On Tuesday, October 17, 2017, I attended a musical concert. This was the first time I had ever been to a concert and did not play. The concert was not what I expected. I assumed I was going to a symphony that featured a soloist clarinet; however, upon arrival I quickly realized that my previous assumptions were false. My experience was sort of a rollercoaster. One minute I was down and almost asleep; next I was laughing; then I was up and intrigued. The first song played was from a genre that I
For my experience of a “traditional” concert, I had the privilege of being able to attend a concert from one of my personal favorite artists, Post Malone. This concert was held at Binghamton University in the events center, and sold out almost a month in advance of the show, so being able to attend a performance of this magnitude was surely an experience I will cherish. Advertised both by the artist himself and on multiple programs online, these programs were very minimal in information provided
The date of the concert was Friday, November 4 2016 at 7:30PM at the Partridge Hall in the FirstOntario Performing Arts Centre. There were five performers in the Walker String Quartet and the names and instruments of the performers were Vera Alekseeva on the Violin, Gordon Cleland on the Cello, Anna Hughes on the Violin, Andrée Simard on the Viola, and finally the featured guest Zoltan Kalman on the Clarinet. The front stage was lit up with a bright light, and the audience seating was darker with
Nelly Concert On Monday March 25, some members of the baseball team, my girlfriend, and I traveled to Murray State University to watch a concert performed by Nelly and the St. Lunatics. It was a terrible night to go anywhere because it was raining and storming the whole way, but there was nothing that was going to stop us from going to the concert. We where all so hyped up about it and couldn’t wait to head out. My brother, who attends Murray State, had gotten us excellent seats about seventy-five
CONCERT REPORT #2 Beatles Z320 For my second concert report I thought that I would write about my only experience hearing songs of the Beatles live. The Rib America Festival was hosted by The Beatles Live Repertoire. The group dressed exactly like the Beatles, even had the same names, John, Paul, George, and Ringo. I had never heard any Beatles songs live before, so that was enough to get me off my butt. Not to mention, it was free entertainment, not a bad time at all. So the show starts, and
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
Nikko Baez Section 500 Dr. Bustos 10 October 2016 Concert Report 1 On October 19th at around 7 pm, I waited outside a relatively small, worn down building known as Walter’s Downtown, which is located in Down Town Houston. As I walked through the entrance, I was astonished how the front of the building seemed like a regular old music shop with records and guitars on the wall, and a glass showcase. While the back of the building was appropriately bigger in size and contained black and white murals
I attended a concert at Central Piedmont Community College in Tate Recital Hall. The concert started at 12:30 pm. It was Baroque music pieces performed by Webb Wiggins (He was an instructor at CPCC in the late 1970’2 and early 1980’s when the early music program was first begun).When I first got there, I was a little bit nervous because I have never in my life been in a concert. The concert was about to start so I got my paper and pen ready to take notes. As I walked into the concert hall, I was a
Personal Narrative- Concert As the dark stadium filled with fire, with the sounds of guns and bombs exploding everywhere, the crazed fans yelled at the top of their lungs. The enormous stage was rumbling with the sound of a single guitar as the band slowly started their next encore performance. Soon after I realized that I was actually at the Sanitarium concert listening to Metallica play "One", I thought to my self, "Is this real, am I actually here right now?" I had a weird feeling the entire
The final concert I attended was located in Dekelboum Concert Hall at the University of Maryland, the performers included Dr.Hinkle and the UMD Percussion Ensemble. This was their spring concert that highlighted all the work the ensemble had been collaborating on throughout the semester. The variety of repertoire focused on percussion but included a wide array of instruments from a triangle sextet, to a recreation of a John Cages Third Construction that included instruments such as congas, cowbells
On March 21, I attended Band & Jazz Concert at Lindhurst High School. This event was free for audience to attend and it took place in the gym from 7:00pm to 8:30pm. Five different groups performed at this concert, and I attended the whole concert. Yuba College Jazz Ensemble performed second. Their performance was supposed to be conducted by Cookie Molina, but due to family emergency, it was conducted by Dr. Allan Miller. This group was of 17 members. They performed four stylistically different pieces
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
I recently learned about music and gained some culture by visiting a classical show. The opera concert was located at the National Gallery of Art in Washington DC in the west building. The concert was in the honor of African American History month. This was a classical concert and it was free but it was on a first come first seat based. Because there was limited seats available in the area because it was small and some seats were already reserve. They were very strict on people using their phones
The young boy motioned with his arms where to park, as the vehicle came to a stop. My friends and I got out of the car and looked up to see a line of people waiting to get inside. I asked them "So what now? ", since this was my first concert, I did not know what to expect. They said, "Hear that?" I listened and heard music playing in the background. We started walking towards the end of the line that had formed. As we grew closer to the gate, the music got louder, and my heart beat faster. While
Concerto Competition and conducting students of David Itkin put on a concert. The concert began at 8:00 p.m. on Wednesday, February 8, 2017. The concert was conducted by Clay Couturiaux and lasted roughly two hours. Some featured instruments in the concert orchestra included the piano, harp, euphonium, horn, alto saxophone, violin, and double bass. Winspear Hall in the Murchison Performing Arts Center is absolutely beautiful. This concert allowed me to see Winspear for the first time and everything about
A Variety of Jazz Music The live performance I had the pleasure of attending was at Queens College LeFrak Concert Hall. It was Jazz Master Degree Graduation Recital concert in May. 05, 2016, at 3.00 pm. This was one of the few times I have ever attended to Jazz performance. I enjoyed every moment when I was sitting in the hall. There were not many people coming to the concert. The audiences were mostly like professors, friends or families of performers. The stage was set up with basic jazz instruments
Winter Concert-Band The winter concert was a great experience. I especially loved the program because it really showed a decadent design. It showed falling snow, different sized leaves, little cute berries in between the leaves, and right in the middle it stated, “Cedar Ridge Band Winter Concert”. The winter concert part was the biggest part of the entire program, it was there to indicate that the concert is the main focus. The Symphonic Band went first. The music that they chose was Russian Christmas
this concert report I chose to go to a performance of student composers held at the Kimball Recital Hall. I chose this one because I wanted to see some of the talent that my peers have in the music realm, and also it was one of the only concerts I have been able to attend because I usually work at night. It was impressive to hear pieces composed by students. I cannot imagine creating something as complex as a musical composition, much less actually performing it, so this aspect of the concert was
heart beating in my chest; everything seems surreal. In the background I hear people cheering and know that everyone here is waiting for the same reason I am. We're going to see an amazing artist perform, a person who changed most of our lives. A concert is the most amazing experience, it makes you feel more alive than any other time, the rush of energy courses through your body is unlike anything else and you never want to leave. For one night you can forget about everything. Im standing outside
On last Sunday night, I attended the live jazz concert which was performed by The Mike Glisatus Big Band featuring Duane Lawrence. The performance venue is a restaurant named Angelica’s in Redwood City. Since I went into the restaurant, I knew it is the perfect place to enjoy the live concert because the warm atmosphere and gentle style of the restaurant made people easily feel relax to enjoy the music. We had our own table, and the Big Band was on the stage in front of us. Though I did not specialize
