Carnegie Hall Concert Finally, the wait was over on Friday May 6 I was excited to finally visit a place I never experienced before, Carnegie Hall. I ordered two tickets online one for my girlfriend and one for myself to watch The Cecilia Chorus of New York with Orchestra preform Beethoven Missa solemnis, Op. 123. It took a lot of convincing but with some bribery I was able to drag my girlfriend along with me. We left about two hours early from Queens expecting to reach one hour early to…

the hard wooden floor and the occasional swish or clank of the hoop. Sweat drenched my red shirt, staining it a dark shade of maroon, and the shoelaces of my Nike Air Jordans were becoming undone, but I barely noticed as I continued to practice that Kyrie Irving move I saw during the 2013 All-Star Rookie-Sophomore game: cross between the legs, behind the back, in and out, cross left, step back, and shoot. Nothing but net. A quick thought crossed my mind. Did I have something important to do…

Music can be traced all the way back to 500 B.C. when Pythagoras experimented with sounds and discovered tones can be formed from plucking strings. During the Middle Ages is when music began to be considered a gift from God. A common way to praise and worship our God was through music; this is how sacred music came about. Soon later, sacred music eventually was overcome by secular music, which is more along the lines of crusades, dancing, and love songs and less of the more religious and…

Usually it would be the point guard who takes it up the court to set up plays. (basketballtipsandtricles.com,2016) Also there are centers, they are the biggest (tallest) guys on the team. They get the heavy rebounds and offensive and defensive rebounds. (They also cannot shoot). It's rare for a center to be shooting threes. But if they can…

every aspect of the piece. I through the concert tried to find meaning and purpose in the music. The concert that I had attended was “Messa Da Requiem (1873)” composed by Giuseppe Verdi.” The individual pieces in this composition were “introit and Kyrie” “Dies irae” “Offertory” “Sanctus” “Angus Dei” “Lux aeterna” and “Libera me.” This concert was…

On Tuesday night, December 8th of 2015. I waited impatiently by the Great Hall of the CCNY Shepard Hall. Seven twenty-three pm I looked at the clock on my phone. Small groups of people starts to enter the open door to the Great hall. Confusingly, I walk to the door and pick up the program note to CCNY choral concert. I went to the seating area and pick the row at the back. When everyone gathered, a man caught everyone’s attention, Ira Spaulding, introduced himself as the conductor of the concert…

He averaged 15.8 points per game and 4.3 assist per game. He also became an instant fan favorite. Waiters’ confidence never failed to entertain and continued to even in the offseason. When there were rumors of the Heat acquiring Kyrie Irving, Waiters let it be known there is already an “alpha male” in Miami. With this mentality heading into this season, Waiters should continue to elevate his game and become the Heat’s number one option. The Eastern Conference lost All-Stars Jimmy…

The NBA or National Basketball Association, is a league of professional club basketball teams that all compete in North America with only 30 teams. It is considered to be the best of the best when it comes to the sport. The NCAA or National Collegiate Athletic Association, is a collegiate…
