Chicago Symphony Orchestra Segerstrom Center For The Arts - Renee and Henry Segerstrom Concert Hall Concert reviews
Below Average!
I would not recommend someone spending there hard earned money on this show. Felt Adam did not come out to the end of the stage (middle of the stadium) until the end of the concert. He was on the cat walk allot but never moved from there. My seats were good but felt he catered to the main floor people along the cat walk. They played a cover song??? really come on you guys are better than that!!! Or at least I thought you were??? The music was average. Chicago Symphony Orchestra gets rid of the arrow on there stage and just has a cat walk. Adam did not engage the crowd looked like he was just going though the motions to get the concert over. I recommend not going to see Chicago Symphony Orchestra again, sorry hate to write a bad review but it really wasnt that good of a show.
