March 10th and April 28th. On last Friday evening, the concert began at 7 pm and ended at almost 9 pm. Unfortunately, Nocturne didn’t offer a playlist that night nor on their website, and as a beginner in Jazz, sadly I wasn’t able to recognize the specific songs they were playing. However, I did get a sense of their style during the concert. As the tenor saxophonist, Oxman’s style is very distinctive. His tone is clear and lively at most of the time, but can also have rich and dense texture…

On October 22nd, 2016 I attended the Celebrate Forsythe Dance performance at The Music Center and downtown. This performance consisted of three major ballet companies all performing pieces choreographed by William Forsythe. The first dance, Pas/Parts 2016 performed by the San Francisco Ballet struck me immediately as unique as all the women were wearing what appeared to be normal colored leotards in the front, had striking jewel-toned colors on the back. The men were dressed in black and other…

Staging a play: The Glass Menagerie is Matija Ferlin’s abstract dance theatre performance based on Tennessee Williams’ brilliant play The Glass Menagerie. It was first staged late last year and has since received many positive reviews. Englist’s team was very fortunate to be able to attend the show for a very affordable price and even arrange a small discussion after the play with Matija Ferlin, the director, main choreographer, and dancer, Maja Delak, a dancer, and Luka Prinčič, the coordinator…

The show featured the UT Dallas Chamber Singers and students from Advanced Vocal Instruction. The concert singers preformed mainly a cappella, but they were also accompanied by accompanist Michael McVay, who played an electronic piano modified to sound like a lute. Kathryn Evans, the conductor, also accompanied…

relationship between analysis and performance stating that “as analysts use scores as avenues to the pieces they analyze, […] they can –and should, I would argue– refer to performances in order to get at the essence of the pieces they analyze.” He also believes that musical scores function as “a map of the piece” and “are not the piece itself.” Apart from this, he characteristically refers to performers as being “richer and more limited than scores” and to performances as being “necessarily only…

Part 1: Performance Description and Analysis The mariner, the navigator, the sailor, or the pirate? The performer identified himself as all of these depending on the situations during a particular time in the performance. One event that sticks with me the most, one that the entire performance was rooted in, was the killing of the albatross. The mariner made friends with the albatross before, one day, losing it and killing it with his bow and arrow. This shaped the rest of the…

one makes with their body can be a transforming experience. Whether it be slow, fast, simple or complicated, dancing has a way of telling a story; an unspoken story that can make a person reflect on themselves. The performance I went to see was called Poor People’s TV Room. This performance was composed by Okwui Okpokwasili. She worked with three other dancers named, Thuli Dumakude, Katrina Reid, and Nehemoyia Young. All of the performers were from different generations to add the differing…
