Our driver parked their car on the side of the curb next to my dad's friend's house, and we all left the car, saying our goodbyes to our driver. My dad's friend exited the door of his house and introduced himself, and then invited us inside. The days preceding the concert we spent at a Greek restaurant, city-walk, and a beach...

On Tuesday, October 17, 2017, UAB presented a faculty recital. The concert entailed performances by Denise Gainey and Yakov Kasman. Gainey was the soloist and Kasman was the accompanying pianist. The atmosphere of concert, depicted by the music and musicians, was sort of a roller coaster. One minute the mood was down and like a lullaby; next it was expressive and full of emotion; then it was up and intriguing. The first song played was from the genre, Sonata.

Every time I go to a concert, I experience a feeling which is almost indescribable, as if no other moment matters and the musician is playing to me alone as they capture all of my emotions in one set. When i went to see The 1975 recently, this was exactly the feeling I was exposed to. Even as The 1975 progressively get a larger and larger following, you still get the feeling of seeing a small garage band. Although they have the feel of a smaller band, the setup of the stage and the aesthetics of

Concert I attended a concert of Lee Brice, about 1 year ago. It was opened by Kelly Clarkson who I personally wasn't that impressed by, because it wasn't the type of genre I was into, she was a little bit more pop than she was country.

On Tuesday, November 29th at 12:15pm, I attended a Music at Noon concert which showcased a collaboration of talent from baritonist Mel Braun and pianist Laura Loewen.

Handel is known for being a great Baroque composer, an era which included extended

Aundria McCadney The night of February 18, 2016 I attended “The MTSU Faculty Jazztet” concert in Wright Music Hall. This jazz band consists of David Willford, Don Aliquo, Micheal Parkinson, Jamey Simmions, Joe Davidian, Patrick Arwater, and Derrek Phillps performed eight jazz selections. The crowd that night was about 70-80 people, and part were older and the other half was students. When I think about a jazz performance a drum and piano player did not come to mind.

As I am only a beginner jazz enthusiast I came into the concert expecting to be exposed to new and interesting techniques and styles of jazz and similar ideas to what I’ve been learning throughout my jazz history class.

Drenched audience members, lawn chairs, and picnic baskets are not typical of a symphony performance. However, they all played a role in the North Carolina Symphony’s performance of the music of Ludwig Van Beethoven on Saturday, June 24 at Cary’s Koka Booth Amphitheater.

pleasure, especially because I am a great fan of his music. Throughout the concert in Berlin, Armstrong and his chamber orchestra played 13 different pieces. With the exception of Jewel Woods’ entrance on vocals for two songs, the makeup of the chamber orchestra did not change throughout the concert. As a result, the cello, clarinet, drums, piano, trombone, and trumpet remained vital parts of each song throughout the concert. Armstrong and his All Stars quickly began their first song, “Sleepy Time
