Concerts

The second concert to go to was on saturday November 4th at 8pm at Stony Brook University’s Staller center. The atmosphere of being at staller felt pleasant and relatable as I was not going to the symphony just for an assignment, but rather as a guest ready for a good show. Awaiting for the symphony to begin, sitting at the top final row on the room, I realized my surrounding was that large amounts of older folks wore presentable outfits, students with casual attire, and the orchestra wearing…

On Saturday, May 7th, 2016, the University Wind Symphony held a farewell performance in the Meng Concert Hall. Jean Ferrandis, a flute player and Bill Cunliffee, the pianist were two faculty artists of the night’s concert. The performers were elated to show off the songs they have worked hard on as a group. The show consisted of a variety of songs from classical, jazz, and mash ups of popular songs that entertained the audience and represented how well the orchestra worked together to create the…

General Reaction: The concert I attended entitled “Illuminations” was located at the Sottile Theatre, an old historical building on the College of Charleston campus. The theatre was very nice and elegant. The decor there is very eclectic with bright red carpeting throughout and classical pictures decorating the walls. I felt like I was in an old plantation house. We arrived at the theatre thirty minutes early and were able to take in the sights completely before the concert began. My wife…

levels. Concerts are a major reason for damage to the ears, but only if a person attends without hearing protection. Simply putting in a set of earplugs can significantly reduce your chances of sustaining hearing loss at a concert. Damage prevention is so easy, yet 28 million Americans still suffer from deterioration of their hearing as they get older.1 Lack of public awareness is to blame for this problem, and the simplest way to fix it is to make changes to how venues hold their concerts. It…

This concert was conducted by Leonard Bernstein. The concert lasted approximately 50 minutes and included varieties of instruments. Instruments to name are a large group of violins, clarinets, cellos, French horns, a harp, flutes, basses including a bassoon and oboe. I tend to hear various melodies used elsewhere either from Star Wars and or Pink Panther like melodies. The Symphony is originally composed of four parts; moderato, allegretto, largo and allegro. The beginning of the concert opens…

This concert took place at the University of Missouri St. Louis’s campus, in the Lee Theatre, on November 30th, 2016. This was a concert for students studying music at UMSL, in order to showcase their talents through performing chamber music. Majority of the audience appeared to be friends and family of the students performing, making the concert a bit more of a laid back feel. Each song was played by a different small group, sizes were anywhere from trios and quartets to all of the performers…

decided to attend two piano concerts at the University of Colorado Boulder. The two piano concerts I attended were Hsing-ay Hsu (with Madoka Asari) as part of the Faculty Tuesday Series, and Andrew Ramos’s Doctor of Musical Arts Recital. Both of these recitals were a new experience due to the fact that I had never been to a piano recital at the University of Colorado before. Each piano performance was different, whether it was the music performed or the type of style of concert. Although they…

unique renditions of three classical pieces: Candide Overture, Halil, and Three Meditations from Mass. The concert took place at LeFrak Concert Hall in a small auditorium with an ecclesiastical background. The audience was small but very enthusiastic. The event begins with the maestro entering from a discrete door from the side of the stage. The introduction was the best part of the concert. It started off with a bang. The most prominent instruments were the french horn, the flute and the…

The Fall Concert was held at Our Lady Queen of Angles Church, Newport Beach, and many different choirs had the amazing opportunity to show the audience what they have learned and how well they can sing. Unfortunately, I was not able to attend the first concert, which made me somber because I missed the first performance with my lovely choir, Vivace. Luckily, I heard many positive remarks about how fun it was and how well they sing, which makes me excited to sing in the Madrigal Feast and…
