano soloist was also outstanding. I hope to be able to attend more performances before the season is over.

The July 4 concert which is an integral part of the Summer Festival should not be missed. The young high school student musicians who make up the Brevard Symphonic Winds, the 4 college students who are part of the opera company, and the flamboyant conductor, Kraig Alan Williams, made this a superb concert, highlighted by Tchaikovsky’s 1812 Overture, complete with cannon fire. The venue is very pleasant with a choice of lawn or auditorium seating, our choice and we had superb seats in the center of row H. Since we arrived early, we had plenty of time to buy a snack although we saw a lot of people bringing their own food.

The students are so talented, eager, and obviously enjoying themselves on stage. We can't wait to go back!…

The Brevard Music Center is a jewel in the crown of this little mountain town. There is nothing more tranquil than a summer evening concert by the lake at the music center. The music is exceptional--conducted by world class composed and performed by the most talented musicians under 35 in the world. I amma blown away time after time when I visit there. You can buy tickets to sit inside the open-air theater, but my husband and I prefer to bring our own chair and sit outside under the stars with a bottle of wine for just $20. The best thing is that you can wait until the last minute to determine if the weather is good. Every summer, the orchestra performs the entire sound track of a well-known movie while the movie and dialogue are playing. Last year's performance of West Side story was superb. The timing is so crucial and they never missed a beat. This year's performance of Raiders of the Lost Ark should be just as good. .…
