It's not worth booking with them not trust worthy at all.. and then they wanted to charge 280 for 30 mins FOR ONE PERSON TO COME SING IF WE STILL WANTED HIM AFTER 40 mins ... very sad ... DO NOT HIRE THESE PEOPLE !! Not professional AT ALL!

I am very disappointed and heartbroken. We had setup a timing for them to come at my mom's house…read more It was her 66th birthday, so we wanted to surprise her with something special. We were in constant communication with them through text and phone calls, and they assured us that they were on their way and they were ten minutes away. Then thirty minutes roll by, and we call them, they give us the same "we are 10 minutes away" excuse. After 10 minutes, we take my mom to the back patio and blindfold her and tell her we have a surprise. We call them and turns out they were all the way in Magnolia, mind you we were in Alief. They were 50+ miles away, and they told us they were never coming. They had actually passed us off to another group. Now, we had to break the news to my mom since she is going to wonder why she was blindfolded. Of course, she took it okay, but you could tell she was disappointed she didn't have the band playing.

I just returned from another Baton Rouge business trip. I usAually like to stay downtown. The hotel…read moreselection is short but nice, there's some nice restaurant choices, and I appreciate leaving the car behind. And with each visit, I learn or experience something new. For this visit, that would be attending a performance of the Baton Rouge Symphony and admiring the Old Capital complex as I walked there and back again. The evening's performance included: - Handel: Zakok the Priest (Coronation Anthem #1) - Bottesini: Concerto, Double Bass, No. 2, B Minor - Brahms: Symphony No. 2. op. 73, D Major. Here were my thoughts (in no particular order) during the concert: 1. The old Charley Tuna Sunkist commercial - Having good taste for being here? 2. Hall is a little over half full and a lot of these folks are older than me! 3. Loved the Handel Chorus. Time to pull out the Messiah CD for the Holidays! 4, John Madere was "The Bomb" on the Contrabass during the Battesini piece. 5. Only got a little sleepy during Brahms. 6. You know, this is a really nice performance space! 7. Best seats are lower level - middle rows. 8. Conductor sure has some energetic gestures! 9. Entire concert (including intermission) lasted only 90 minutes or so. 10. A community treasure. I look forward to being in town sometime in the future for another BRSO performance.

This is a very talented group of musicians! I babysit for the son of two of the musicians, so I've…read morehad the chance to attend many of the different concerts! The master series showcases some pretty talented guest musicians. One i loved was Wicked Divas. Two women from broadway came and sang with the orchestra. They were amazing! Even Kristen Chenowith has sang with them. I got to see a very talented violinist come play with the orchestra and an amazing piano player. Christmas time has a lot to offer as well. Home for the Holidays is a great Christmas performance for the whole family. It features a selection of new and old Christmas songs. They also have the sleigh ride selfie. When they play sleigh ride, you take a selfie with the orchestra and sleigh in the background and post it to the BRSO page. My favorite Christmas performance is the brass playing at St. Joseph's Cathedral downtown. It's a beautiful church and the music is so pretty. At the end, the orchestra goes up by the majestic organ in the balcony and plays Hallelujah. It gives me chills every time. The orchestra also has a Christmas performance at Houmas House every year. Then how can you miss the Nutcracker, a Tale from the Bayou. It's a must see for me every year. Beautiful dancing and music! Then in the spring, the orchestra does symphony pops. I went to the one at Rural life museum and they played music from the movies. We sat under the stars and listened. The symphony is a great place to go!

In one night, you will encounter artists not only visually talented but actively talented. The POP! Smart events also highlights musicians rooted in Baton Rouge and responsible for the emerging music scene here. Live art has been performed by locals such as D-Lo and Marc Fresh, Aerial Acrobatics by Airseekers, a 3-D printing station (Geaux-Bot), caricatures by Jay Chen and you may have even seen the R2D2 replica roaming around making appearances in selfies. It has given different artists, game developers, musicians and performers a platform to show-off their skills to the community. Way to go Neda Parandian for creating this showcase!

They have a waiting room, if you are dropping off your child.
