Jazz Concert Review I enjoy and listen to variety of music from classical music to rap music. I have attended many concerts, mostly symphony bands concerts. However, interestingly, through whole my life, I have never experienced jazz music and I have never been to jazz concert. Therefore, it was hard for me to decide which jazz concerts would give me most pleasure and exciting experience. I researched for jazz concerts listing and I have decided to go to the Ron Eschete Trio Concerts because
famous reply was “if you had to ask, you’ll never know”. Whatever else he meant, he was at least saying that jazz is noticeable, but not necessarily understandable by words. (do not really know exact cite where I have got this quote) For my concert review, I went to see the performance of Maynard Ferguson and his big band at Jazz Alley on Jan. 12th 2015. I asked some of my friends to join and they gladly agreed. Since two of my friends were a musician themselves and loved seeing live music whenever
Classical Concert Who likes classical music anyway? That is a question that you may have found me asking a few months ago. As I have listened to the music in class and on my CD that came with the text book, I have noticed that I am growing a little bit more fond of this style of music. I had never really given it a chance until I started attending my younger sister’s concerts and really paying attention to the music. I have realized that classical music isn’t half bad. modern rock is still
Lana Del Rey in Concert For this assignment I have chosen to write a concert review on one of my favorite artist Lana Del Rey. I went to see her in late June in Charlotte at the PNC Music Pavilion. She was on her first headlining American tour called The Endless Summer Tour promoting her album Ultraviolence. I have followed Lana Del Rey for several years now and having the opportunity to see her live was an exhilarating experience. Classified as an alternative artist she offers many sides of her
On Thursday December 10th, I attended a concert at Richland College, where set up on the stage, were an array of percussion instruments, but the first half of the show that we watched only used mallet instruments and drums. I had even heard them practicing right before the concert and the sounds escaping through the doors were actually very relaxing. Even then, I set my expectations low, because after all this was a community college and down one of the stairs I had noticed a cockroach scurrying
Have you ever been in a music concert, and you're really, really bored, and you almost fall asleep in the middle of the concert? Well, I will be talking about some things that might make the concerts more interesting. I will also talk about some people who are just like those people who are playing, except even more important. Above all, if you want to be like a musician like the person who was playing in the concert, look at this website, and you may find something on here that you might want to
I recently attended a music forum that was held at the front auditorium of Hudgins hall on April 28th, 2016. This forum was held to showcase a few styles of music by the students and faculty at Angelina College. The event had a maximum of 15 people in attendance but the music department still went on with a great show. The music forum consisted of 5 different acts of from vocals and piano to a small orchestra. Each individual performance was unique in its own way. Some were very simple but powerful;
I recently attended the St. Marys Area School District All District Concert held in the high school’s Carpin Auditorium on May 18, 2017. The concert featured over 200 musicians in grades four through twelve, all coming from the various schools in the district (St. Marys Area School District). Parents, relatives, and fellow students made up the audience of passionate supporters. Therefore, the audience was enthusiastic and quick to applaud every performance. The instruments included typical instruments
On Friday April 8, 2016 I attended a choral concert at the Leo J Welder Center. The concert began at 7:30, and it lasted about an hour. The concert consisted of the Victoria College Choirs and the Victoria Civic Chorus, with Marylynn Fletcher as the conductor. Most of the music played was retrieved from Operas and Pictures. Composition Title Composer Style Period Fiddler on the Roof Tradition Sabbath Prayer Matchmaker Sunrise, Sunset To life! Anatevka Jerry Brock (1928-2010) Contemporary Bell
On October 29th, I attended the KISS concert held at the Honda Center in Anaheim with a fellow classmate. It wasn't exactly a concert that I have been dying to go see, but time was running out and I needed a concert to write this report on. We left for the concert about two hours in advance in an effort to avoid the hassle of heavy traffic and minimal parking, which proved to be a little too fruitful as we arrived nearly forty-five minutes prior to showtime. Our seats, to my surprise, were quite
