butler county symphony orchestra

Though we have been to the Pittsburgh Symphony many times we had never attended the Butler County Symphony. We were very, very pleased and we will certainly go back. We had wonderful seats and felt like we were in our living room.

I have been a season subscriber for over 30 years and Matthew Kraemer seems to bring out the best in them. The programs are chosen to appeal to everyone, young or old. The pre-concert talks by Mr. Kraemer are very good, with the guest artist talking to us about his performance.Butler is very fortunate to have such a talented symphony and also the Musical Theater Guild, the Butler Little Theater, and the Maridon Museum.

We had Pittsburgh Symphony Annual Ticket. Now, we have Butler Symphony Annual Tickets (for 3 years) and enjoy the Butler Symphony so much. The music is themed with a great variety from Broadway to Rachmaninoff, from Charlie Chaplin to Christmas traditional music. The conductor,Matthew Kraemer, a true master, bringing out the best in the musicians and the arrangements. This is a must if you haven't attended lately or for a first time experience.

The Butler County Symphony is a gem and definitely worth attending. Matthew Kraemer, the conductor has brought out the talent of the orchestra and developed it. The acoustics in the auditorium is excellent. Butler is certainly lucky to have this wonderful organization. What an enriching and uplifting experience for those young or old who attend. Thanks to the musicians, the Symphony Board, and the conductor for their dedication and talent to provide Butler with this wonderful Symphony.

Conductor Matthew Kraemer once again has displayed his considerable talents in transforming the orchestra into what it needs to be no matter what musical endeavor they tackle together. Rachmaninoff's 2nd symphony was beautifully crafted.The guest artist, Andrew Sords, displayed his mastery of the violin in Bruch's Violin Concerto No. 1 in G minor. What talent.Can't wait for the March 7th concert, Broadway Bound!

I have attended a number of their performances and have enjoyed everyone. From themed adventures into ones childhood to seasonal celebrations, the Butler County Symphony Orchestra promises and delivers on wonderful family oriented entertainment. They also encourage and promote ongoing musical education in the surrounding schools. As a person who grew up playing instruments, singing and producing shows and concerts, this pleases me to no end. Liberal Arts is needed for everyone as it brings out a level of expressionism and professionalism that only one can attain through the arts. I strongly encourage everyone to take the time to not only attend a concert, but support them.

Once again, we were thrilled with the performance of ALL the selections last Saturday night. It should have been a packed house, and we're doing all we can to market the BCSO! It's much improved over the last couple years. Congrats!

I love live music and it’s not often that you get an opportunity to attend an orchestra performance in a professional setting for an affordable price. I brought along a friend and we had a great girls night out - the orchestra is talented the guest violinist was funny!

Thank you so much, Rebecca. We have taken your suggestion and have made alterations to the pre-concert lecture by asking patrons to enter through the side door. We trust that this has made the experience more enjoyable. Thank you for your continued patronage.

OMG...this was just wonderful. Everyone stood up after the show. The movie was great and the Symphony Orchestra was MARVALOUS... loved it ;0)

The Butler County symphony is a gem - I recently attended a unique performance. We watched Charlie Chaplin's "City Lights" and the orchestra supplied the accompanyment. It was fantastic, at times you forgot that the music wasn't part of the movie, they had it timed so well. In addition, their Christmas concert is always beautiful - definitely worth a visit.
