On 29 January 2016. My friends and I went to a concert performed by Tiffany Austin. The concert was entitled Tiffany Austin’s Blues de Voyage hosted by Presidio Officer’s Club at San Francisco in partnership with the San Francisco Friends of Chamber Music. As I attend the concert, I categorize myself as a casual listener to a well performed music. I didn’t have enough knowledge yet back then to analyze critically on the performance as it is my first time attending a house concert. It was an exciting experience and I enjoyed it a lot. The atmosphere was good as everybody in the room also enjoyed the singing and music played by the performers. In the concert, the performers consist about 5 people, which are the pianist, Glen Pearson; the bassist, Ron Belcher; the drummer, Sly Randolph; the trombone player; and lastly the lead vocalist, Tiffany Austin. The concert session was a short as it compromised into two parts and a slight break. In each part, the band performed four to five songs. The songs performed in the concert are mainly from the legendary jazz musicians like Louis Armstrong, Hoagy Carmicheal, Johnny Cash and many others jazz performers mainly from the year 1929 to 1937. She also included one of her own song in her debut album, “Nothing but Soul” in the concert. Regarded as the fastest raising singer in Northern California with tradition-rooted yet modern style in her music, Tiffany continues to amazed people with her music as she sang various song that capture
For this concert report I chose to go to a performance of student composers held at the Kimball Recital Hall. I chose this one because I wanted to see some of the talent that my peers have in the music realm, and also it was one of the only concerts I have been able to attend because I usually work at night. It was impressive to hear pieces composed by students. I cannot imagine creating something as complex as a musical composition, much less actually performing it, so this aspect of the concert was particularly awe-inspiring. There was a large attendance, and I think that much of the audience consisted of friends of the composers and/or performers. I went with three friends, who I convinced by telling it would be interesting to see
Not like a first concert I attended, this show named “a night of Blues” had a little bit small and less impressive. It was not because the show was boring, but just a few people joined this show, the theater is also smaller, too.

My first concert experience turned out to be very different from what I expected. Even though I would not choose to listen to classical music normally, the concert has made me enjoy this type of music more and made me think about how much more there is to music than just lyrics and a
The concert had a large turnout, which I greatly enjoyed. If we compared this concert to our concert last spring, we had over three times the amount of people show up. The concert band was also larger this year, which resulted in a wider range of pitch and tones the band could reach;
As I stood in awe of Drake at Austin City Limits Music Festival, I realized how frequently I go to concerts and how heavily music has impacted my life (/teenage years?idk). Growing up, my mom shared a diverse range of artists with me. As a child I would listen to Randy Travis and Dolly Parton one day then Michael Jackson and Madonna the next. Commentary____________________________________ Commentary Music is a way for me to connect with family, friends, and strangers on an exhilarating level. Music is a way for me to escape from society and dive into a pool of melodies. The stress of AP courses that have bombarded my life is gone. The exhaustion I get after running miles at practice seems irrelevant. The pressure of standardized tests and the heavy expectation to do well fades away. The money I spent on the concert ticket no longer has value. Here in this moment, with a mass of loud, sweaty, upbeat people, I feel at ease. I desire an intense feeling
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 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 concert was performed on the Southam Hall stage at the NAC; this is a large hall with extremely good acoustics. It is a nationally known stage, so the quality of the hall is very good. Generally, the audience was very receptive as it was composed of adults, who were all silent. The acoustics were very good as the hall spread the sound throughout the hall without making it echo. This had a positive effect on the performance, because it was possible for the orchestra to be clearly heard from any point in the entire hall. I was impressed by the large number of students that I saw that night because the show deserved to have been heard by many young people.
Shania Twain played the second of her two farewell shows of the Rock This Country Tour in Vancouver to a packed house at Rogers Arena on Tuesday, June 9, 2015. It was a bittersweet night for country music and Twain fans that may have seen her play live for the last time. She has not toured since 2002 in support of her acclaimed album, Up!, so time will tell what Twain does next.
On Wednesday July, 8 I attended a concert at the Mimoda Studio located in Los Angeles the concert started at eight o’clock. On that day there was a group of four Instrumentalists performing a cello concert. The performances consisted of acts of big composers such as David popper the cellist also Alexander Konstantinovich ,it last about an hour. The show did not include programs so I will have to go off my notes some of the pieces that were played for David popper were Serade, Ballet scene, Gavotte, and La Chanson villageoise. The pieces played from Alexander Konstantinovich were impatient, land of heroes. There were also some Armenian chants played from the medival times, that were either composed by Sahakdukht orkhosrovidukht.
At the end of the performance, I was truly amazed. I couldn’t stop talking about what I had just witnessed. The performances were amazing and each so beautiful and unique in many ways. I still couldn’t understand how all of those people and instruments just come to together and create masterpieces of music. I was engaged the whole performance and kept pointing out all the things I was enjoying to my boyfriend. He even had a wonderful time as well. After completing my first concert I definitely can’t wait to go to another one.
Up until this moment, I had never been to a concert from my favorite band. This concert would be one of the best moments of my life. The concert took place at the Oregon state fairgrounds in Salem, Oregon. It was during the time when the annual state fair was taking place. The sky was filled with clouds that only allowed the sun to peek through on occasion. Sweat drips down our faces just by standing outside in the humid air. Walking into the fairgrounds dirt, and musty smells surrounded the senses. Looking to the left and right, crowds of people were surrounding barn animals to be able to pet and feed them.The strong scent of manure settled in our noses and pushed us to walk farther into the fair at a quickened pace. We walked through an area that resembled a saturday market. Booths were set up and the people inside them smiled brightly at us with clearly hidden intentions behind their smiles. Sounds of people chattering amongst themselves floated through the air making it hard to hear the person standing next to you. As we rushed through the crowd people cut in front of us causing our group to get split up several times. Looking above us a fairlift was moving people from far ends of the park. Legs could be seen swing forward and back as they enjoyed staring at the ants below them. We rushed forward to get to the amphitheater as quickly as we could. When we arrived at the amphitheatre we are forced to slow to a sluggish pace as people filled the amphitheatre like grains of
I have not been to many concerts in my life, so I did not know what to expect when I went to see Lynyrd Skynyrd in concert last month. A few years ago, I saw Celine Dion in concert and was very impressed by her beautiful stage, the infallible theatrics of her performers, and the wardrobe changes. I expected the Lynyrd Skynyrd concert to be similar, but it was nothing like that at all. Concerts can vary in considerable ways; everything from the stage set up, performance, and the audience can completely change the concert goers experience.
I made sure to arrive a little bit late so that I could just walk in and settle down after the arrival of the performing bands without having to sit through the music department’s opening speech. I came in just in time for the commencement of the first piece. I sat and stared at the front at this lady who was doing a solo performance. I could already tell that the night was only going to pick up from this point. With her eyes closed and her head swaying with every stroke her hand made, all the people wanted to do was look at her and share the same calmness that she portrayed. It was as if the world had shut down leaving her to enjoy the calm state. I envied how she could just forget the world even for a second and relish in the world she had created. She was just a tip of the amazing things that the night had in store.
