Mozart Family Concert Review Paper

It’s amazing to listen to musicians who do not normally play with each other come together and leave the audience in complete awe. That is exactly what happened on the day of Thursday November 26th 2014. The Bill Crothers Varsity Winds comprised of grade eleven and twelve students along with a few, talented grade tens went to listen to the Toronto Symphony Orchestra play. We travelled via a typical yellow school bus that took us to Roy Thomson Hall where we went right to the top level and took our seats. The seating seemed rather helpful because from a distance you could hear every instrument when you focused on it. It was beautiful. The band presented well with their “Penguin” like attire that was kind to the eyes. They appeared very organized,

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

On July 31st, 2015, at Lincoln Center: Avery Fisher Hall, the Mostly Mozart Festival Orchestra: Mozart and Brahms took place. The performers for that evening were Jeremy Denk, the pianist and Louis Langrée as the conductor. The performances that were played that night were Chaconne in D minor for piano left hand by composer Johann Sebastian Bach and Johannes Brahms, Piano Concerto No. 20 in D minor, K.466 by composer Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, and Symphony No. 4 in E minor by composer Johannes Brahms. The symphony was excellent in my opinion. The first performance, Chaconne in D minor for piano left hand wasn’t my favorite one but the last two were spectacular. It was the first time I’ve been to a classical music concert and it was a different

     Several months later, Mozart returned to Salzburg and was given the post of court organist as well as Konzertmeister. He produced numerous works during this

Through weekly private lessons, chamber, wind, and orchestra ensemble playing, and assiduous independent practice, I have improved immensely as a trombonist and musician. My work paid off when I was accepted into Boston University’s Tanglewood Institute. At this nationally competitive program, I spent six weeks with talented, dedicated students while rubbing shoulders with the Boston Symphony Orchestra (BSO). I had never heard elite musicians live before the BSO. Their concerts brought tears to my eyes and my drive to make music at the highest level grew. After receiving instruction from these musicians and hearing their own performances, I refined my technique and made more tasteful musical decisions.

I encountered many obstacles while planning the event. Due to hectic schedules, my peers were involved in other activities and had little time to assist me in planning the concert. As a result, I realized that if we wanted a successful event, I would need to take the lead alone.

Around # of students came to play, one of them being Carter Kucier, the only mellophone in our Marching Band. He said that, “*Insert Quote*”, which shows just how amazing this opportunity was. Mr. Magaro, the band director in charge of the trip, was especially

The Performing Arts Center was bustling with attendees of all ages. There were young students holding notebooks and laughing and repeatedly changing seats. There were older concert goers wearing blazers and serious expressions. A man in a black suit and a bow tie was sitting in an aisle seat holding an oboe. The atmosphere was cheerful and lively.

On November 3rd, 2016 I had a pleasure of attending James Levine’s symphony at Chicago Symphony Orchestra. James Levine is an American pianist and conductor, mainly known for being a music director of the Metropolitan Opera. He suffered many health conditions that have put his conducting aside. At the end of 2015, he left his position as a director to become an emeritus of the Metropolitan Opera. One of the interesting facts about Mr. Levine is that many of the sources do not mention is his disability. Mr. Levine is in a wheelchair and needs assistance in order to get to the podium, but his conducting is not effected by this in fact his efforts and dedication put audience into tears every time. On November 3rd, James Levine conducted Mozart’s

The performance of W.A. Mozart’s work Lucio Silla was held in Brooklyn College Opera Theatre on Friday, May 11 at 7:30pm. This piece of music was presented in a concert vision with the Conservatory Orchestra under the lead of George Rothman as the conductor, and with the Conservatory Singers under the lead of Malcolm J. Merriweather as the director. This performance is conducted by Matthew Patrick Morris, a famous singer and actor who teaches at the Brooklyn College for voice. The concert is performed by many experienced singers and musicians, and the audiences had showed their greatest respect by keeping quiet and paying attention to the performance throughout the entire concert. There was one piece of music that attracted me the most, which is the overture at the beginning of the performance.

Never could I have thought that my first concert experience was going to be in a college class, performed by various composers of classical music. During the concert, I got to listen to four performances. First, the Oxycotton was played by Tim Sanchez. Second, Samantha Post played Acht Stucke on flute, followed by Nicholas Gledhill, playing Blues and Variations for Monk on horn. Finally, the CSU Graduate Brass Quintet performed a piece named Misty. In this essay, I will share my personal experience of the concert and discuss the different elements of music seen in the different performances.

I went to a chamber music concert called Attravereso il Mare, on October 17 at 8 pm at Boston Court located in Pasadena. This project performs Italian-American songs which represent the Italian-American culture. My friend and I arrived 1 hour early, and people kept coming. Most of them are family and friends, and only few of them were coming alone, but they all had more concert experience than me because this was my first time attending any kind of concert. This concert was in a very small room with only 100 seats, but all seats were fulfilled. This concert experience impressed me a lot and changed my feeling about concert.

Avi's contribution to this ensemble has been fantastic throughout the year. He's always the first one in the studio, enthusiastically going over his music and fully energized. He played beautifully for the spring concert, even managing to reengage the snares on his drum (which he forgot to do and happened to me more than once in my career) without losing a beat--spectacular control! His mallet playing was excellent as well. Bravo, Avi! Have a great

I feel that the fourteen members of chamber orchestra and the two vocalists did an outstanding job. This piece was well put together. I loved the harmony that was brought forth between the orchestra and the vocalists. The two vocalists a tenor known as Paul Groves and a soprano known as Anna Larson, did a beautiful job staying in tune. The way that their voices went back and forth in harmony was just beautiful.

You have great and powerful music so people love to listen to you as a band. You all have great voices, and it sounds amazing when you put all of the sounds together. You’re always on the right pitch and know when to use dynamics; piano, and forte. Which is why you sound so good together, because you have such great voices. I thank you, that you put a lot of effort in making the music
