Concert Report Sample

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

When the concert first began, the three instrumentalists walked with energy despite their age. The first song, “Sonata I in G-Major Op. 2, Nr. 1” by Michel Blavet, was a Baroque Sonata. There were five movements and was played by the harpsichord, flute, and cello. All movements of the song were polyphonic because of the three instruments that had different parts and equal importance. In the first movement, I noticed that the flute tended to rise in pitch. In the second movement, I noticed that the melodies often repeated. Throughout the rest of the song the tempo changed from fast to slow and the flute would usually take the lead. On the last movement, the cello and the harpsichord

I attended a Senior Recital performed by Travis Hogue-Smith. This concert took place at Barry University’s chapel on March 28, 2017 at 7:30 PM. The instruments used in this concert are a clarinet, played by Travis Hogue-Smith, and a piano, play Dr. Beverly Coulter. Music from both Romantic and Classical genres were played in this concert.

On Saturday, December 12th, the High School Philharmonic All-Region Orchestra performed a variety of fascinating pieces. They were directed by Professor Edward Kawakami from Carthage College. The region orchestra began the concert with “Pomp and Circumstance March No. 4 op. 39” by Edward Elgar. The next piece that the orchestras performed was “Clair de Lune” by Claude Debussy. The last piece that the High School Philharmonic All-Region Orchestra performed was “Samson and Dalila Dance Bacchanale op. 47” by Camille Saint-Saens.

Saint Louis Brass began their set with a harmonious, traditional 1600s tune. I was amazed at how well all the sounds from the brass instruments melded together. Before hand, when I thought of brass instruments, especially trumpets, I thought of the sharp notes often played in jazz; however, the smooth sounds from the five instruments infiltrated the room, completely filling my body with a calm peace. The musicians sat, fully engaged in the music that buzzed from their lips. I really enjoy this antiquated piece of music far more than I anticipated.

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

The concert could be define as the act of performing in public. In order to our music appreciation class to synchronize the theory to the practice. We, students, have been requited by our instructor to write a concert review as an assignment. It is in that sense that I went to the Levitt pavilion and attend to Walt wilkins & mystiqueros.

On Tuesday, November 29th at 12:15pm, I attended a Music at Noon concert which showcased a collaboration of talent from baritonist Mel Braun and pianist Laura Loewen. Of the ten pieces which the concert was composed of, three pieces left a long lasting impression on me.

On October 16th I attended the choral music concert in UNC Wilmington’s recital hall. The performance consisted of a concert choir and a chamber choir with Joe Hickman as the conductor. The concert, which was entirely performed by students, had a number of instruments, like the viola, trumpet, and timpani, playing during the concert choir. I had been to very few choral music concerts in the past, so this experience expanded of my understanding of music in a new and exciting way.

We got to our seats early so we could be sure we were in a good location. The instrumentalists warming up with different sounds and scales all playing at the same time was like listening to the sounds of nature. Everyone had their own different sound. Everyone was playing something different. While I was amazed at what I heard, it wasn’t until the conductor raised his baton and the first sounds from a well-practiced group took my breath away. Every section came together to make the most beautiful sound floating throughout the hall; a sound of excellence.

The first piece performed was Four Scottish Dances. The entire band’s intonation was amazing. All sections blended together and you could hear blend within each individual section as well. Working as a group, dynamics moved

On April 4, 2017, I attended the Student Jazz Ensemble at the State University of New York at New Paltz. The concert held in the Julien J. Studley Theatre at 8 pm. It was an impressive student spring concert series performed by the students from our college. Although the concert was not performed as the professional concerts held in famous places, it was great opportunity for the campus community to listen that kind of musical activity. I have attended the same Jazz Ensemble concert in the previous spring semester because one of my friends from Turkey was playing saxophone during the performance like he did in this performance.

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.

When comparing or analyzing styles of play by different ensembles of either different pieces of music or the same, one must keep a keen ear to the technicalities and expression attempted for the listener to clearly hear. In this report, first, two different ensembles playing George Frideric Handel’s’ Hornpipe from ‘Water Music Suite’ is compared and contrasted. Next, yet another comparison is made between two different ensembles playing the piece written by Ludwig van Beethoven, Sym. #5, 1st movement(beginning). Finally, an analysis of Caroline Shaw’s Allemande from ‘Partita for 8 voices’ is made.

In analyzing a concert, I have chosen the Kaleidoscope concert performed in the Hammer Theatre that of which grasped upon many elements and sounds of music throughout a number of periods. To begin, the Kaleidoscope concert was unlike any other concert imaginable, it was truly an effervescent example of the culmination of all music into one elongated performance that exemplified the beauty of music and its ability to draw emotion from its human counterparts. The concert commenced immediately with an orchestral setting behind an alluring red backdrop. The conductor with supreme confidence, extenuated the tempo and effortlessly commanded his musicians, in a manner that can be likened to a general ushering his troops into battle. Oboes, Clarinets, Tubas and a plethora of other instruments rang out in a unison that highlighted the eloquent beauty of musicianship.
