Recital

knees would start shaking uncontrollably, and my hands would sweat. The worst fear of mine was forgetting my piano piece and not being able to get back on track. Even though I had already played at piano recitals before and was familiar with the process, I experienced a lot more stress at the 2015 recital because I was both the announcer and a performer. Name after name I called, and each time a performer finished, I got closer to the bench of doom. Finally, it was my turn. I sat before the…

immersing myself into the community to help in anyway I can. Five of my volunteer hours were spent working at a children’s ballet recital. I spent those hours working backstage entertaining a group of 2-3 year olds. Entertaining 2-3 year olds can be straining, but I had eight of them I was responsible to not only entertain but also get on and off stage while maintain their recital attire. It was no easy fete. The remainder of my hours was spent working in the preschool classroom at Assumption…

Will Eno’s play “Intermission” is arranged as a play in between a play, with all of the action inserted during the intermission of a play that the characters are attending. From the beginning of this play it is noted that the four major actors have issues with time, reality, and boredom by their conversations. The same could be said for the intermission during Andrew Lee’s performance. In considerations of Eno’s play and Lee’s performance, what are the effects of and intermissions insertion or…

of Studio 312. The recital had a some of the unfamiliar classic performers' works such as Brahms, Turina, Scriabin. The players have put in so much time and effort to smoothen the intermission and transition within and between the musical pieces. The compositions are so well played, that slow-paced portion in the duo and some inconsistent arrangement of parts of music were not even noticed by many. Unlike the audiences of other performances, most of the audiences of the recital were young.…

“Cindy, it’s your first recital we didn’t know what to expect.” She tried explaining herself but I bolted out the theater door. I was upset because she had forgotten to buy flowers. Only my family would show up to a dance recital with no flowers to give to the performer. I found myself roaming the parking lot outside the theater with tears in my eyes and weird stares being thrown…

was two years old, until I was five, I took dance lessons. At the studio, there were multiple classes for different levels and for different styles of dance; every year every dance class in the studio would get together and have a recital. It was the day of the recital, and I was more than ready to perform. The auditorium chairs couldn’t hold me in, just as I couldn’t hold in my excitement. My best friend, still today, and I were standing and playing on the auditorium chairs. These chairs were…

O. J. Simpson The Incident On June 13, 1994, NFL Hall-Of-Famer O. J. Simpson and his ex-wife, Nicole Brown, attended the recital of their daughter, Sydney. After the recital, Mr. Simpson wanted Nicole and the rest of the family to celebrate together. However, Ms. Brown rejected the idea. Later that evening, Ms. Brown went to dinner at a restaurant and accidentally left her sunglasses on the table. One of the waiters, Ron Goldman, volunteered to return the sunglasses. A passerby found…

girls (i.e. 4-9 year olds) wear pink, or sometimes white. Older girls wear all black. The only time a ballerina may wear a pink tutu as as a costume, during a dance recital. However, in 7 total years of being in dance recitals, I have never worn a pink tutu or seen a pointe dancer wearing a pink tutu. Usually, the costumes for recitals are theme-based and extremely intricate. But during practice sessions, they wear simple, black clothes.…

exceptional teaching of piano and chamber music. Dr. Jiang’s CV details her diverse career as a soloist, chamber musician, and collaborative pianist (a term replacing “accompanist” to describe the role the pianist plays in a instrumental or vocal recital performance). I am impressed not only by the high status venues that have sponsored her performances, such as New York’s Lincoln Center,…

Concert Report Two The concert performance given live that I have attended on Thursday April 20th, 2017 was an organ licentiate recital by Ian Guenette. It was held at the Redpath Hall, a building located on McTavish street. The Redpath Hall was first dedicated for a library building, but is now taken charge by the Schulich School of Music. The Hall is very charming with its high selling that contains thick dark brown carved wodden beams that covers the intire ceiling and gives warmth to the…
