Audience and orchestra connected at SLO Symphony concert
My husband and I are season ticket holders with the SLO Symphony. We attended the recent concert under the direction of Bruce Anthony Kiesling and were absolutely thrilled with the quality of the production. Guest pianist Steven Lin gave an astounding performance followed by a rousing standing ovation. Mr. Lin then graciously agreed to play an encore.
The orchestra was so together and played so beautifully that we felt we experienced an evening that will long be remembered. We were very impressed that Mr. Kiesling introduced each piece to the audience. He was very gracious to give credit to the various soloists, having them stand for all to see. At the end of the concert, in response to another enthusiastic standing ovation by the packed house, we were treated to another encore!
What a beautiful evening! We felt that the audience and the orchestra were so connected Saturday night. It was truly an atmosphere we were so happy to be a part of. Keep up the good work, SLO Symphony!
