I went to a holiday concert in Greensboro. To be more specific, it was the Fox 8 Holiday concert, being played at the Greensboro LJVM Coliseum. The Band performing, is the Winston-Salem Symphony. This concert was held, to help feed the hungry and homeless. The Triad used to be number one in hunger in the nation, but this concert and countless other charities and efforts have helped to bring the number of homeless and hungry down drastically. This year alone, the holiday concert as a whole raised…
I attended a jazz band concert that was held at Cosumnes River College by the music department. I do not know how to play an instrument, but I like to listen to people play. I was excited to hear them play, but I knew I would go by myself. I enjoy listing to people play internment, and whenever I study I listen to instrumental songs. Music is a place where people find comfort, because there is a verity. I found out the cost of the concert before I went to the event, because I to be certain that…
to pop, and even classical. Before this concert, however, I had never seen a Jazz concert performed by other musicians. In approximately the 6th grade, however, I preformed a blues piece in the exact room the Introduction to jazz class takes place. This had been my foundation for Jazz up until this point in time. One could say that I had no experience when it came to the concepts of Jazz in its entirety. This meant that not only attending a Jazz concert, nevertheless an Introduction to Jazz…
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…
I attended the Stones River Chamber Players on February 29th. This was played in the Hilton Music Hall. When I was going in I did not know what to expect because I have never been to a music concert on the MTSU campus. There were around 60-70 people who attended this concert. Most of the individuals who attended were more than likely there for a class because more than half were students who did not understand the concept of staying off of their phone. When the three performers came out they…
Museum of Contemporary Art of North Miami held an evening jazz concert open to the public featuring the jazz band Karina Iglesias & the Nu-Thang. Karina Iglesias and the Nu-Thang included Karina Iglesias as the lead vocalist, accompanied by Brian Robertson on the piano, James McCoy on bass, and Kevin Abanto on drums. This concert consisted of one set of six songs that last for an hour and fifteen minutes. I wanted to attend this concert because Karina Iglesias appeared as a finalist on the…
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…
Concert Report 1 On the date of September 23, 2015 the Ball State School of Music presented a jazz concert at Sursa Hall. The concert provided free admission to students and created a fantastic jazz performance. The crowd in attendance was a mixture of students, natives of Muncie and jazz enthusiast. The performance drew a diverse crowd because it provided a high level of entertainment that everyone could enjoy. It is highly recommended that everyone in the community attend at least one…
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 whole was very enjoyable. The concert…
Music Review: Madison Beer I had recently attended a Madison Beer concert, located in San Francisco at the Swedish American Hall. Madison Beer is a 19 year old American singer that sings mainly pop music. The concert had lasted about an hour of her singing her top songs from her most recent album, “As She Pleases”. Some upbeat songs, some sad songs, and some with a mix of both. As the crowd was chanting, “Madison” for a good 10 minutes she had finally come out and the crowd went wild. She had…