On December 14, 2017 I attended the CVHS Christmas Concert “The Joy of Christmas” in the Canyon View High School auditorium. The production was put on by the Canyon View High School Music Department and featured bands, orchestras, and choirs. The Concert began with the Marching Band and tuning their instruments in preparation for the concert. The Marching Band was also joined by the Colla Voce. The Marching Band and Colla Voce consisted of about 30 students for each of the two groups. The Marching
Music is virtually everywhere we go, no matter if it is background noise in a coffee shop or singing along while shopping for groceries, we can find music somewhere. The event I attended was the Flint Symphony Orchestra on October 8, 2016. I have never attended a symphony before so I was excited to go, especially since I had invited my friend to attend with me. For this event, I was already informed by my teacher that the symphony will be formal so we needed to look the part since others will be
If you’ve ever attended a high school choir concert you will notice the director nicely dressed and ready to direct the choir. You will notice all the kids lined up by parts, some with sweaty hands and other with nervous smiles. If you were to attend a concert at Westland High School today you would have to look closely to notice a girl, standing with the soprano group, smiling proudly not at the crowd but at the lights. Her skin is tan, she is not from the United States, yet she spent most of her
all the different quizzes and discussion posts we have done, I can say since my last concert I attended I have grown more comfortable with the styles of music we have went through. For my second Concert Report I really wanted to go to another performance that had an added feature to make the performance that much more enjoyable. Right after submitting my first concert report I started looking through the concert calendar to see which ones intrigued me the most. My attention was instantly caught by
would like to express some thoughts on our band’s (concert band) performance. Personally, I felt far more relaxed during this concert, partially because of the fact that there were less people in the audience and also because it was my second concert. Overall, I felt I had good performance, and that it was a lot easier to play this concert, as I was not as nervous as before. I felt that i played reasonably well during the duration of our concert, and I would probably give myself a grade of an B+/A-
Morton Gould’s Spirituals for Orchestra takes the listener through an entire range of emotions. In the beginning of the first section, “Proclomation”, the strings have a tenacious and unyielding quality about them between the more severe blasts of the snare drum. The music then transitions to an alternation between the violins and cellos. Though in this transition the music is quieter, there is a mood of anger or pain throughout the section. There is a change of mood in the beginning of the next
Concert Review of Slipknot We arrived at the concert around sun set. As we pulled up to the entrance, all I could see was a mass of humans. They scattered around the front of the building, some going in and coming out. In the middle of all the transportation devices there were a few men, in black suits, who pointed in different directions. They stopped groups of humans to allow the transportation devices by and vice versa. We now left our "car" with a group of other "cars" and made our way
For this concert review, I selected to attend The Nutcracker. The performance was conducted at Playhouse Square, in Cleveland, Ohio. The show was held on Saturday, December 3rd at 2pm. This was the first time that I had attended an event like this. I have been to other concerts, but none were as elegant as this performance. Prior to this class, I did not realize the amount of classical music that has influenced our society. Tchaikovsky compositions are a prime example of how this style of music
On Saturday, September 24, 2016, at 8 pm, I attended the Bach & Beethoven concert performed by the Los Angeles Chamber Orchestra and conducted by Jeffrey Kahane, music director. This event took place at the Alex Theatre in Glendale, California. The duration of the program was about 1 hour and 30 minutes. This was a very special night for me because it was my first time going to a classical music concert. I have heard music like this at weddings, movies, elevators, Cadillac commercials, or scanning
For the first concert report, I have decided to attend the Divan Consort performance. As I entered the Meng Concert Hall, I noticed that the whole building has a round shaped theme. The sides of the walls are shaped into cones and the seats are set up along the same design, which is circumnavigated around the stage. Above the stage is another few rows of seats that may include vocal performers. Also, the venue appears to be extremely wide and high. For instance, the height from the stage to the ceiling
