Orchestra

Orchestra concerts are an example of music being presented in an emotional and artistic manner. Often people, mainly think of contemporary music when they hear about orchestra concerts. Music composed in the late 1970s to 1990s. But its music extends to much further than that. Scores have been performed from many composers in grand concerts that originate from many sources. These sources include movies, television shows, and even video games. The level of emotion that these concerts express varying

Guys, and the YouTube Symphony Orchestra have recently driven people back to concert halls and have them watching classical performances online. The YouTube Symphony Orchestra has made a significant movement to this genre of music by live streaming their performances (one in 2009 and the other in 2011). YouTube Symphony Orchestra’s performance in 2011 had people hustling to the Sydney Opera House, and was live streamed around the world for viewers at home. The orchestra performed various pieces of music

This is my second year in the best experience I have ever gotten involved with which is Contemporary Youth Orchestra. I would never have the amount of passion I do for music if it weren't for this orchestra. I learn so many skills each week and learn how everything relates to one another. By the end of one season, I had the most mind blowing experiences. This did not come easy at all for me. Most particularly, the concert at Severance Hall with Graham Nash presented the biggest challenge to overcome

There have been thousands of orchestras played around the world. One of the most known and popular orchestral concerts of today is George Michael’s Symphonic Orchestra Tour. I decided to mainly focus on his appearance at Echo Arena in London on October 10th, 2012. Michael performed amongst a symphony orchestra that included a number of instruments that will be discussed throughout the paper. A symphony orchestra is classified as an ensemble of strings grouped with a wide range of woodwinds, brass

I recently attended the opening night of the Wheeling Symphony Orchestra at the Capitol Theatre in downtown Wheeling. The experience of seeing a live orchestra for the first time was very unique and pleasant to me. The feel and atmosphere was much different from what you would experience at a country or hip hop concert. The venue was very quiet and respectful, no one was talking or playing around on their cell phones. Whereas my prior concert experiences had consisted of musicians aiming to be as

Participating in orchestra has been a life-changing experience. I had no idea that choosing to play a violin in orchestra at an early age could become so crucial in my life. I was a shy and quiet little girl growing up, and being in orchestra has pushed me out of my comfort zone and allowed me to develop the social skills and self-confidence I need to succeed in life. To this day, as a senior in high school, I am still very much involved in orchestra. It has also taught me valuable life lessons

Last week, I had the pleasure of attending the Texas State Symphony Orchestra Recital at Evans Auditorium. The performance was made up of two pieces: “Overture to Nabucco” composed by Giuseppe Verdi and “Symphony No. 5 E minor op. 64” composed by Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky with its 4 movements. The theme of the overall performance was “Fifth and Fate”, depicting the ideas of life and destiny. Despite its flaws, the concert very well exemplified this theme and overall put on a delightful and memorable

A Response to And the Orchestra Played On Joanne Lipman’s memoir And the Orchestra Played On is about the lasting bonds music can have on members of a community who engage – whether it be as listeners or musicians – in music together. She reflects on the death of her beloved childhood music teacher, Mr. K, and the coming together of his student for one final concert. Lipman ties her introduction and conclusion together to develop her message. In both, someone is searching for music: Lipman for her

I have never been personally a fan of the romantic orchestra music but going to listen to a concert live is breathtaking. I attended the Fayetteville Symphony Orchestra, Masterpieces concert with music director Fouad Fakhouri performing Igor Stravinsky’s Symphony of Psalms and Gustav Mahler’s Symphony No.1 in D major. There was a full stage of musicians and a complete choir to back it up. The first half of the performance was a complete orchestra of woodwinds, strings, drums, brass, excreta and a
