Loved the performance and the atmosphere the group generated – almost felt like the audience shouldn’t be sitting! That small drum instrument was great. I loved that it could produce various tones and that it had this really interesting hollow sound quality.

The San Francisco Symphony’s installments were a definite change in what most people are accustomed to hearing. It was incredibly interesting to hear the contrasting facets of each song that caused them to be unique. While it was difficult for me to fully appreciate most of the pieces today, I really enjoyed Meredith Monk’s piece. There were definitely aspects of the other pieces I really enjoyed (for example, playing the strings in the piano, throwing the singer’s voice through the use of 3 microphones), the music did not align with my preferences. However, I thought everyone performed wonderfully and was really glad I was able to experiences these performances.

Phenomenal. I was absolutely impressed and awestruck by so many aspects of the set and lighting. Yves Jacques embodied each of the characters so incredibly well that I forgot that the characters weren’t played by different people. The storylines were all very well done and beautiful. Glad I overcame the tornado to see this!!

So great! Incredibly diverse, “mavericky”, and beautiful all at the same time. I love how the organ was incorporated with electronic music and a choir and also really enjoyed its pairing with the percussion ensemble as well. Very impressed.
