Ethan Bortnick

What an amazing show and venue. Ethan continues to astound us every time we see him.

My wife and I took our 11 year old grandson who is very interested and involved in music and we all had a wonderful evening in a great venue.

The show was fabulous. Ethan has a great presence on stage and the audience loved him. The Celebration of Music portion of the show was incredible to be a part of. We had a fabulous evening with family and friends watching Ethan perform, and the winner of the Celebration of Music. I would see Ethan perform again.

Went to support the Youth Symphony -- they played a wonderful, "mix-it-up" play-list -- loved all of it. I was surprised, and very pleasantly, with Ethan Bortnick. Despite his youth he is a seasoned showman.

This was one of the best concerts I have been to in many years ...... I am 78.

We went to see Damien and i got so much more than i expected. Ethan Bortnick was beyond any expectation i had. loved the youth symphony. all of them gave autographs and let you take pics w them. would for sure go back. went at my teens urging am very thankful we went

This kid really knows how to connect with his entire audience. It was a great show and I would definitely go again.

Ethan's show was wonderful! My eight year old son just loved every minute of the show. Ethan engaged the audience after every song he played, that was not an easy thing to do for a 10 year old. He kept everyone's attention and did so just perfect. We really enjoyed his Q&A that he offered to the audience in order to ask him questions such as: how he got to where he is at such a young age. My son hasn't stopped talking about Ethan's show. He tells me "Mom I am so glad you took me to see Ethan, he is so talented". Ethan's show is a must see for all ages!

I knew this was going to be good and I was NOT disappointed. Ethan Bortnick is truely amazing. He even had a Q & A session with people in the audience.....this would be daunting for an adult, but he breezed thru it with no problem at all with his quick wit. He is a true showman. His talent is unbelievable....He plays piano, he sings, he writes songs. And to think he is only 10!

Ethan Bortnick was fantastic. For a 10 year old to literally "run the show" for 2 hours is something that truly has to be seen. The kid is clearly a prodigy. His performance runs the gamut from Mozart to Dean Martin to Billy Joel (and everything in between). Truly he is a pleasure! Gwinnett Performing Arts Center however was a major disappointment. You would think that a "performing arts center" could manage a proper sound check - but for the first 15 mins or so, there was terrible feedback (an audible hiss that could be heard OUTSIDE the auditorium) AND the bass was over-miked, so it blurred the sound. Also the sound was not balanced so whenever the backup musicians played, it drowned out both Ethan and the choir that came up to join him for a couple of songs. Again - Ethan was fantastic, but I would score the venue as poor

Ethan's show was more than just his music. His personality and interaction with the audience was very enjoyable. His music had much variety and therefore had something for all musical tastes. Great musical evening for all ages.

he is Fantastic, Amazing!! the show is recommended for all,children,adults. I live the perform center with a big smile and had the opportunity to meet and take a picture with him. Thank you Ethan Bortnick!! God Bless you!!

This sweet little boy has amazing talent and stage presence for a 10 year old. He plays everything from classical to pop tunes to jazz. Even some of his own compositions. He also improvised two pieces from random audience phone ringtones, in two different genres of music, no less! He handled audience Q&A like an adult - was interesting and polite, with such poise. He is truly remarkable. Should not be missed!! BRAVO! ETHAN!!

Very talented & very witty (an adults humor in a nine year olds body) Our group of 7 people (ranging from 7 years old to 59) all loved the show and we were astounded by this young mans' talent, wit & caring for others -- we would recommend his show to anyone who enjoys music & cares for children! An A+++

Wonderful entertainer....Bright future ahead for Ethan.

This show was absolutely amazing. He is a very interesting little boy and brings the best to the show. So glad that we went....he is such a prodigy

Was surprised that there were only a few people there for such a great entertainer. Did not like the Aladdin theater as everything was old and no parking. The bathroom was upstairs which is not good for senior adults. They could have had Ethan at a small church or hall and it would have been much better. He is a great kid and hope he doesn't get burned out. We did buy his DVD which we watched and was great.

He is a natural talent, a Mozart wonderkid! He has the poise of an adult entertainer and the humor of a child. He shows respect to his audience.

This was the first to see Ethan Bortnick in concert. Ethan is amazing. My daughter and I enjoyed him so much. He is a fabulous entertainer at a very young age. God bless him with a beautiful talent. I would purchase tickets again to hear Ethan play beautiful music.

