Let me explain. First of all is public, and as I mentioned before, people who came to listen to the western music concert are feeling the music in different ways. Audience don’t need the lyrics, but enjoy the sound, keep the traditions of the original musical instrument a very like absolute music. Coming back to performance of House Band who was using special electric musical effects, such as distortion, phases, etc. In case of listening the pop or R&B music the audience can show their emotions by dancing, screaming or singing the song aloud with the singer. During the classical music concert the listeners keep their emotions and feeling inside and show those only after ending of the performance by applauding to the musicians. There is another interesting difference with applause. People show their empathy to artists at any time during or after song they perform in the case of the House band on the stage. In the case of New York Philharmonic concert there are only two reasons to applaud. The first is greeting and to show appreciation before the concert begins when the orchestra members will all be seated on the stage. We applaud again a few moments later when the conductor came onstage. And you can applaud only after the ending of the piece of music, but not during the brief pause between the …show more content…
New York Philharmonic is one of my favorite places to listen to the western classical music. I always have a great positive sense after a concert. To be honest with you, the idea of attending live events is really good and useful for every student. The goal of our educational system is to make people study not only their major material, but also be well rounded and can have a conversation on different topics in other fields of studies. Live musical assignment helps the students improve their knowledge by first learning the theory in the classroom and let use critical thinking ability later during the live musical

    From where i was sitting, on my right i could see people who came late and sat on the lawn it was a very nice day. The weather was just perfect not too hot or cold, it was just exactly right with a bit of breeze. One of the conductor named Wagner came and stood behind the podium and did the introduction plus what is going to be going on and how long the show is going to last. The concert started with both the band and orchestra…

    I do not think any words could have truly described how I nor the rest of the audience felt during that performance. The opinions and analogies of the pieces found in the program notes did slightly influence me. I agreed with and understood most opinions and comments of the performances. The listenings I did for my pre-concert assignment were not nearly the same thing as being in the auditorium. It was a completely different experience to see, hear and feel the performance in person as opposed to watching a video on a screen and trying to listen to the depth of the orchestra through…

    The performance was incredible, the violinist played incredible together as well as the brass and percussion. Ryan Briley, the music major who came to our class one day to demonstrate the digeridoo, was a conductor one of the pieces played in the concert. My favorite part of the concert was the flute soloist Nicole Wells, who was the winner of the ONU Concerto Competition. The performers were dressed in all black. Men wore suits and women wore dress or skirts which ever they preferred.…

    Also, instrumentalists were practicing before they start playing. After that when the maestro came, the lights was like a sunrise. It was awesome and amazing. It fascinated me. Also, between the first two pieces and the third piece it was a five minutes intermission, and between movements they took one minute…

    Attending the Stony Brook Symphony Orchestra was a completely different experience than expected. I was resigned towards it being dull, boring, and tiresome because this is not my preference of music. However, despite attending it with obvious bias, I thoroughly enjoyed it. The whole concert experience was startling with exhilaration. The entire atmosphere stuck out to me, as it was a deep contrast towards my usual pop concerts.…

    Concert Report Two The concert performance given live that I have attended on Thursday April 20th, 2017 was an organ licentiate recital by Ian Guenette. It was held at the Redpath Hall, a building located on McTavish street. The Redpath Hall was first dedicated for a library building, but is now taken charge by the Schulich School of Music. The Hall is very charming with its high selling that contains thick dark brown carved wodden beams that covers the intire ceiling and gives warmth to the room.…

    Once the lights were turned on and centered on the performers, three conductors were welcomed to the stage. Soon after that, music pieces started to play out. For the first piece of music, it started it off with a loud pitch with a fast tempo and resembled the music piece from the Star Wars movie. Personally, I was very fond of this…

    On January 31, 2016, I attended a classical musical concert performed by Chanticleer. The concert was held in the Halton Theater at Central Piedmont Community College. The audience was dressed very casually and most of the people were elderly. This was the first classical concert I have attended, I choose to write about this concert because it’s the one that I liked the most if I had to choose between all the concert that I attended. Chanticleer is a male classical vocal a cappella ensemble comprises twelve men, that include two basses, one baritone, three tenors, and six countertenors (three altos and three sopranos).They mostly know about their interpretations of Renaissance music, but it also performs a wide repertoire of jazz, gospel,…

    Upon attending the International Chamber Music Festival Concert, a certain ecstatic vibe could be felt as the performers walked on stage with their musical instruments. The virtuoso’s performed in pieces that contained trios, duets, and quintets; showing the concentration they required when listening to each other. When working on Chamber Music, much of the melody jumps around from instrument to instrument, show casing various solos and much of the instruments having to coincide with each other to carefully listen for the melody. The first performance, was from Mosaics, by Eric Ewazen, only introducing the first movement: I. Barcarolle. The performers Dr. Susan Berdahl (flute), Dr. Xiaohu Zhou (bassoon), and Dr. James Moyer (marimba), all played outstandingly and show cased exactly how Chamber Music is meant to be played.…

    I feel a little more comfortable at classical concerts now than I did the first time I went to one this semester. In terms of broadening my appreciation for classical style music, I was impressed by how upbeat and fun some of the songs that were performed were. It was actually a very entertaining concert. I would definitely recommend someone to go see the UAH choir, because they are a very impressive group and have really nice voices. I also really liked how the conductor would give us background information before the songs were performed, because this isn’t normally something that is done at a pop or rock style concert.…

    Walking into the auditorium, I immediately noticed that the atmosphere of the concert was completely different from that of the classical concert I attended weeks earlier. To begin with, it seemed like there was much more of an audience. Everyone seemed excited for the concert to start. As for myself, I was also excited because, on the very front of the program, it said that there was a guest artist that was going to perform with the ensemble. The performers wore more of a business casual look, some were a little more dressed up than others, but overall they looked very well dressed.…

    I really enjoy how relaxed it make me feel. This was a really experience for me because it gets to really hear what I was reading about in class. It’s so different how the music could speak to you when I get to listen to it live. This was my first musical concert and really enjoy how the conductors give a speech on each piece they were about to play.…
