I have no reason to go to this megachurch other than for an LPO concert or one of their organ performances.(Bach’s suite #2 and a Brandenburg concerto as well as Haendel’s Messiah were performed very well yesterday btw). Hence my 3 stars. A symphonic performance there gets 4 stars, one deducted for the lack of sound absorbing materials in the seating area(wood seatback pews and painted gypsum board ceilings and walls) resulting in any cough or other inappropriate noise to propagate through the entire hall but the pie-shaped space can accommodate a large number of music lovers, the parking is ample and free and the location is pretty convenient. The stage is backed by a massive modern organ, which although I have not heard I am told sounds pretty good. Other than that, it is your typical megachurch, complete with twin 12′ diagonal lcd screens and of course the lack of any alcohol in the refreshments selection due to their religious beliefs(which is pretty stupid business-wise… I mean, don’t drink the stuff if your god tells you not to but you don’t want to make some money during a concert which afterwards you can use on supposedly helping the poor?)
