Concert Report : ' Concert '

On April 11th, 2017 in the Louis Armstrong Theatre, I attended the GVSU “University Band”. This up-beat ensemble lasted about 90 minutes; the talented students of GVSU’s university band joined together to perform multiple different songs ranging from a Waltz to a Dixieland Jamboree. All of the songs that the band played for the audience were all well-known, popular songs that they all enjoyed. Having the opportunity to attend this concert has opened new musical paths for myself and has allowed me to enjoy and kindly critique something that I perhaps would have never had the chance to otherwise.

The concert that I attended was a charity concert, which was organized in Boston at a local university there. The South Asian Student Union of Harvard University organized the concert. I happened to be in Boston and this particular concert was organized for benefit causes such as using the proceeds of the concert to fund a number of poverty alleviation projects in South Asia. The concert was organized in a rather big room, which had a very big podium, as well as at least 500 seats that had been placed in it. Therefore, the overall hall where this concert took place was a typical auditorium setting with seating and a stage at the front. The concert promoters talked about different cause benefits related to alleviation of poverty in South Asia and that’s why the concert was organized. The organizers also informed the audience that the musicians wore traditional clothing so that the audience members could also have a good insight and understanding of the South Asian culture. All of ticket revenues for this concert were then given to a number of charities which then would use those funds to assist the different poverty alleviation programs in the larger South Asian region.

I thought the First Amendment exhibit was very action packed with so many different types of artwork on display. I really liked how it was set up by the students at Iowa State too. I loved how the exhibit made you feel like you were right in the action. Some of the pieces that really caught my attention were Teen Vogue, Saint John the Baptist Preaching, and Women March Iowa.

On Friday, July 10th, I chose virtually to attend an online YouTube Symphony Orchestra Concert-2011. Many beautiful pieces were performed by a magnificent orchestra that included more than sixty participants and consisted of instruments such as: flutes, oboes, horn, clarinets, bassoons, trumpets, percussions and strings. Concert’s selections varied in length, temperament, mood and dynamics. Orchestra Symphony gave an overpowering, extraordinary presentation and delivery.

Dr. Carol Williams’s organ plays were just fantastic. Despite the fact that seeing the instrument called, “organ” was my first time, it was pretty impressive how that instrument worked. All the pedals and the three layers of keyboards were just as complicated as a calculus math problem. The concert was played at the Spreckels Organ Pavilion at Balboa Park. The surrounding was not too bad. Although the concert day was Sunday, it was quite crowded. Besides the crowdedness, the surroundings were not too rough. All ages were welcome to seat and enjoy the sounds of organ. I saw mostly old aged audiences and I saw a little amount of college aged audiences with the music report information on their hands.

I went to the concert with my friends. The concert is set up at whitemud crossing library. The performance was set up in the lecture hall of the library. It was a small lecture hall with small stage on it and it was set up with Soft lighting, neat wooden bench, and warm atmosphere. There were 4 Musicians on the stage sit in a semicircle facing the audience.,2musician is come from university of Alberta department of Music. Guillaume Tardif is Associate professor and the associate chair and Yue Deng is artists-in Residence in Violin. The rest 2 musicians were artist comes from Edmonton Symphony Orchestra, Charles Pilon is Assistant principal Violist and Colin Ryan is Principal Cellist. Instrument contain are 2 violin, one viola and one cello.The repertory they performed is come from Felix Mendelssohn and Robert Schumann. All the information about today’s concert is include on a brochure which you can get when you walk in.

My first concert experience turned out to be very different from what I expected. Even though I would not choose to listen to classical music normally, the concert has made me enjoy this type of music more and made me think about how much more there is to music than just lyrics and a

It was my first time attending a classical musical concert. I was so excited when I attending this concert. In my mind, the concert is always boring and around solemn person. But when I came in there are not that exactly that I was thought. People in here with daily outfit and chat with people around them. The concert is begining at 7:00 p.m. When the music sounded, the audience quiet down. I thought I will be sitting there and falling alseep, but I’m not, I was immersed in this music.

     I chose to do my first concert report on Pearl Jam. The concert took place at Deer Creek the weekend after class started, so it was perfect timing to do this assignment. This was the first time I have seen Pearl, and I thought it was worthy of writing a report on.

On Sunday, May10 2015, a concert was held in The Broad Stage. The concert was played by Santa Monica College Symphony Orchestra, whose conductor is Dr. James Martin. For this concert, I would identify myself as a referential listener at this concert. I say this because I am not an expert in music, therefore it would be hard for me to be a critical listener. I wouldn’t be able to tell what went wrong with a performance even if some incorrect notes were played. I was more of a referential listener because the music was soothing and brought my mind to peaceful thoughts. This essay will tells my experience of the concert in order to persuade my friend to  attend a classical music concert with you in the future.

For this concert report I chose to go to a performance of student composers held at the Kimball Recital Hall. I chose this one because I wanted to see some of the talent that my peers have in the music realm, and also it was one of the only concerts I have been able to attend because I usually work at night. It was impressive to hear pieces composed by students. I cannot imagine creating something as complex as a musical composition, much less actually performing it, so this aspect of the concert was particularly awe-inspiring. There was a large attendance, and I think that much of the audience consisted of friends of the composers and/or performers. I went with three friends, who I convinced by telling it would be interesting to see

As we all waited in line to go into the concert there was a thrill of

“A live concert to me is exciting because of all the electricity that is generated in the crowd and on stage,” Elvis Presley once said. I agree with this statement. Live concerts, like a high voltage electricity line, are full of energy. It is not just one individual thing. It is the screaming of the audience, the beat of the drum, the strum of the ukulele, the beautifully crafted notes of the piano. It is not only the music, but the special effects set up. The lights, the lasers, the smoke rising from the bottom of the stage, the endless amount of colors flashing through the air. The music is much more meaningful live, and the feeling you have is indescribable. I will never forget my first concert.

On Thursday April 25, 2013 , I attended a jazz vocal concert at the Music Concert Hall. The first vocal ensemble opened up the performance with a slow rhythmic song called Blue Skies. It began with vocals and I noticed a light auxiliary percussion and drum rhythm. Also, the bass guitarist used walking bass and the piano and electric guitar joined in as well. The first song also consisted of two soloist Regina and Chantel who took the front stage to show off their chops. After the solo performances they fell back into the vocal sections and finished off the song as a complete band. The second performance had a piano opening which led to vocals joining in at the same time as the rhythm section. This performance

I had attended in several symphony concerts at the big concert hall, so this time, I decided to go to a small concert at a church. The concert I went to is “The Cary Classical Concerts – The second concert: A Night of Dvorak”, which took place at Saint Francis United Methodist Church. The concert is a debut of trio Anthony Lee – piano, Cortney Baker – violin, and Nathan Leyland – cello. Also, there is a special guest come to the concert is tenor Kang Noh Park and organ Scott Baker. The whole program is about Dvorak and some great piece of music from his written. The concert was awesome even though it is not happened at a big concert hall and the program is a little different. I do enjoy the concert in one way or another way; however, it totally gave me a different experiment of listening to the music.
