2014, I attended a symphony orchestra at CSU. This is my first time attending a symphony concert; going into the concert I did not think that I would like the concert and the environment also I did not think that there was going to be a lot of people coming. At the beginning of the concert the conductor introduced himself and the symphony and talked about the history of it and played a little bit of each of the four movements and explained everything about them. The Symphony No. 5 in B Flat Major
The Boston Symphony Orchestra is one of the most historical groups that was created in Boston Massachusetts. The Boston Symphony Orchestra Andris Nelsons’ Inaugural Concert took place in September of 2014. The concert was aired on television in May of 2015. The concert was dedicated to welcoming the new director of the Boston Symphony. The concert took place in one of the most proclaimed orchestra halls simply named Boston Hall. The complete orchestra was directed by Andris Nelsons himself. Along
schedules and bad timing of concerts I sadly was not able to enjoy a live rendition of a concert. So, I have instead decided to view an online video by the Chicago Symphony Orchestra and their rendition of Ludwig van Beethoven’s 9th Symphony in D minor. The performance was conducted by director Riccardo Muti, and was played in the Chicago Symphony Center. Before the performance there was a small but meaningful moment of dedication for a young individual named Charlie, who would have been nineteen on the
I watched an online video of a concert by The London Symphony Orchestra. They did a rendition of the song known as Unchained Melody. This song was originally performed by an artist called Righteous Brothers. The place I heard the concert was on YouTube. I heard the concert on April 18, 2016. The music I was heard was very pleasing to the ear. It was soothing, steady, and pleasant. It matched up to the rhythm and beat of the original song perfectly. The performers were attempting a historically "authentic"
I attended the last performance of the Baylor Symphony Orchestra on April 27, 2017 at 7:30pm. The concert was held in Baylor University’s Jones Concert Hall. The environment of the concert was pleasant. The concert hall was cavernous but lacked any balcony seating. Nevertheless, there was plenty of room for attendees to sit. The clothing of people attending the concert varied greatly. Younger people, presumably students of the university, wore causal clothing while older people wore formal to semi-formal
On Saturday, February 22 the Illinois Symphony Orchestra performed their first program of their 2014 season at Sangamon Auditorium conducted by Alastair Willis. The program was called “Shimmering Shakespeare” because the second act was made up of movements from the ballet, Romeo and Juliet. The first half of the performance was a percussion concerto with a featured guest artist, Joseph Gramley. The performance used all of the traditional orchestra instruments but there were extra emphasis on the
Appalachian Symphony Orchestra performed, Morning,Noon, and Night in Boone. The Orchestra was arranged on stage in a normal set up, the concertmaster was on the left hand side of the Conductor, the strings in the front, woodwinds in the middle, and brass and percussions in the back. The instruments in the back were on an elevated platform, so there sound could project and be heard. Before the conductor came out, the concertmaster signaled each section to play a note. Once, the conductor came out
The Symphony Orchestra concert was preformed by The OU School of Music with Jonathan Shames as a conductor and they presented Sutton Concert Series. In addition, the Orchestra concert performed at Paul F. Sharp Concert Hall in October 12, 2015.There were like forty-one performers on the stage including the conductor using different types of instruments and and all of them were wearing a nice black clothes. The stage was a quite large with wooden floor and there were two floors for the audience with
On February 23, I attended the 17th Annual Sphinx Competition held at the Detroit Orchestra Hall. The concert was phenomenal, and surprisingly enough to me I actually relished the performance. The reason the concert satisfied me was due to the fact of the meaning that was upheld throughout the concert. The Sphinx Orchestra is an amazing foundation in which supports Black and Latino string classical musicians and gives them a chance to better their life through the prodigious gift of scholarships
American Symphony Orchestra performed five pieces by various composers. The pieces performed at the American Symphony Orchestra include Alleluia, Dream-king and his love, Symphony NO.2, Music for Cello and Orchestra, and Cantares. Various well-known composers such as Randall Thompson, Horatio Parker, George Rochberg, Leon Kirchner, and Roberto Sierra composed the pieces included. All of which have an amazing skill and talent in composing music, which has been demonstrated by the American Symphony Orchestra
On Saturday September 16, 2017, I attended the Wilmington Symphony Orchestra. The symphony has never been an event that I would typically attend on my own. The style of music that is typically played at the symphony orchestra, classical music is not the kind of music I would willing listen to in my free time. This was not the first time I have ever attended the symphony, my mother has taken me before, as well as my school for field trips. It was interesting to experience this on my own, without
Beethoven’s 9th Symphony orchestra was performed in concert by both the magnificent Chandler Symphony and the lovely choir of Chandler-Gilbert Community College the 9th Symphony was played in D minor. All four movements were played beautifully by the numerous instruments that were involved with the concert. Of course, the string family played tremendously, along with the brass family and the percussion family. The performance took place in a beautiful concert hall. While performing, the lights were
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 dressed fancy. This made me curious how this event will turn out. Walking
The performance that I attended was of the Ottawa Symphony Orchestra playing the Overture to The creatures of Prometheus, by Beethoven, the Concerto for Orchestra by Kodaly, and Harold in Italy, by Berlioz. The orchestra was conducted by David Currie, and I think that they played very well overall. The stage was brightly lit from both on stage and the front of house and the musicians were arranged in a semi circle around the podium. The back rows of the strings section were mounted on risers and
One of the pieces the UC Davis Symphony Orchestra performed was Carnival Overture, op. 92, composed by Antonin Dvorak. The conductor at this concert was Christian Baldini and the main violinist was Shawyon Malek-Salehi. This piece was made in the Romantic era with an orchestra instrumentation. The genre for this piece is concert overture and has a sonata form in a similar formate to other sonata forms from the Romantic era, making it sound dramatic compared to the Classical era’s sonata era. The
On Thursday November 5, I had the opportunity to see the Toronto Symphony Orchestra perform a student concert called Big Bold Brass. The concert was set to teach students the various techniques and skills of the many brass players in the orchestra. They, along with guest tubist Øystein Baadsvik played several pieces showing the virtuosity in the styles brass instruments can play. The first piece they perform was Festive Overture by Dmitri Shostakovich. They then played the fanfare from La Peri. At
1. Preliminary research Before the show to see the performance of the American Symphony Orchestra, I only research the Orchestra by visiting their website. I found out that their mission is to provide affordable music to everyone and that the new director and conductor Leon Botstein is taking the mission to provide affordable music. As for the piece A Mass of life I did not look until after the performance. 2. Describe the audience so vividly and in such detail that a reader can visualize them and
On December 7, I had the honor of attending a very popular Dallas Symphony Orchestra Concert. It was the first formal concert I have been to since I was in middle school (excluding the school concerts). Despite playing a woodwind instrument myself, I decided to see the DSO’s Organ and Brass Concert, curious to hear how instruments traditionally assigned bass or harmony parts would step up to play treble and melody parts. When I sat down close to the front stage, where all the brass players and percussionists
I have been to many different concerts throughout my life but this year I experienced two exceptionally unique ___ that I had never seen before. The first one was a spectacular chamber recital that took place at the Chicago Symphony Orchestra performed by pianist Yefim Bronfman and violist-violinist Pinchas Zukerman. The program included Schubert's Violin Sonatina No. 2 in A Minor, Beethoven's Violin Sonata No. 7 in C Minor, and Brahms’ Viola Sonata No. 1 in F Minor. The second was a performance
