Benefit concert

practicing, the industry has moved a long and hands you an extra cup and a blindfold…” (Atkins, M., n.d.). This just goes to show that as a tour manager, he/she needs to be thinking in terms of what’s next. He/she cannot focus on the past, but needs to have the mentality to learn, experience, and focus on the future. Another significant change has to do with the convenience of music now and the services offered for live entertainment. Since the creation of online music streaming, live concert attendance has taken a hit. Not all hope is lost. Zoe Keating, a cellist, demonstrates how one can increase the sales of a live concert by using a helpful service. Keating used a service called, Detour. Detour is a program from Songkick, which is a crowdfunding site that lets music fans place advance orders for tickets for a possible concert (M, G., 2013). This program helps concert attendance by eliminating all of the extra work and makes buying tickets simple. In conclusion, it helps increases concert goers because of the decreased work and hassle involved in purchasing tickets. So overall, it is always important when producing a tour, to know what your fans want and how to get them to them there.…

Concert Report 1 I went to see the New Music Festival at The University of Texas at San Antonio on March 9, 2016 where the Avalon String Quartet performed at 7:30 pm. The performance featured all contemporary songs. The stage was large, lighted very well, and even had a secret door in the wall for the performers to walk in and out from. The performers had their instruments at hand and each of them had a gorgeous, antique looking stool to sit on during the performance. The seating for the…

On Wednesday September 29, 2015, at 5:00 pm, I attended an organ concert held in Broyhill music hall on the campus of Appalachian State University. The organist was Keith Weber and he was accompanied by James with special appearances by opera singer Pricilla Porterfield, and obo player Alicia Chapman, and Rob Flavo on percussion. It was a rainy, cloudy and just a plain dreary type of evening. I thought that and organ concert might be just the type of anticlimactic end to such a day. Even though…

The UT Dallas School of Arts and Humanities presented a concert at the Jonsson Performance Hall titled “A Renaissance Faire.” They held showings October 28th & 29th from 8 PM to 9:30 PM. The show featured the UT Dallas Chamber Singers and students from Advanced Vocal Instruction. The concert singers preformed mainly a cappella, but they were also accompanied by accompanist Michael McVay, who played an electronic piano modified to sound like a lute. Kathryn Evans, the conductor, also accompanied…

Experiencing a concert live is breath taking because it comes to realization how much work the artist has put into the music and choreography. Listening to the album is based off of visuals in your head as of what is going on in the song, or how the story is being played out. The concert is about giving the fans a show, but artist also let fans join in on the songs while they sing it just to see how many people actually listen to the music that they have been putting out. You could anticipate…

I have had some of the most incredible moments of my life at concerts. Seeing bands you love live and in person can make you love the band even more. Jumping around and singing to the lyrics is infectious and you feel as though the people around you are your family. They all love the band like you do, know all the lyrics like you do, and cheer loudly like you do. When the band’s lyrics are very inspirational or have helped you through a hard time, going to their live show is especially…

Holiday Concert Evaluation After a long summer vacation and a few months that seemed to go by fast, but felt like a lifetime, Concert Band finally had its first formal winter concert. List three positive musical aspects about the concert: I have to admit, since playing in Concert Band for two years now, this winter concert felt different than the rest. (In a total good way.) Maybe it's because I’m an 8th grader this year, and I know the rest of the 8th graders in this class so that way…

Over the course of this past summer I have had the opportunity to attend numerous live shows ranging from the traditional deep southern sounds of bluegrass, to the stylistic hard and raw sounds of rock and roll. Standing apart from all the rest, a new up and coming Indie Pop band, put on quite literally the greatest show I’ve ever seen. At that concert I experienced a feeling of true exhilaration. Nothing else can come close to the feeling right before they took stage, when the lights cut out,…

The Arapahoe Philharmonic put on the first concert I attended this semester. The performance was entitled “New World Discoveries” and it contained three main selections. First, they played the Overture to The School for Scandals. Then, they played a collection of works called Five Mystical Songs that included a vocal soloist. They concluded the evening with Symphony No. 9 in E minor from The New World. My favorite piece of the night was by far Symphony No. 9 in E minor, but the concert as a…
