Shostakovich 5: Heroism and Hope
Event Feedback

We were all novices to the symphony but had a terrific time. The seats were in the lower balcony so we had a great view of the whole stage. Watching how intently the members of the Orchestra played was incredible. The only negative is that at the beginning of the concert, the maestro addressed the audience with information about the program and the microphone failed and we couldn't hear. It's also worthwhile to note the the seating had a fairly steep staircase which proved to be somewhat challenging for my wife who recently injured her ankle and walks with a cane, and our friends with new knees and hip. Overall it was a great experience.

Thank you very much to the Oregon Symphony and VetTix for providing tickets to this wonderful performance. I had not been to a symphony for ages, and the music sent shivers through me. My veteran friend and I enjoyed the symphony immensely, and we are thankful for the opportunity to be there.

Thank you, Oregon Symphony, for the wonderful concert, featuring the magnificent Shostakovich 5th Symphony. It was wonderful! And to experience it in the beautiful Arlene Schnitzer Concert Hall was a special treat. Thank you for providing tickets enabling Veterans to attend such a special event.
