My husband and I have enjoyed going to the New Year’s Eve Pops celebration for the last eight years. We have thoroughly enjoyed each year with the symphony and the wonderful acts they bring to accompany their delightful music. However, this year was different. While we enjoyed the acrobatics and the music itself, we were very disgusted and disappointed in the self interjection of the conductors feelings and thoughts of our president that really had nothing to do with last evenings performance. He not only made a personal reference to his feelings but also lacked the respect of at least addressing him as President Donald Trump and simply referred to him as Donald Trump. The lack of professionalism last night has made us wonder if this is a tradition we would like to continue for the years to come.

What a fine group of professional musicians. Each year they manage to outdo themselves. This symphony measures up to the best of them. Great talent, and the director is also one of the best.
New Years Eve performance was awesome! We go every year and are always treated to beautiful music and wonderful acts. This year the conductor made a comment about trump , which a majority of the audience appreciated. Perhaps such political comments should not be inserted into such events, however when we have an administration actively working to defund the arts, I thought it was fair game. Too bad some in the crowd hold the conductor to a higher standard than the president. We will continue to support the symphony and the arts in our area. All the musicians deserve appreciation and respect. Thank you!!
Are there more historic, impressive symphonies out there? Yes, but this group of individuals provide a great show. If you've never seen them before, check them out ASAP!
Wonderful symphony! It's incredible that we have a professional orchestra in such a small town. Yet another reason Des Moines is such a gem of a city
