Concert band

found during a concert; a Melanie Martinez concert. Melanie’s style and general theme of her concerts can more than often be described as possessing a whimsical, carnival, feel due to her usage of circus props, such as a carousel, and distinct carnival pop tunes. This, along with her innocent yet powerful voice, has piqued the interest of many alternative music listeners. I am no exception. As of fall 2016, I had the pleasure to witness her eccentric performance unfold in live concert. The…

Unforgettable with Stephanie Aaron and the Bradley Jazz Ensemble was a very unique experience. I do not attend many concerts, but the ones that I have gone to were nothing like this one. The concert was full of energy and the lighting was dynamic. I mostly went to traditional concerts, but this jazz concert was much more energetic. When musicians would finish a solo the crowd would applaud and there was a lot of movement among the ensemble. For example, during the piece “Sing Sing Sing” the…

For this concert report, I attended the Cash Cash concert at Dunnkirk. This was on a Tuesday night and it was very packed. Luckily, I got there early and was able to stand in the very front row, so I had a great view and could hear great. Before Cash Cash performed, ad DJ Matt Molewyk performed. I would say that this was the starting indicator. While he started to play, people starting trickling in because they knew that Cash Cash would start playing soon. When Cash Cash came on, the…

What can I say besides what an amazing experience? As I basically stumbled into the Verizon hall trying to seem as prim and proper as possible I began to feel the intensity of what I was going to experience. As the performers tuned their instruments, and were prepping to begin their performance I felt a multitude of different emotions and trained to maintain my composure because I actually became somewhat excited in anticipation. I never really realize how massive the areas I am are until I…

The captivating sounds of drums, and passionate voices singing, as I walked into the Alaskan Airlines Arena, will forever be embedded into my memory. My words will never give this music its rightful justice. Therefore, I highly recommend that everyone, at least once, attend a Powwow, and experience this incredible music for themselves. Although this was a class assignment, my wife and children came along with me. I thought it was a good way for us to enhance our cultural awareness, and…

be incredibly quiet in order to not disturb anyone else. However, for this performance there was an incredibly joyous vibe and a lax attitude due to the style of music being presented. The group was formed by Professor Taylor Ackley in 2015. The concert consisted of different types of traditional…

I attended the Golden State Women’s Choir Competition at the Lafayette-Orinda Presbyterian Church on March 4th, 2017. There, I watched the Advanced Treble Choir from Marin High School perform, directed by Stevie Greenwell. I enjoyed the concert very much. The songs selected were all very different. “Selene’s Boat” was very soft and the choir stayed very still throughout the song. “Ave Maris Stella” was a required piece, but the choir did it well. They performed it at a slow tempo, and sang the…

On the evening of February 21, 2018, I attended a Jamey Aebersold live jazz concert featuring Howard Levy and Chris Siebol at the music building at UIC. Since, I had never been to a jazz concert prior to this one, I did not know what to expect, but since it was my first time, I was excited. In my opinion, the evening’s program was nicely presented. The musicians started by introducing themselves, Howard Levy, an American multi-instrumentalist who switched off with playing the harmonica and the…

Name Filmon Medhanie Music 121 D Critics of Jazz Music The Jazz musical event I attended was performed at Green Mill Cocktail Lounge by pianist Patricia Barber, drummer Jon Deitemyer, and bassist Patrick Mulcahy. This jazz club has been one of Chicago’s most historic, and popular jazz clubs for a long time now. It has a quiet, and peaceful environment which is one of the reasons that helps you to fully enjoy the Jazz music that is being performed. This is the first time I have attended a live…

Concert Report 1 On October 26, I went to the two act opera, Il Matrimonio Segreto (The secret marriage), by Giovanni Bertati.
