Woolsey Hall On Saturday evening, the Yale Symphony Orchestra delivered its final performance of the fall in the cavernous Woolsey Hall, featuring guest conductor Andreas Stoehr and mezzo-soprano Janna Baty. While the concert’s title was full of alliteration (Beethoven, Berg, and Brahms), the music itself was devoid of repetition and predictability, with vast dynamic and melodic contrasts highlighting the performance. To begin the concert, the orchestra delivered a strong rendition of Beethoven’s

and I attend the Harrisburg Symphony Orchestra’s November Masterworks symphony conducted by Stuart Malina on November 13, 2016 at The Forum. I never attended a symphony before, so I was nervous about what we should wear and if we could find are seat. I expected the audience to be in their best clothes. The men in tuxedos with top hats on and the women in lavishing gowns with pearl necklace. My experience sure enough prove me wrong in many ways than one.

Not knowing what to expect when I took my seat at the Atlanta Symphony Hall, I was anxious. I loved hearing any classical music come over the radio for a few seconds as one of my parents turned the knob on the radio while driving.

The concert was well received by the audience as a whole and myself

bad they in Paris in still better than a good day anywhere else.” Popular quote. It was the first time that I would assist to a Symphony Orchestra concert and I was excited for this new experience. Pictures at a French Exhibition sounded like an artistic exposition of French pictures, instead was a repertoire of various pieces interpreted by the Virginia Symphony Orchestra.

Boston Symphony Orchestra at his inaugural concert. This was a concert that featured orchestral music with the accompaniment of one singer and then two during certain songs.
