A Music Concert Experience

The music concert this review covers is the Plano Symphony’s rendition of the Beethoven’s Choral Fantasy in C minor and Symphony No. 9, The Choral, in D minor. The concert was held at a church in April 16, 2016, and it was a sold out performance. Since it was a night simply dedicated to Ludwig van Beethoven, the symphony titled the concert as “Best of Beethoven.”

You usually would not expect a seventeen year old to say that they love vacationing to Las Vegas, but in my case I absolutely love it. There are so many fun activities to do I just can not get enough.

The best trip I ever took was when my husband and I went to La Romana in the Dominican Republic. It was beautiful there.

Although not sold in its original form at our common grocery stores, we normally see the flavor being used in teas and smoothies. Then there was the mangosteen. It is another purple fruit. It is creamy and citrusy with a hint of peach. Second to last is the Lychee. This is a common Asian fruit that is small and white in the inside and has a grape like texture when eaten. Lastly was the Durian, sadly the worst one of them. It has hard spiky husk that needed to be cracked opened. I was warned about this one but didn’t think it was going to be as bad as it was. It smelled like skunk spray/ sewage. I tried to taste it but didn’t. We immediately threw it away. The smell was horrible. A lady who I spoke to at the store prior to buying the fruit just told me that it was an acquired taste and smell, but I didn’t expect what we experienced. Nonetheless, I enjoyed going through and tasting each fruit. It definitely was an experience and an eye opener to the different types of fruit out there besides your usual bananas, strawberries, and oranges.

The concert I attended was called the Faculty and Student Recital, which took place in the Cisco Auditorium on April 11, 2017. The music that was on the program was mostly what is called “classical” music, as well as a Chinese Folk Song, an electronic composition, and variations on an Indian Tala. In the classical pieces, the instruments that were used were the violin, the piano, the cello, and the oboe. In the electronic composition, the computer was used to make music. In the Chinese Folk Song, the piccolo was used to imitate the unique timbre of a Chinese flute. In the Indian tala, drums from Ghana were used to imitate the rhythm and sound of Indian drums. The piano, the violin, the cello, and the piccolo all originate

My perfect vacation would be to go to Paris and see all of the magnificent works of art and the Eiffel Tower! That would be amazing. What I would do there is drink some tea because I bet they have some delicious iced tea. I would go to The Louvre Museum and look at all of the works of art. The last reason on why I would like to visit Paris is because one of my favorite TV shows is set in Paris,

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.

The second concert I attended was the Shepherd school of music collegium concert at Rice University. The program featured music from the renaissance and was a little bit different then the orchestra concert I attended. For one there were fewer musicians. It had a more intimate setting, not a big theater but rather a small rehearsal hall. The musicians exchanged in and out after there part of the performance was over and there was some singing as well.

For six years I've been in my school's choir at Buchtel Community Learning Center. That choir has taught me a lot of things; how to blend voices together, how to read music, even how to correctly warm up your voice and the posture when singing. I take these lessons everywhere I go, especially to the music program I was in, STARS. STARS was a music program that was spread all over the country that helped young people showcase their talents and gave them opportunities to learn more about their craft. We had visitors come to show us how to write lyrics, harmonize, and shared their stories on how they came from nothing and did what they truly wanted to do, perform. There were about seven people that were in STARS stationed in Akron and we were

It was January 18, 2015, and my dad and I had arrived in Ann Arbor, MI to watch the Ann Arbor Concert Band. Today’s concert was called the “Wilkommen: A tribute to Ann Arbor’s German Heritage” concert held at the Michigan Theatre. This concert featured some of the most famous German composers from the Baroque, Classical, Early Romantic, and Romantic eras of music.

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 were very homophonic. The Melody of most of the songs were mainly slow, though a couple songs were very fast, and upbeat.

The overall concert offered a wide verity of choir song, from classical pieces composed by Mozart to musical show tunes. The combination of which resulted in an overall enjoyable experience. The concert was not the first choir concert I had ever attended so I went in expecting it to be similar to the high school choir performances I have seen before. I was not expecting the scale of the concert to be so large. Instead of being one choir and an hour-long program there were four groups along with a much longer program. Each of the choir groups had a different dynamic, sound and feel to it. The differences made it interesting.

I’m one of those spontaneous and unpredictable people. This makes it hard to sustain the relationships I develop. I shock my prospective partners out of my cycle with my sporadic and sometimes unreasonable reaction and effusions. I’m stirred into action by new things and have a knack for the adrenaline pumping situations. It is not a wonder, therefore, that I prefer extreme sports.

At the time of responding to this question it is perfectly timed, as finally we have some lovely weather after the extended winter caused by a cold and wet spring. So sunshine, blue skies and starry nights along with higher temperatures are finally with us in the south west. Some Brits will have already made plans to seek warmer weather and the almost guaranteed sun with warm breezes that come with booking a holiday in hot spots. Over the years I have had some pretty fabulous holidays overseas and in the UK and have a few photo’s and fond memories to draw upon. These days with a combination of a husband with a dislike of flying and dogs who we don’t wish to put into kennels, our holidays tend to revolve around our homeland and what treasures we have found too. From child friendly and latterly teen friendly holidays, to romantic getaways and action packed outings we have covered a huge array of accommodations, activities and explored some fantastic places. I can relate to all of the suggestions that precede the Ciao! Question: where will you be going and which products will you take with you?
