Though Lili Boulanger's impact on the musical world maybe not have been as numerous as her sister's, it was not due to lack of talent but time: most of her life she lived with poor health and died at the age of 25 in 1918. In the short time she was alive, she became the first woman to receive the coveted Prix de Rome in 1913 for…

musical genius is ubiquitous and of course…the food. With every aspect of life so influential and awe-inspiring, it is no wonder George Frideric Handel has returned with compositions that leave us speechless. His operas, arias, Oratorios, anthems and concertos never cease to amaze me; however, this time he has really outdone himself. The ornate and expressive beauty of his pieces last night left me wishing the show would never end. Even with the horn malfunction halfway through the piece, the…

On April 7, 2018 the New York Repertory Orchestra played in the church of St. Mary the Virgin and performed three musical pieces. The architecture of this church is so beautiful, it has a bunch of details, paintings and sculpture that resemble the Catholic religion. Inside the breathtaking church, where the father usually gives his sermon, the orchestra took their places surrounding the conductor. The cello and the percussion were in the back and the violins and the brass were in the front. They…

Why am I writing again—click click tap. click clack taaaa-pp. As a person who has a vendetta against writing, the sounds of the keyboard distract me.

I have always been drawn to music, and even when I strayed from it, I always end up back here. At age four, my parents got me a keyboard because…
