Concert Report: University of Utah Chamber Choir 4/26/16 The first piece of the evening was “Versa est in Luctum” by Tomás Luis de Victoria.. Throughout the piece, the University of Utah Chamber Choir: did a nice job of creating nice gentle crescendos. This was created by the connection the choir and their conductor created with each other.
On December 7, the Monticello High School mixed and concert choirs presented a choral program called “An Olde Tyme Radio Choral Concert” in the high school auditorium. It was directed by Mr. Brett Kniess, and Janice Vetter was the pianist. The songs were chosen to put the audience in the holiday spirit, and in my opinion, it accomplished this goal. The first five songs were sung by a mixed choir of freshman and sophomores.
The Lovell High School Concert Band had an amazing concert on the 30th of November. The songs included Celebration and Tribute, Sleigh Ride, Spirit of the Highlands, with a bonus of the combined band on Jinge, Jinge, Jingle. While all the songs were good, they were not spectacular. One that stands out to me is Celebration and Tribute.
It’s a perfect night for a concert, warm, calm, and overall elegant. On Friday, September 11 in the Nightingale Concert Hall, a fabulously performed concert called the Argenta Concert Series, The Fifth Anniversary Season, directed by Dmitri Atapine and Hyeyeon Park, took place. In this performance the following musicians performed; Stephanie Sant’Ambrogio on the violin, Dustin Budish on the viola, and James Winn on the piano. Not only that, there was also a guest appearance by Jonah Kim on the cello. Although not the best turnout, there was still a decent audience.
I attended the Student Jazz Concert at the Bruce Owen Theatre located on the campus of OCCC on October 17, 2017. The group that was performing consisted of students from the Southeast High School and OCCC. I decided to attend this concert from the recommendation of my teacher, Professor Boyle. He had mentioned to the class that it would be a wonderful jazz concert and would be worth our wild to attend. He also offered extra credit points to attend, so this helped in many students decision to attend.
On the night of October 13th, I had the pleasure of attending a seven-person ukulele band performance at the Eisenhower Auditorium at State College. The ukulele is basically just a smaller version of a guitar, but capable of an impressive range on four stings. It was the first time that I got an opportunity to watch such a divine performance by artists from across the Atlantic. The group showcased a unique talent by finding the hidden beauty between old tunes and new songs, which were harmoniously fused together. When I was going for the performance, I thought that it would be a two-hour long show where the band would just be playing the ukuleles while singing along but it was much more than that.
Besides being an established composer and conductor, he was the director of the Eastman School of Music for over forty years. His Chorale and Alleluia is one of his most notable wind band pieces. Through not set to any particular religion, it follow much of the same feeling of joyous celebration and exaltation found in many religious
Despite my passion for athletics, I have spent the majority of my high school career involved in show choir. I participate in the Executive Session at Sauk Prairie High School. Show choir incorporates training under professional choreographers, undergoing numerous voice lessons, and traveling the country for competitions. This self-disciplinary activity pushes me to work hard and strive for perfectionism while taking leadership roles in a professional environment. Furthermore, show choir allows me to impact others through my performance and to take risks. The community is incomparable, and through it I have grown greatly as both a performer and a
I attended to a concert performed by the San Francisco Symphony Youth Orchestra on November 13th this year. This concert took place in the Davies Symphony Hall in San Francisco. I chose to attend to this concert because I have never been to a performance by any youth orchestra, I was curious to see how their performance would compare to other orchestras.
It’s August 20th, 2012 and my first day of school as a Hampton-Dumont Bulldog. I’ve just finished my fourth hour class and now I’m walking down the noisy hallway towards the choir room for my next class. I’ve always loved to sing and I’m excited to start my first day in a new choir. Walking down the hallway I start to wonder, what will it be like? Where will I sit? Am I good enough to be apart of a topnotch high school choir? Hopefully good answers to these questions will come my way.
Growing up I was consumed by an interesting assortment of music. Musical influences were thrown at me from all directions. Whether it was the rock and roll and punk rock music my dad listened to, or the country and pop music my mom listened to, my ears were always full of different arrays of music. Having my grandma blasting gospel music and my older sister jamming Disney, music became a very influential part of my childhood.
Over 300,000 people around the world have received cochlear implants (NIDCD, 2014). Research showing the importance of early intervention for children with hearing loss has led to children receiving the implants (CIs) earlier and earlier. However, by the time children are approved for the implant, have the surgery, and have the implant programmed, they can lose up to two years of hearing experience. This lost time puts children behind their normal-hearing peers in speech, language, and social development. After so much lost time, children need extra support to catch up to their hearing peers. A comprehensive auditory (re)habilitation program should include: regular visits to the clinic to work on tasks with the goal of improving listening
Opening with a number titled “Tres Epitafios,” a song composed by Spanish and Mexican composer Rodolfo Halffter (1900-1987). Born in 1988, Wilma Alba Cal is a teacher, producer, and composer of the second song “Portico.” For their third song, the group from USC performed a song by a Venezuelan composer named Beatriz Bilbao. This composer happened to be a teacher of the conductor for the choir. In the final section of the song, the choir used mouth noises, “where the voices freely express sounds of murmurs, whispers, breaths, etc., while the dynamic contour moves from mezzo-piano to nothing” (writer).

What all goes into writing a song? How did the artist come up with that idea? What was going through their head? Writing a song can be a long process. For some artist it can take up to three months to write a song, for others they can write a song in five minutes or less. It all depends on who the artist is and if they are inspired to write or not.
