The New Jersey Chamber Singers and the Bridgewater-Raritan High School Symphonic Choir performed a choral concert, Psalms from Age to Age, located at The Presbyterian Church of Toms River. This performance by both of these choirs was impressive, as well as organized due to the talent and easy flow between each song. This performance was in a beautiful church with stained glass windows; the windows provided a sense of colorful light inside of the church, which I loved. The inside of the church…

He started to take piano lessons at the age of four with his father and just two years later at the age of six he began to compose his very own music.

Four years later when Otto was 16, he made his first debut as…

The musician I did for my paper was Sharon Kam. Sharon Kam is a 45 year old classical clarinetist. Her major career started when she was 16 and she joined the Israeli Philharmonics and director Zubin Mehta on stage while she performed the Mozart Clarinet Concerto. Not long after, she performed the Clarinet Quintet with the Guarneri String Quartet in Carnegie Hall, New York. She loves playing and listening to Mozart. Sharon Kam is one of the most influential clarinet players because she has…

Maureen Hynes in 1982, the Chamber Music Festival has been bringing together talented musicians of all ages to its location at Long Island University (LIU) Post for 34 years. The festival hasn't always had such a large attendance. Deaver recalls when there would only be about 25 people and the program was just two weeks long. Now, just a couple years ago, they had a record-breaking attendance of 130 people. “In the past 15 years, people have gotten more into chamber music,” Deaver said to…

beautiful songs with 300 voices in a choir. Luckily, I have been blessed to have many opportunities like this with the Rancho Cucamonga High School Chamber Singers.…

The Diddley Bow Plus The guitar has been a staple of music for generations, used in such a large variety of music. In our paper we will be explaining the parts of the guitar how the work, the physics of the guitar with sound waves and how they relate to the guitar working properly. We will then describe how the overall guitar works and we will go through the process which is the guitar making sound and incorporate the parts into how they help make the guitar work. The Diddley Bow guitar…

atmosphere of the recital hall was more relaxed than that of an orchestra concert. The overall atmosphere spoke to the type of music presented. As stated before the concert was not what I was expecting. I enjoyed it more than I believed I would, it certainly isn’t my new favorite type of music, but understanding aspects of it gave me a greater appreciation for the music and the musicians. Things such as a recognizable basso ostinato set by the base player were a familiar starting point. When…

I attended a classical music concert on Saturday. The concert is part of a fifteen-day USA tour of the chamber orchestra that originated in London, the Academy of St. Martin In The Fields with Joshua Bells. Joshua Bells is a very well-known violinist and music director of the Academy of St. Martin In The Fields. Joshua Bells is the first person to hold the title of music director of this chamber orchestra since the orchestra was formed in 1958 by Sir Neville Marriner. People were dressed very…

Performing at Sergustrom Hall with the Honors Chambers Strings Orchestra was one of the most exciting moments in my life. I was four when I started to play violin, and I used the “Suzuki” book series to improve my violin skill. Each book had a new level of difficulty. I averaged on finishing one book per year, though as the years went by, the books took me longer and longer to finish. After finishing book five, I went onto my book six mark for a total of seven years of playing violin. In third…
