The Charlotte Symphony was a wonderful experience. My wife and I attended the performance of Mendelssohn's Elijah at the Belk theater and the performance was amazing. The theater has great acoustics and the sound was perfect. Everyone involved with the event did a fantastic job and I could see they enjoyed show casing their craft. If you have an opportunity to see any shows there you will definitely enjoy yourself.

I love the symphony but now the ticket fees are outrageous! I paid almost $100 in fees for 2 tickets only to treat my mom. I think I won't be going back anytime soon.

I went recently for the music of John Williams and I was definitely not disappointed. They orchestra brought back a lot of memories as they took us on a journey through some of my favorite movies. The conductors knowledge of the movies and the fun they had with the Star Wars characters were nice touches to a great evening. Cant wait to go again.

It is such a treasure to have the symphony connected to our community and to experience such incredible performances in our Queen City! From the Pops, to the Movie Series, the Charlotte Symphony presents exceptional musical experiences, and it is always a treat to attend!

Love coming here for a date night. I prefer the balcony seating, however, there arent any bad seats in the house from the times Ive went. Saw last nights pop concert series performance of John Williams Unlimited. Tend to go to the more traditional performances, but I enjoyed the brief explanations before the pieces. I think the Charlotte pops series helps encourage people that may not otherwise come out and experience the orchestra! The orchestra did a fantastic job on these technical pieces. They even had Star Wars characters dresses up before the show and on stage during the performance. It is the most fun Ive had at an orchestra in some time! I will attending more pop series in the future. My boyfriend who did not grow up playing in orchestra also really appreciated it!

I had the pleasure of attending Beethoven 360 on 11/08/25. I was visiting family that live in Charlotte so it was my first time here. I found the staff very friendly and helpful. The venue itself was cozy and perfect for the event. I was able to sit on the stage as the orchestra was in the pit area which was wonderful. I had a fantastic time and thoroughly enjoyed the music and presentation. So much so I tried to get some family members to go to the later show.

Attended the "Movies" outdoor performance: The orchestra was superb!
Was 1 hour in length. They played 7 pieces each from a different movie: How to Train Your Dragon, Star Trek, Star Wars, a Tango piece, Back to the Future, Avengers and LOTR.
The first 6ish rows are reserved. You bring own food or enjoy a couple of food truck options. There is bag check & ticket purchase/stamping. It was packed (late June). I'd suggest if not paying for VIP/reserved spots, come over an hour early to sit in "front". In the "back" is a bit quiet but could hear and we had a bush (at least) in our view so just closed our eyes listening. You bring your own seating/blankets.
I suggest being mindful of weather and knats (warm-ish day but sun set was enjoyable). This is a good casual date night. Could add battery candles & pack a picnic!
Would prefer less talking/commentary. Paid ~$15/person. Very casual; people chatting, on phones during, moving around and some nature noises like birds/planes. There is ample parking since at mall and easy to exit!

Recently had the honor of seeing them perform with my daughters 5th grade class. The show they put on was amazing and the conductor was incredible with the audience! Were blessed to have such a talented group right here in Charlotte!
