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

    I will explain the three pieces that were played at the concert, giving a brief punctual explanation to each. First of all, Fanfare to the Common Man by Aaron Copland was an inspirational piece which opens up with loud drums with a pause then followed by inspirational tones with trumpets. The piece was overall loud then a pause afterwards played very fast. I…

    The University Jazz Combos concert did not focus on formality the way I originally believed it would. Instead of walking into a concert hall to see the performers dressed in black, already set up, and just finishing tuning there was a shocking amount of color, styles of dress, and a flurry of movement. My experience from the last concert lead me to believe that a recital would be just as formal and put together as a symphony performance. In fact, the entire atmosphere of the recital hall was more relaxed than that of an orchestra concert. The overall atmosphere spoke to the type of music presented.…

    It was very quiet and everyone was extremely respectful. I rarely even saw someone whisper to another. Once the performance ended the last memorable demeanor was how long the audience clapped for. We applauded the performers in a standing ovation and the clapping lasted for what seemed like a couple of minutes. The slightest movement or sight of the performers would cause the clapping to intensify.…

    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…

    The lights were dimmed and everyone was silent, simply enjoying the music. The conductor also enhanced the entire experience due to his high energy and obvious love for this music. He conducted and moved with a force equivalent to the storyline. This was wholly seen with the exceptional sound produced by the orchestra. I was immensely impressed with ‘Lemminkäinen Suite, Op.…

    Jazz Night Concert Report The concert that I chose to attend was Jazz Night which was held at the Arnette Scott Ward performing Arts Center on the Pecos campus. I decided to show up to this performance because I have always had an appreciation for the skill and talent it requires to play an instrument. I was pleased by the concert because I heard a wide spectrum of timbre, and I was especially thrilled because I got to hear the brassy sound given off by the trumpets. I used to be a trumpet player…

    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…

    Concerts have always been a way for the general public to experience their favorite artists and musicians perform right in front of them. I myself have been to several concerts, all of which have been rap and hip hop concerts. So going to an orchestral concert was going to be a very different experience to me. I know that there wasn’t going to be any mosh pits or excessive screaming of fans throwing themselves onto the performers. With all that in mind, I was mentally preparing myself for a very different experience, and honestly, I was more than ecstatic to go than I should have been.…

    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,…

    Some of the pieces, bring happy thoughts and some sad. Also, it great to watch the conductors do their stuff, from waving the stick around and telling the players when to play and when to stop. I wonder if it hurt when they shake their head so fast like that. I saw how the other people enjoy all the pieces even if so were a little short then others. I am in love with classical musical now.…

    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.…

    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.…

    The intensity of the message was felt by all of the performers, especially Janine Jansen whose expressions were easily read during the concert. This connection was felt between all of the violinists, the cellists, and the harpsichord player. There was clear nonverbal communication between the number one violin and cello player and their ability to play in perfect unison was outstanding. Conclusion…
