Recommended: Benefits of music festivals

You’re probably asking yourself “Which Festival Should I Go To?” I ask myself the same question every year when it’s time to buy music festival tickets. I’m a local blogger writing about these two famous musical festivals of the year. Every year when its Music Festival season everyone has trouble choosing between Coachella and EDC. Now if you don’t know what a music festival is, it is a festival oriented towards music that is sometimes presented with a theme, for instance musical genre, nationality or locality of musicians. Electric Daisy Carnival is one of the biggest music festivals in the world. EDC is a three-day weekend, known for playing Electronic Dance Music from all over the globe and is held in Las Vegas, NV. They play different sub genres of EDM such as House, Dubstep, Trance, and much more. Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival is an annual two-weekend, three-day music and arts festival held in Indio, CA. EDC usually has big DJ’s like Tiesto, Afrojack, Calvin Harris, and many more. Coachella features many musical genres such as rock, indie, hip hop, and electronic dance music. They can also have major artists perform such as Kanye West, The Xx, Lorde, etc. They also have art installations and sculptures.
EDC focuses mainly on electronic dance music and partying all day. While Coachella is versatile, so anyone can truly go. These two music festivals are great if you don’t mind the travel/stay, artists, and the cost of tickets.
Music Festivals can sometimes be a hassle when trying to get there. EDC is great for someone who lives in Las Vegas, but if you live across the country it can be an inconvenience. For Instance, if you live in Los Angeles it would take about 2 hours or more of driving to get there. One posit...

...till don’t know which Music Festival to attend to because they both sound great to explore. Both festivals are great if you don’t mind the travel to Las Vegas, NV or Indio, CA. They’re also good if you don’t mind paying a lot of money to stay at hotels, or if you want to save money by car camping. The two festivals are practical because you will always have a good time because of good artists performing. If your into a lot of Dubstep and House, EDC will be your friend. If your into Indie or Hip Hop, you might like Coachella better. When it comes to cost that’s entirely up to you. If you have money to go to either one that’s great because you will have the time of you life. The Music Festival you should pick overall should be Coachella, because they have all genres, so anyone can literally go, they have nothing but great vibes, and you’ll save more money than at EDC.

    Seaside Music Festival 2010 was better than the last two years combined but they still have a large demographic to romance up on the boardwalk.

And that’s the ticket that could change this little festival into a major New Jersey event. For further information check out the website at: www.seasidemusicfest.com

    The Seaside Music Festival is only in its third year, but already they have made great strides as far as getting the boardwalk community behind them. Continuity between businesses and city teamwork were evident this weekend thanks to festival co-producer Mike Schwartz. Fellow co-promoters Ryan Sharkey and Jose Anteo were also prepared with interns and section teams out in force to keep things moving. This year’s festival also had many loyal return participants such as The Aztec Motel and Sandbar, The Beach Bar, El Camino and Jack and Bills down the boardwalk as well as several others. Without these stalwarts there would be no festival, it’s a combination of geographic locations, logistics and a community that remains open to new things.

    The Los Angeles County Museum of Art has a website that announces its programs. Anyone can easily find and choose a concert. I chose a concert for Sunday July 25, 2010. This concert was emerging artists from Ipalpiti Festibal 2010. It included the four pieces of music that are described below. One of these was Fantasiestucke, Opus 88, both Romanze and Duet were preformed. This concerto was performed by pianist Luiza Borac, violinist Vladimir Dyo, and cellist Yves Dharamraj. The second piece was Ahnung, a new discovery piece from Kinderszenen. This piece was U.S. Premiere, played solo by the pianist Luiza Borac. The third piece was Piano Quartet in E-flat major, Opus 47. This piece was an Andante cantabile piece. This concerto was performed by pianist Luiza Borac, violinist Conrad Chow and Adelya Shagidullina, and Cellist Kian Soltani. The last piece was Piano Quintet in E-flat major, Opus 44. What I discovered about my own musical understanding by attending this concert is the following thing. I know how to appreciate and to enjoy music that is a little bit familiar, but my understanding stops when a very new type of music is performed. I made a conclusion from this experience. My conclusion is that learning about music will increase the pleasure of listening to music, but that musical learning is not, perhaps, as easy as learning subjects like Math or History.

    ...me like an endangered species and the species many people Southern California love most will rally to ensure the indie scene does not die out. The owner/C.E.O. balances his work by having fun and surrounds himself with the hungriest artists wiling to take their dreams to the next level. The music revolution Blair is setting in place allows independent musicians to flourish by everyone from mangers to musicians and producers working together to launch productive shows. The mover and shaker has a long way to go before hosting a free show at the Staple Center and every show in the meantime will make the future festival that more an important building block. Never let anyone dictate your dreams and be a musical revolutionist who challenges successful mainstream bands to continue to work hard allowing everyone the opportunity to be apart of a great musical community.

    Compared to all the other concerts that I have gone to, the Ron Eschete Trio concert was a definite change in atmosphere. On February 23, 20001 I attended a concert held at Ahmnson Building in Los Angeles County Museum of Art, featuring Ron Eschete on seven string guitar, Todd Johnson on six string bass, and Paul Humphrey on drums. It was three hours long, from 5:30 to 8:30. I arrived there little late because it said to be held on times mirror central court but it was actually playing at lower level of Ahmnson Building.

    In my personal experience in an attending a jazz concert in San Antonio I can say I really had a memorable experience. My jazz concert had taken place on September 27th at the Esquire Tavern in downtown San Antonio at the 3pm. The band that was performing was called the Doc Watkins Trio in which I later found out was a branch of the South Texas Jazz. When I had finally arrived and soon later consulted with the musicians it came to my attention it wasn’t the actual band but musicians that do perform for South Texas Jazz. I was not quite sure on how it worked but was told the “actual band” plays here but they rotate on Sundays. During my experience I was able to identify many things about them and enjoy a nice lunch with my mother while listening

    Attending for the first time at a jazz concert was a great experience; it was performed at the Wolfson Campus. The instruments that took part of it were the drums, piano, saxophone and bass. The piano was the one that mostly called my attention, the pianist was Lynne Arriale, even though at first she had troubles adjusting the amplifier, the melody and rhythm of it was perfect, it made me want to follow the rhythm during the whole concert. The swing and syncopation, improvisation, bent notes and modes helped to keep a great rhythm during the whole performance.

    The festival I have picked to do is the National Cherry Blossom Festival in Washington, D.C. I thought this festival was interesting because it is not just an average festival with delicious food, live music and countless family and friend activities, but a festival to celebrate and honor a friendship between two countries. I think that this is a festival everyone should go and see at least once in their life.

    After a critical review of the experiences gotten from both the two concerts, I would easily recommend the jazz concert over the orchestra for anyone seeking a place to relax and unwind. This is because I felt unlike in the orchestra concert which was characterized by formal behavior and a number of unwritten rules that members of the audience had to abide by. The jazz concert allowed for the audience to be themselves and enjoy the music in the manner they deemed to be
