Notable Comments

"...This orchestra is, in 2 words, ’top notch’; its playing is tight, crisp, and precise; Maestro McPhee’s cues are equally precise and agreeably discreet. He knows and shows what he wants and gets it, both literally and figuratively...Everyone’s enthusiasm for the music making is palpable, as is the audience’s attention and appreciation. This is classical music as it once was known in similar cities and towns across the nation, but which has, alas, disappeared from all too many of them. In Lexington, it is growing instead: the highest priced seating sections are sold out for the entire season. ." Review of Sep 12, 2009 concert from the Classical Voice of New England

"...We congratulate the organization on its creative programming, fine playing, and immediately evident commitment and dedication, and wish it much continued success." Review of Feb 8, 2009 concert from the Classical Voice of New England

"...a suburban orchestra like the Lexington Symphony is capable of a performance to attract the attention of those who live closer to Symphony Hall. Even if the BSO season were in full swing, last Saturday’s program would have been worth the trip." Review of Sept 13, 2008 concert in the Boston Phoenix

"The orchestra was brilliant. Jonathan conducts with a passion that envelops the audience...We in the audience were dazzled! What a program, what an evening. Thanks to you all.

--Lexington Symphony patron
