Lotus World Music Festival Case Study

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.

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

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:

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.

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,

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.

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.

As discussed throughout this course music is a bridge that brings people together. As I sat through this concert I looked around and noticed that there was a great mixture of cultures and races attending despite the small attendance for the event. Socially I noticed that people were conversing and laughing with one another. Parents were engaging and being attentive to their young children as they ran around on skates and scooters. It made an impression on me that it was a time that for many people, was a bonding experience. Memories were being made for people of all ages.

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

Specific Purpose: To inform my audience about how modern music festivals emerged and how/why they have completely transformed globally

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.

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.

“While attendance at concerts and festivals for other music genres declined by 8.3% in the past three years, EDM has only prospered” (Lashbaugh, 2013).

Ultra Music Festival (UMF) is a yearly open air electronic music celebration that happens in March in the city of Miami, Florida, United States (DURAN, 2013).In this report I have analysed about the ultra-Miami festival event in USA and what is behind the success of the event. Events rarely succeed or fail it is totally depending on the scheduling and who all are the stakeholders are supporting the particular event. For a successful event there are several potential goals to satisfy and a plethora of stakeholders to involve (Presenza, 2012). Festivals are mostly unique in the events sector how the stakeholders are involved in the events. Media is mainly involved in a group way in television and
