Mosley Street Melodrama Concert Report

The music performance I went to see was the University Symphony Halloween concert held in Comstock Concert Hall. This was the first time I had been to a symphony production and was eager to see what was in store. The show started off with each part of the orchestra introducing themselves in different costumes and skits. For example, the cellos were dressed in camouflage and the tubas were dressed as sheep. After a long introduction the lights dimmed and the show started. Attending this performance opened my eyes to how many elements there really were to music. It also showed me how each specific element has its own specific roll and impact on each performance.

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

The concert was very good overall. I am not interested in the classical music concert, but this concert made me thing different towards the classical concerts. Also I learned about the instrument called organ, very interesting instrument. I strongly recommend going to the organ concert. Especially if Dr. Carol Williams and Martha Jane Weaver are starring, you should definitely attend. No regret

The music played throughout all of the concerts adhered to be diverse. The instruments, the individuals performing, and the conductor all proved to be outstanding. The concerts proved to be interesting as I witnessed them, first hand.

They also played “Let’s Dance” by David Bowie. The two guitarists seem to start off simultaneously playing their guitars letting the musical beats take center stage before the vocalists began to sing the lyrics. The female vocalists started the next song a cappella (Chain, chain, chain) Aretha Franklin song “Chain of Fools” after a few chorus the instruments started to play the piano, guitar and then the drums throughout the song with a driving beat. The night began to wind down and the band played “Some Kind of Wonderful” by John Ellison it was first released by Soul Brothers Six in 1976. This song had the whole place singing along. As I close with my review of what I thought of the band I can personal say I enjoyed myself. They were very entertaining the kept the crowed singing and dancing with an upbeat present. They played most of the song true to the original version. If you like old school 70s and 80s music with a mixture of different genres, then you would like this

The concert that I attended was a charity concert, which was organized in Boston at a local university there. The South Asian Student Union of Harvard University organized the concert. I happened to be in Boston and this particular concert was organized for benefit causes such as using the proceeds of the concert to fund a number of poverty alleviation projects in South Asia. The concert was organized in a rather big room, which had a very big podium, as well as at least 500 seats that had been placed in it. Therefore, the overall hall where this concert took place was a typical auditorium setting with seating and a stage at the front. The concert promoters talked about different cause benefits related to alleviation of poverty in South Asia and that’s why the concert was organized. The organizers also informed the audience that the musicians wore traditional clothing so that the audience members could also have a good insight and understanding of the South Asian culture. All of ticket revenues for this concert were then given to a number of charities which then would use those funds to assist the different poverty alleviation programs in the larger South Asian region.

As I was sitting in the audience, the first thing that I noticed was that the audience consisted of all ages, ranging from eighteen years of age to perhaps eighty years of age. In preparation for the concert to begin, several performers entered the room and tuned their instruments to the keys on the piano. The performers’ attire was highly conservative, covering almost every inch of their entire body, and they wore all black from head to toe. When the concert began, the audience clapped as the performers were introduced and were walking out onto the playing area. As the performers took their seats in front of their stands, the audience became quiet and there was a short moment of silence before the performance commenced.

They played a variety of fast and slow pieces. Some pieces they danced to, others they sat and played, but most of the time at least one person was walking around stage. I enjoyed it a lot more than I thought I would. Especially the way the members talked to the audience. It felt more like they were bringing us into their daily shenanigans than bring us in to watch them preform. Michael talked about the ensemble at the very beginning and then explained why the concert was called “The American Journey”. The way Michael spoke was very Disney cast member like. Explaining everything in a friendly tone and inviting us to watch what was about to happen and made me enjoy the whole experience even

The opening performance of The Addams Family, which was the upper school musical of the year, was that night. The Addams Family was probably the most complex show that we members of stage crew had ever tackled? The show included 10 different eight-foot flats, a full-sized dining room table and chairs, three rolling platforms, and even a fully-operational torture device. Mr. Kupersmith, the play’s energetic technical director, hung the lights, designed the props, and was supposed to help us move set pieces on stage during the show. Now we had to do the musical without him because he had strep throat! I was a freshman at

During the show was entertaining they had Beyoncé, Madonna,Adele,Tina Turner ,and Cher impersonator. While they had an intermission during each performance they would ask for anyone if was their birthday or they were bachelorette. They would bring them up on stage and sit on stage ask questions. Like what’s your age, name, and if you were married or not. If you were up there for your birthday. The night I went we didn’t have any bachelorettes there so I guess would be interesting on what they would do. Also the favorite word there is bitch and I love that about the place.Also while my time there everyone was very welcoming and happy to be there.

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

These concert goers enjoyed no rules, drug use, sex, and loud rock music. Some of the best known artists from this concert were; Creedence Clearwater Revival, The Who, The Grateful Dead, The Rolling Stones, Sly & the Family Stone, and Jefferson Airplane.

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 overall concert offered a wide verity of choir song, from classical pieces composed by Mozart to musical show tunes. The combination of which resulted in an overall enjoyable experience. The concert was not the first choir concert I had ever attended so I went in expecting it to be similar to the high school choir performances I have seen before. I was not expecting the scale of the concert to be so large. Instead of being one choir and an hour-long program there were four groups along with a much longer program. Each of the choir groups had a different dynamic, sound and feel to it. The differences made it interesting.

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.
