Concert Essays

Concerts are music performances done to a live audience. The audience may be a small one, or a large one, depending on the kind of concert it is, and the kind of music that is played in the concert. In this case, the concert in question is the Young People's Concerts under the musical direction of Leonard Bernstein. The concert is a combination of pieces done by Holst named The Planets, which include Mars and Venus among others. The performance in the Young People’s Concert is done to a group of

Saturday, May 9, 2015 I attended a concert featuring my favorite R&B artist by the name of Ginuwine. This concert was located at Riverside Theater in downtown Milwaukee. The concert was named One Night Stand and also included two other R&B sensations by the name of Tank and RL who was a member of a group called Next. The concert setting was very intimate. The artist made it a point to connect with their fans and even went as far as getting into the crowds. It was low lit lighting with shades

were three sections where people can sit which in the left side has barely anyone sitting, in the middle section it was full, and in the right section there are half as many people in the middle section. I can see that most people that came to the concert are in their 20’s to 30’s, which there were no old people or teenagers. You can hear echo’s when people are talking in the auditorium. The audience became silence as the lights were shut off dark. Soon there was a light shining

The concert that I attended was called Voices of Villainy. It was held on October 19, 2015 in the Performing Arts Center. This event was put on by the Texas A&M University- Corpus Christi choir. It was made up of twenty singers, with the majority of them singing solos. There were three duets during the whole show. The pieces that everyone performed were taken from movies and plays that include villains. The songs were all ones that the villains in these movies originally sang. The singers

Concert Report After carefully reviewing all of the musical events that the Department of Music at Texas A&M – Corpus Christi had to offer, I had decided to attend the University Symphony Orchestra’s concert, which had that featured Dr. Carrie Pierce as a guest artist, that was held in the Performing Arts Center on March 1st, 2016 at 7:30 pm. I wanted to go to this specific concert for the fact that I had never been to an orchestra concert as well as my interest was sparked as to what the performers

For this, my second concert assignment, I attended Austin Civic Orchestra’s “One of Our Own” on Saturday, November 7, 2015 at the Lake Travis Performing Arts Center. Being that the performance was to be held at a high school campus, I was expecting for the theater to look somewhat like a converted gym, but as I walked, in I was blown away by just how beautiful it was. While I waited for the concert to begin I read through the program, and being the concert novice that I am, saw only four pieces

One social issue that we've discussed that applied to this concert was racism. A lot of people stereotype Native Americans and imagine something very different from reality. If we were to be open minded and actually get to know more about Native American culture, people would be surprised at what they discover, as

For my second concert report, I went to see South Alabama’s Flute Choir and Celtic Crue perform in the Spring Concert.

The concert was on Thursday March 30, 2017 at 7:30 pm in the Laidlaw Recital Hall. The first piece was A Gaelic Offering by Catherine McMichael and consisted of two movements. This piece was a flute quartet in the first movement, but in the second movement one

I was thrilled when I found out that as an assignment we would have to go to a concert and write about our experience. I love going to concerts at Club Downunder. Fall semester last year I went to concerts almost every night with my roommate. I even went to concerts of bands I had never heard of before, just to have fun and enjoy the concert experience. This semester I have not been to nearly as many concerts, but I did go to a few and enjoyed them immensely. I saw Diarrhea Planet (for the second

Concert Report #1: Music Faculty Showcase The Music Faculty Showcase was a chance for majority of the musical faculty to showcase their musical abilities. Music performed was on no specific era or genre of music and mostly was comprised of solos and duets used to compliment and illustrate the musician’s talents and abilities. The concert overall was quite long lasting about two hours, but was quite entertaining. Majority of the instructors have quite a sense of humor, such as one of the musicians

On November 3rd, I had the pleasure of seeing the Fall Band Concert. There were two separate halves of the concert. I stayed for the first half, and I was able to see the Varsity Band, Percussion II, and Symphonic Band II. They performed many songs, but my favorite were “As Summer Was Just Beginning”, “Majestia”, and “Toboggan”. The song “As Summer Was Just Beginning” was slow and classical. It was composed by Larry Daehn. The Varsity Band performed it and they were staged in a “U” shaped formation

On the cold night of November 17th 2015, the Oklahoma City Community College music program put on the Student Holiday Blues Concert at 7:00 pm in the Bruce Owens Theater.

Tiffane Shorter, Kia Shorter, and Marta Seitz all sang vocals. The music was all Christmas and holiday orientated and it was part of the blues genre.

associated with a concert is widely experienced, but it is seldom able to be put into tangible description, let alone make sense to anybody who hasn’t experienced it firsthand. Concerts are a journey with many stages that take place over the course of weeks, even months, and the unpredictably exciting nature of the experience amplifies the strength of the emotions felt. The complexity of the situation is frequently overlooked, mostly because many believe that the emotional effects of a concert start and

We all got the amazing chance to attend the Chicago Sinfonietta featuring Mucca Pazza concert on September 22, 2014. The concert consisted of the Chicago Sinfonietta and Mucca Pazza. This concert is one of the first concerts that I have been to that I will never forget, as it was very unique to say the least. The concert started off with a few selections from the Chicago Sinfonietta. They played English Folk Song Suite by Vaughan Williams, Dance in the Canebrakes by Florence Price and Young Person’s

The members of the orchestra are very good at working together and producing wonderful sounds. Attending this concert was very cool and was definitely something I was not used to, but I enjoyed the performance. I enjoyed the performance because it was different than what I was used to and it always kept me interested with all the dynamics and different instruments

On October 19, 2017, I attended the Thursday, 8:00 PM Fall Band Concert. The Neuqua Valley Music Department presented the Wind Symphony, the Wind Ensemble, and the Wind Orchestra. One of the most impactful elements of the performances was the ability of the composer and the performers to express a message to the audience through the music itself. This concept was most prominent in Irish Tune From County Derry by Percy Aldridge Grainger. The title page of the music had the inscription, “Lovingly

For the second concert report, I went to go see the Paul Di Blasi Band at the Culver City Hotel. This was actually the second time I had attended this venue, it was decorated similarity to last time. The venue was very vintage in terms of its decor, it truly had an old school feel, it made you fee like you were in the 1920s. The hotel was dimly lit, and had a jazzy and supper club atmosphere. Almost everyone was dressed up but also casual, and the music was perfect for this setting. From the moment

The concert that I attended was the UIC Wind Ensemble concert on October 17, 2015 at 7:30 pm, in the UIC Theater and was about an hour to two hours long.

Some other performers was The New Century Saxophone Quartet, Chris Heming way (Member of the Stan Rubin
