as well as concert, and I was not disappointed. The performance was wonderful, and the opera

The reaction that I got from the Opera performance was surprised and exciting. I had never experiences a performance like that and was surprised. The voices of the singers/ actors was amazing and they took me back because it was not what I expected. The play had a story behind it and I was expecting a male or female standing on the stage singing, but this was much more. The meaning behind the performance was very intriguing. I would recommend this performance to anyone that would want to go to

“Overwhelmingly beautiful” is the description I would give to this enjoyable concert. When this team of professionals, which includes a pianist, conductor and orchestra performed together, all three were fully engaged in making the whole concert elegant. Even without professional music appreciation knowledge, I still find Piano Concerto No. 25 in C Major, K. 503 embodies all that is elegant about Mozart's sublime concerti and delivers very articulate understanding of Mozart’s spirit in music. The impersonal imagination and artistic delight brought by music is the most precious legacy left for us by the great musicians like Mozart.

The music itself was absolutely beautiful. This music made me get in touch with the deepest in my soul by its enchanting melody. I love this music and the mood it creates. No words could describe how amazing it was. It was wonderful to sit down, close the eyes and just listening. It was so much feeling, beautiful, calming, relaxing and quality music. Especially, the performers played with so much emotion. This stole my breath away. It was very sound control and beautiful rubato. The music was totally awesome and I really enjoyed it. The point of the melody was clear throughout the whole piece with the awesome harmony. In addition, the audiences were very quiet listening to the musicians playing. There was nothing distracting me during the concert. Everything went well. Totally, the music sounded great and people were quiet. I felt so relaxed, refreshed and energized. That was my chance to watch the musicians as they created awesome music. In sum, the concert was so amazing and a great

     On Sunday, December 07, 2003, I attended the Mozart and The Height of Classicism concert that was held in the Lincoln Theater of the New World Symphony orchestral academy. Conducted by Nicholas McGegan featuring pianist Robert Levin. There were two pieces of music during this concert, one of the movements was performed by the pianist alone as a solo, Mr. Robert Levin. The program’s title was Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, Chaconne from Idomeneo. The first piece was Concerto No. 24 in C minor for Piano and Orchestra, K. 491, Allegro, Larghetto, and Allegretto. The second piece was Symphony No. 36 in C major, K.425, “Linz”, Adagio-Allegro spiritoso, Andante, Menuetto-Trio, and

Their range was so amazing and sounded as if it required a lot of practice. I admire them for lasting the whole show with spotless vocals. You most definitely have to have an acquired taste for the style of music that they were singing, but not to appreciate it. Throughout the opera I had to constantly remind myself to keep a positive outlook on the performance; nevertheless, I developed a great reverence for opera singers by the end of the opera.

The concert began with Schola Cantorum and soloist Kevin Punnackal performing O Sapientia (No. 1 from the Antiphons). It was a very intimate way to start off the concert especially since I was sitting right next to them as they sang. The song in itself was effective in invoking a spirit of knowing oneself. As a listener one could feel the emotions of the song through not only the lyrics but in the way Schola Cantorum sang the song. The song was sung acapella. It was clear from the jump of their use of polyhonic texture (except when the soloist sang), pitch, key and much more. The melody was carried by their beautiful voices, working with them same tempo Leaving the audience stunned by how lovely they sounded.

I went to the concert ‘Convocation.’ This concert would have had to be my favorite out of the three concerts I attended this semester. I liked how they included the cello into some of the songs. I really liked the ‘Two Old French Dances.’ Watching her play the cello was incredible. She did a really amazing job playing those two songs. The ‘Chanson de Neige’ was a really beautiful song. Along with ‘Tango Tragique.’ These songs had me smiling and almost wanting to dance to the music. ‘Sebben crudele’ was my least favorite song through the concert. I didn’t like the tone of the song and I just felt like I didn’t connect at all with it. ‘O del Mio amato ben’ was a good song to listen to and I am glad they picked that song to sing in this concert.

The couple behind me spoke of how excited they were to see the production, which made me hopeful that my mom and I were in for quite a treat. As the lights dimmed and the orchestra began, I realized that it was far too dark to take notes. The only light in the theatre was the illumination of the orchestra pit and a single spotlight on the stage. “All the better to focus on the show,” I thought to myself. I’m now wishing it’d be able to take at least some notes as Mozart’s piece was chaotically charming, yet somewhat complicated to
