Wonderful as always. Just going into the beautiful lobby is a treat. The acoustics are great also. Seeing the Glen Miller band is always a treat.

The performance from the Polish Orchestra was Out of this World. Only one issue. If I spend $800 for 7 tickets with no discount u would think during the shows the staff would turn off there walki Talkis and there cell phones. Other wise it would have been 10 stars. I will still give it 5 stars because of the performance. Please train your staff or I will lol

The Villages Symphony gave a very enjoyable concert on Jan. 9th. The hall is a nice size and was well ventilated (bring a heavy sweater). Sound was good. Am looking forward to the next concert.
