Concert Review Essay

I attended this concert at CU Denver’s King Center, Concert Hall. Although the architectural design and surrounding did not attest to much artistic creativity, the actual concert was better than my expectations. I did have lower expectations because it was presented by students instead of professional musicians or dancers as in my last concert review. The ensemble, a collaborative outcome from MSU Denver and other dance/cultural music groups from denver, was actually a mix of African and Indian/East

For my last concert review I decided to see Tamara Stefanovich from the Sanford-Hill Piano Series. Like the first concert I attended this was also at Western Washington University. Tamara was wonderful. She has performed at Carnegie Hall, Suntory Hall, and many other performance halls around the world. She played several compositions including pieces by; Chopin, Debussy, Szymanowski, Abrahamsen, Nicolau, Messiaen, Rohloff, and Ligeti. I will be reviewing the following compositions; Étude op.25 No

would first like to start this concert review off stating that I do not know really anything about how to play and write music, and all the aspects of getting the melody and harmony right in the music. What might be simple and have a good steadiness throughout the music to me might be elabrate and unsteady to the performer. When I listen to music, I do listen to the music itself but I am more likely to relate to the lyrics so that is my main focus. So for this review, my insight on how the music is

The first half of the concert was only instrumental. There were two violins, two violas, and two cellos. They sat on stage with the violins one my right, then the violas in the middle, and the cellos on the end. The violins played a few songs solo. The second half of the concert was only the choir and a piano. Their performance started with the song Daybreak. The song Daybreak also had a few girls playing percussion, one of them had a tambourine. Using SHMRG, the Harmony of most of the choirs songs

The symphony concert was a lot different from what a pop concert feels like, or even from the concerts we used to put on in high school. The parents were always antsy, and they clapped in any break in the music. You could hear phones going off, people coughing and talking. Pop concerts have people standing and dancing. This was a much more refined, elegant experience. No one spoke audibly during the performance, people held in their coughs until the breaks in the music. No one clapped between movements

Blues Era. This was great experience for me because it was my first time attending a concert that was being played on the piano throughout the entire concert. It was also a great experience because I gotten the chance to see my music professor (Mrs. Davis) perform what she loves to do it. . Since the beginning of the year, I always wanted to see my music professor (Mrs. Davis) play an entire piece. This concert gave inspiration to go after my once and now childhood dreams of playing the piano. I

I attended David T. Wallace Jr. Saxophone concert, on March 3, 2017 at 4 pm in the Morrison Fine arts building. He was accompanied by a pianist Run Guthrie. The event was held in a choir room, and it started on time. I have never been to a saxophone or piano concert, it was a fun and new experience. The two-man played the first tune together call “Carnival of Venice” by Henry W. Davis, which was originally played with a Baritone or Trombone and not a saxophone. The tune was soft and airy like. The

For my first concert review, I attended the Music at the Marley event at the St. Petersburg Museum of Fine Arts. The event featured the University of Tampa Faculty Ensemble with Barbara Prescott on flute, Meg Cassell on oboe, Theodore Decoroso on clarinet, and Grigorios Zamparas on piano. They played a selection of pieces from the Classical period to the twentieth century which were performed in the following order: Franz Danzi: Sinfonia Concertante Op. 41 Allegro Moderato; William Grant Still: Miniatures

In this virtuoso series concert, the style of music displayed was different pieces from 1756-1983. There are six groups who performed and the instruments range from horn, violin, viola, cello, flute, clarinet, harp, percussion, and a beautiful voice. This concert was full of new sounds, and I wasn’t very familiar with these different sounds and instruments that were being played. My initial reaction to this chamber ensemble was that I absolutely loved it. It’s insane how all these instruments can

On November 18, 2015, I attended a UAB concert involving jazz combos and a guitar ensemble. This concert was filled with amazing musicians, intricate solos, and thick harmonies. There were three jazz combos and one guitar ensemble; the first set was the guitar ensemble, which contained four guitarists and one bass player. The ensemble consisted of four songs: “Swing It,” a swing-style song; “Samba #1”; “A Child is Born,” a waltz; and “Bill’s Bay.” The main theme of “Bill’s Bay” was very catchy and