I'm sure we will be hearing a lot more about this youing man! At 10 Ehan is aleady a great entertainer! I bought 8 tickets for family and friends on a whim and it was a wonderful experience for us all. The show has something for everyone. Ehtan is extremelly talented on the piano, has great charm and really gets the audience involed in his performance. I would go see him agian in a heart beat. Bravo Ethan!

Ethan is just a fantastic talent. His piano talent is just as good as any adult pianist. And his singing voice was just amazing, initially I thought it was someone else, maybe a recording, I couldn't blieve it was Ethan. His M.C. skills was so entertaining, getting the audience involved. I was glad I was able to witness his talent in person.

An amazing little boy...great crowd interaction. The second half got a little long as he tried to include people from the audience....I think some adult help would be beneficial there. His talent as a performer was absolutely terrific.....almost as if an older person was inhabiting that 10 year old body. Three generations of my family attending this show and each of us enjoyed it immensely.

Incredible performer - Ethan was also had a great interaction with the audience.

I saw 2 of his Live Shows! One was recent in PA!!! You can not believe what he does on stage!! He is an amazing Pianist!! BUT....... He is hilarious, Fun, inspiring and most of all a regular kid!! He took Questions from the audience in Both concerts (that was my favorite part). His answers were hilarious! :-) He played everything from Justin Bieber to Mozart to Beatles to Bill Evans.. It was Crazy!!! Then he sang some songs, which was sooooo sweet! He changed Outfits! - Loved the Good Golly Jacket - It blinded the folks in the front row, so he gave them sunglasses :-) So funny! He then had everyone dancing in the aisles for "I will Survive". Then he had all the kids singing along with him "We are the world" - Which he was recently a part of.. That was so Sweet!!!! Then he did this thing where he picked someone from the audience and asked them to turn on there cell phone ringtone.. He took the ringtone and created an entire Composition! I felt like Mozart was re-born.. It was a true masterpiece.. Anyway, I could go on and on, but all I know is that I am going to a few more concerts, because I am sure his ticket prices will go up next year!!! This is one not to be missed by Kids, Teenagers, Adults, and Granfolks!!!! WOW!

Fantastic show! Amazing young man! So compassionate. Would see him again!

This show is for the young and the old, non stop energetic entertainment. My daughter enjoyed singing you! THANK YOU❤

Young people playing a great concert! Ethan was amazing and his back up, especially his drummer, Nick Lewert was fantastic!!!

The show is very enjoyable! We saw him last year too. The only disappointment was his show this year was almost same as last year. Would have liked to see more new material.

I enjoyed seeing Ethan Live but don't think I need to see him every year live. I enjoyed the show. It was complete and fun.

So we became interested in Ethan from the endless PBS showings of his concerts and the hype surrounding his talents which I don't question but to see him in a venue such as Detroit Music hall and not have an orchestra to back him up was very disappointing it actually made it seem like we were in a high school gym a very forgetable perfromance, sorry Ethan!

I have wanted to see Ethan Bortnick since he was 8. Unfortunately, this was the first time I could attend his performance. He is now 16. The show was entertaining but it seems he had not altered his program since he was 8. It was great show for younger kids or audience who have followed him since he was young. Now that he is older, I think he needs to alter his program to attract bigger audience. Overall, it was enjoyable... like attending a piano bar. I am glad I got the Ethan Bortnik bug out of my system.

Apparently, I didn't read the fine print before I bought tickets to this concert. I couldn't make it to the show myself, but I sent four family members to the show with the expectation that the concert would be a MUCH larger production than it turned out to be. My family members enjoyed the show, but I'll have to admit that I was a bit crestfallen when I discovered my mistake. I'm still not sure if I was duped or if I was just not paying close enough attention to what I was purchasing. The redeaming thought I'm left with is that it was all for a good cause if it helps The Joy Of Music School accomplish their goals.

The concert was fabulous. Ethan is a very talented young man way beyond his actual age. It amazes me that at his age he plays the "old" songs and his audience is made up mostly of the older generation. His charitable contributions are also noteworthy.

The concert was entertaining and the time flew by. Ethan presents songs familiar to almost every age group! A lovely evening.

