Lotus World Music & Arts Festival Case Study In early November, the world-renowned cellist Yo-Yo Ma came to Bloomington and performed at the IU Auditorium. I have heard his music through many of his recordings and was not only touched by his music but also admired all his musically experiments that helped us understand more about different cultural music. However, I never got the chance to attend his live performances before, so when I knew he would come here and perform, I bought his concert tickets as soon as possible. I think that is the magic and power of live performances. No matter how many times you have heard that song before, you still want to experience more about it. Live performances give us the feeling that we are interacting with the musicians and sharing the story …show more content…
From 1999 to 2009, concert ticket sales in the U.S. tripled from $1.5 billion to $4.6 billion, vastly exceeding the growth of inflation and population growth” (Lee, n.p.). It is obvious that the demand of live performances keeps increasing and as Billboard stated “32 million people go to at least one U.S. music festival every year” (Lynch, n.p.). As an important part of the live performances, music festivals are gaining the popularities world widely and people are willing to enjoy their leisure with friends and families at music festivals. I went to several different kinds of music festivals at both China and United States, and they were all great experiences. According to Timeout.com, among the list they provided for 50 best music festivals around the world, there are 10 of them are music festivals taking place at U.S. (Curle, n.p.). From those statistics, it is not hard to find out that music festivals are popular at U.S. and when you look at those music festivals, they are varies at geographic and genres as well. So I think it is optimistic to say that music festivals open another way for people to enjoy the music and enjoy the social
Explain the role of capitalism in the 100-year growth of Nederlander Concerts. How does Nederlander benefit from each of the fundamental rights of capitalism?
The major weakness in the survey was not targeting the core group of subscribers that the initial decline in attendance was targeted as a problem. Because the majority of the respondents had not been too a concert in several years, this information will do very little to discover why there has been a loss in season ticket holders year to year. Unfortunately a separate survey must be done at the next regularly scheduled event. This survey must concentrate on the following key areas:
I saw my first bond reduction hearing at High Point’s courthouse. A middle-aged woman was in jail for assault on a female, which resulted in minor injuries. The defendant had four biological children and two adopted children. She reported that she had employment before the crime. The defendant was requesting a bond reduction. To help her case, the victim of the crime wanted to appear before the judge to speak on the defendant’s behalf. The judge might not have dropped the case, but the witnesses’ testimony could have persuaded him to reduce the defendant’s bond. The judge asked the witness for identification, but she did not have it. So, the judge dismissed the motion for a reduction in bond. The witness had some power to influence the judge.
The festival which already receives funding from major companies, can seek out new music focused company sponsorship's that will provide aid for the costs of the concerts. The last opportunity for the festival includes the role it can provide in educating the local youth about local cultural music, theater, and arts. Many may grow up to have a strong appreciation towards their own communities’ festival.
In a small recreational center in Charlotte, North Carolina came together a group of individuals with immense talent. These accomplished individuals not only shared a love for the performing arts, but a profound love for their grieving community. The Listen Up! semi-annual showcase was put together in the wake of the Keith Lamont Scott incident which shook up the Charlotte community. Tyrone Jones and the Charlotte Symphony wanted to give the people an outlet for expressing their emotions about current events, and so, they put together the Listen Up! showcase. Expertly crafted, Tyrone Jones and the Charlotte Symphony were profoundly effective at blending various forms of performing arts into one cohesive show that addressed current events,
After watching “The Language You Cry In” in class, I found myself reflecting on how music has impacted my life and with whom I have shared it with. It’s truly incredible how a simple, 5 line chorus ultimately allowed this woman to discover her history as it traveled from Sierra Leone all the way to the Gullah society in Georgia. The really displays the power that music can have over not only individual societies, but over the globe. No matter what political movements were occurring and throughout the immense inequality and slavery that was being faced, music has always remained reliable. This song brought people together and allowed them to embrace their heritage even in the worst of times, and I believe that this is still true today.
My life would be incomplete without performing music. I’ve spent time, in concert bands, in bell choirs, in school and church choirs, and singing, playing in music festivals, and in pit bands trying not to laugh my head off at the actors’ improvisations. But the art that truly speaks to my soul does not lie in creating music, it lies in dancing to it.
Going to a music festival is an unforgettable experience, and you will definitely love it. It does not matter, if it is your first time, or fifteenth time – it is always new and exciting!
The article, “During Sermon on Violence, N.C. Pastor Confronts Man With Rifle” written by Carma Hasssan talks about how a young man in about his 20’s comes into a church and confesses his wrongdoing. A couple days ago it was a celebration for us all as we celebrated another year gone and for this church it was no different. The pastor in the church named Larry Wright was giving his speech 20 minutes before midnight. All at once a man walks in with a rifle as the pastor is talking about gun violence. Larry described gun violence as senseless and purely devastating. The man was already sitting down and in one hand was his rifle and the other was a magazine filled with ammo. The pastor was one of the first people to recognize the man and what he was carrying, which lead to Larry walking back to the man to start a conversation with the gunman. The
Plato once opined “Music gives a soul to the Universe, wings to the mind, flight to the imagination and life to everything.” This Greek philosopher knew what makes the world go around and he knew that a signal angelic note or a beautiful song could possibly change someone’s mood. Kazual(Casual) an Americans Got Talent: Semi-Finalist, took a page from Plato. They are currently touring nationwide. An opportunity arose to meet them at the 2016 Ohio State Fair. The compassion and pure love for music could be seen in their eyes as they belted out beautiful runs, breathtaking falsettos and perfectly executed harmonies. Music would not be where it is today without this constant drive to use music to touch peoples heart. Kazual strongly believe in covers of songs. They take artist songs and turn them into their own work of art, like Pentatonic. They are no way comparable to Lata Mangeshkar, but the few songs that they have done has impacted the melting pot we call Columbus Ohio. Country, jazz, blues, pop, classic rock and bluegrass are but a few genres of music Kazual has sung at various stands throughout of the fairgrounds.
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
In this chapter we will discuss and analize about the Social & cultural impacts of Glastonbury festival. As we know, The Glastonbury festival is a largest open-air music and performing arts in the world so it has considerable influence to people about social and cultural.
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
Project management has always been an important branch of management. It involves gathering different resources with using a scientific approach of management to build all types of projects, starting from infrastructure facilities and buildings, to IT projects, or even to prepare and manage special events. As far as special events are concerned, Music Festivals usually require precise planning and organising for many reasons. The huge number of guests associated with such events, and the different types of resources needed to complete the project are all crucial elements, and will make planning for the Music Festival such a challenging task for the project manager, especially if it lasts for few days. The lack of accommodation, the hilly nature of the ground, and unexpected changes in weather are all problems facing the project manager that need to be addressed appropriately. This essay will discuss the resourcing plan, risk management plan, and leadership and management plan for the Music Festival. it will also discuss the reasons behind choosing the predictive approach among other available options in implementing project life cycles.
