San Diego Symphony Reviews

Genius violinist. Words fail me. Joshua Bell is sensational. Tonight's performance one in a million.

Great Orchestra, new Music Director. Do not miss it.

The symphony is something everyone should experience. Beautiful venue!

Lovely venue, well worth the visit especially with the student discount tickets of only $10!

It's always a great experience to feel this type of music in your soul after a long week of work and to be able to share it with the ones you love..

great! the musicians and the conductor were perfects

Amazing show put on for the kids. Highly recommend their Xmas show.

Beautiful venue, and very helpful & friendly staff. The musicians are amazingly talented. A must-see for all!

We have been taking our 3 and 5 year olds to the family friendly performances for the past year. They are great! They really try to engage children from 3 to 13. It's also a place to enjoy beautiful music with your children and not spend the entire time shushing your children, some noises are to be expected

Top talent sharing their craft passion and lifelong dedication to their art.

A wonderful place all beautiful the concert of Jesus Adrian Romero a blessing

Beautiful venue. Good acoustics. Reasonable pricing to hear great music.

Jazz concerts and classics, a must if you're visiting from out of town!

Beautiful presentation of Nutcracker. Art Deco interior is georgous. Great facility! (Pictures of production are tagged by SD Symphony)

Being Phillipino and of African decent I don't understand why they have such a condescending and unprofessional security director (short Caucasian) manage these events. Talks down to me and degrates me but allowes his "employees" to do pretty much nothing.

70 plus people working together to make a beautiful piece of art is just amazing.

Was here for work, people who work there are pleasant to deal with clean and well-kept

Beautiful Venue, Audra McDonald's concert was excellent!

Our first time attending and we will be returning. Wonderful performance.

Loved it. It was my first experience at the symphony and will definitely be back. Facilities are great, parking structures available great place to spend a night in San Diego.

Nice location and interior. Though sound was not good at the edges of the main orchestra.

I really like the fact that they have such a variety of concerts there.

The San Diego Symphony was awesome. I am glad I volunteered to chaperone the middle schools band field trip.

Gorgeous place and the seniors who volunteer there are the sweetest ! They are very polite too !!!

Highly recommended. Spectacular performances. One of the highlights to any San Diego visit. If you are lucky enough to have the opportunity, don't forego!

Fantastic concert. Great way to spend a Sunday afternoon.

"Places in Time" A Jacobs Masterworks Concert.
Jader Bignamini, conductor.

Not clear where to park. No recycling bins. Location of certain things not clearly marked. Security and ushers not very soft-spoken. Kind of rushed in and out. Hard to relax as seats are uncomfortable. Just so so.

Spectacular venue for small to mid size events. Great harmonics and a real nostalgic feal. Parking utilizes kiosks at $25.00 a pop accross the street from the theater. If you do your homework more economical parking surely could be found.

Beautiful venue, beautiful music, and skilled musicians make for a wonderful night at the symphony.

Beautiful Hall. Interesting artists visiting all the time

The interior is beautiful, the sound travels perfectly, and every seat is a good one.

Beautiful venue, great musicians, wonderful programs.

The symphony is great! Beautiful venue. Love the $10 student tickets.

The music was unparalleled, the volunteers helpful and nice and the concert hall beautiful. Highly recommend.

Outstanding performance of "It's a Wonderful Life."

Excellent range of programs and concerts, terrific musicianship and leadership. In addition to wide range of classical music programs, Jazz series is phenomenal.

As I walked by the outside of the Copley Symphony Hall, watching all the distinguished people mingle with one another, I felt so out of place.I tried to picture them on a planet within the SI-FI movie, Star Wars yet, it was all just a dream.
I've seen many symphonies however, all of them were televised and music can evoke sorts of psychological emotions within the human mind. It can hypnotize, mesmerize, or send you to other worlds that are stranger than reality.
I've always been on the outside looking in and although I've never really had the money to afford a ticket, let alone the type of clothing that one must wear to even make it through the doors of Copley Symphony Hall, I'm at the age where, even if I did, I'd doubt that I could feel very comfortable, nor would I ever be accepted.
I've seen several operas at the Civic Center and a few live performances (plays) at the Old Globe and they were fascinating to watch however, I just couldn't see spending all that money on something like that, when I can see a good SI-FI movie for only $7.

Beautiful inside. Very intimate inside, feel close to stage

Attended Midori's performance of Tchaikovsky's Violin Concerto with the SD Symphony last night, April 1. Seated in the third row, I heard and saw the magnificent interaction between the orchestra and Midori. To complete a memorable evening of music, there was a warm, music sharing Q and A between Midori and the audience. Couldn't get better.
Thank you, San Diego Symphony.

Its such a beautiful venue, and the orchestra is awesome. Also you don't have to dress up or anything if you are like me, just go see them play, at least once, you'll love it.

We came for the family Noel Noel show and it was wonderful. Gorgeous theater and very friendly and helpful staff.

The acoustics were great. Seats were comfortable and had plenty of space. Great old building.

Great symphony orchestra and beautiful concert hall

Wonderful venue. Amazing talent. We are lucky to have this in San Diego.

Very nice venue, attentive employees. Overall a great experience.

Beautiful theater. Good sound and sightlines. Parking was easy and $15.

I have been here for many different events from Orchestra, to Ballet , and even comedy. Beautiful place!

Noel Noel rocks. Loved all the songs, the program moved very fast and no down time. Would be nice if the concert started earlier so I can get dinner after. Concert finished at 10pm and it was already 1030pm when I got home, so ended up having McDonald's for dinner instead, which was still awesome! I am definitely back next year wearing my ugly sweater. See you next year!

The 4U: Music of Prince with Symphony concert was "Outstanding"!!! I absolutely loved it. Great show!

Recommend for especially for young people. Great experience!

This place is What you would expect for a proper music and performance venue. Decent acoustics and good view. Well designed over all. Way way better than the horibble sports stadium type venues often used for performing arts.

Well played. The symphony and the conductor prepared and played the music superbly.

Excellent concert, with a rivetting account of the Shostakovich 11. There were well-deserved ovations after both pieces.

Beautiful 1920's building. Saw Back to the Future with the San Diego Symphony. Really cool experience, highly recommend seeing a movie with the score done live. Alan Sylvestri was there to talk with the audience with composer David Newman

Beautiful stage and concert hall, excellent performances

A marvelous hall and a great orchestra! I love to go whenever I get the chance!

Amazing experience. Be on time otherwise you will have to wait to enter not to distract the auditorium.