This young man puts his heart and soul into his performances. We were totally delighted with the entire evening. He engages the audience and it felt like we were all just in our living rooms at home having a fun time. His talent is amazing. I'm sure he was worn out from the many songs he sang and played but we truly appreciated it!

We thoroughly enjoyed this young man's concert. He knows how to share his own joy and enthusiasm for music and song. Inspiring for young musicians and energizing for everyone.

Amazing. A 14 year old Victor Borge. Not only is he a gifted pianist with absolute pitch, but he is a great stand up comic. It was also nice to have a show suitable for all ages.

A must see show! Ethan is an amazing entertainer for people of all ages. He plays and sings oldies and goodies, classics and current music. Love the music he composes. We need to see more of him.

A wonderful night, at twice the price. This young man is an entertainer way beyond his years. I hope he comes back to Columbus soon.

Not only is Ethan Bortnick exceptionally talented but he makes his concert fun for all ages. Wish his CD wasn't totally sold out so fast. I would have purchased one.

Quite an amazing young man. Very grounded, yet entertaining - and oh so talented. He just makes you smile . . .

To see Ethan Bortnick in person is a treat. He is an amazing 14 year old with talents and gifts of grace far beyond his years. Knowing of his charitable gifts to organizations which benefit children's and youth's betterment makes me so happy and proud for him. If you enjoy wholesome family entertainment combined with superb talent then this is the event to see. You come away feeling better for the world knowing there are people like him in it.

Ethan Bortnick isn't just an incredible talent on the piano, he has an overall stage presence that is so engaging and genuine. His voice is a well developed instrument as well. Ethan's performance was so entertaining, if you have the opportunity to go see him, you must go! Ethan received a standing ovation, and, to the crowds cheers, came back to the stage for an encore song! How great is that? (he's 14 years old!) His ability to play so well with the Tucson Symphony Orchestra was unforgettable, and his "band"-guitar, bass, keyboard and drums-are really great in their own right as well. But watching Ethan play solo is truly inspiring!

Loved the symphony, Ethan not all that talented. Maybe in 5-8 years?

Ethan Bortnick's performance was one of the most enjoyable events that I've been to lately. A young man with amazing talent. He can be listed with the best piano players. Not only does he play the piano but he also sings and writes some of the songs he plays. He has a wonderful future ahead of him. One day I think he'll be a household name. I saw him on the Oprah show several years ago and thought he was good. Today, he is magnificent. Don't miss his show "The Power of Music". It was fun the whole night with people clapping, singing and a few people got up and danced to a couple of his songs. Also, love the song he wrote and sang "Anything is Possible". I highly recommend his show.

Ethan was very entertaining. He has a great personality.

Very much enjoyed the genuine nature of such a talented young man. It was also wonderful to see how much Ethan has changed and refined his voice and performance. Thank you for a wonderful performance.

I waited several months for the show to get here. The wait was rewarding!! So much fire in the performances, he is such an awesome young man, and ONLY 13!! I enjoyed his performance with Damian and Chloe. I love both of them very much. I have followed Damian since he was 14 starting out with Celtic Thunder. Ethan's family can be very proud of him. I bought the DVD so I can enjoy the show many times.

Ethan is obviously a child prodigy. His personality and ease of self on stage was the surprise. But, he is still 13 and not yet pretentious. That made for a good show. Damien has come a long way from Celtic Thunder. He has a very good Irish voice and way about him. Would have liked to see him do more. We will definitely go to see either of them again.

This show was wonderful. Ethan Bortnick has so much energy and relates to the audience really well. It's hard to believe he's only 13 yrs old!!! What a performer! Can't wait to see him again . ..

Ethan has such a cute personality for 13 year old. Very pleasing to a crowd of any age. He plays piano magnificently. Very, very talented young man.

Ethan is quite a showman and people of all ages attended his show. He is an amazing young man as well as Damien. I wish him more success and happiness. He definitely deserves it.

The show was outstanding. Ethan Bortnick was dynamite and at his age truly unbelievable. The music, singing and all was great. Damien McGinty was excellent as well along with the Salem and Brandon School Choirs at the end. I saw Ethan on a PBS special and could not wait to see him in person. A must to go see!!

This was an unforgettable performance and congratulations to all who performed, and those behind the scenes to make this event happen.
