Music Concert Report Sample

All of the performers looked very comfortable and in their element. I did notice that one of the players while doing their solo accidently forgot a measure of music, but they quickly picked back up. This experience was new to me, but it was exactly like I expected it to be. It followed a stereotypical jazz concert to a tee. I honestly enjoyed the music being played but I did not enjoy my time spent their. This concert was one of the longest ones I had been to and it was frustrating. I was planning on taking my bookbag into the concert with me to take notes on the performance, but i was forced to leave my bookbag in the hallway outside of the auditorium. If it was not a requirement I probably would not go again. I would much rather go to a concert that I knew a friend who was performing in one, it would be a lot more entertaining for me. Although this concert is not something I typically would enjoy I would definitely recommend this concert to others who enjoy jazz and listening to music who is played by talented younger

The piece was extremely loud and before I looked at the program I was not sure if the trumpet ensemble was in fact the first piece or just simple entry music. Not to sound ignorant or anything, but I did not understand why they played behind the crowd; I thought it was kind of cool and different, but everyone had to turn around to see them and I found that a little odd. This piece sounded like a typical fanfare with multiple sharp notes, good end cadences, and a duple meter. I personally thought the song was very fast, but other than that it was satisfactory, the piece is not my new favorite thing, but the piece did not make me regret my decision on showing up

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.

My favorite part of the concert was the second part. The group played a song called “Body and Soul.” The guitarist played slowly before the others joined. They created a relaxed atmosphere with an old-school effect. All the notes were legato except the melodies of the drum which was staccato. The combination added character to the piece and made it entertaining. At 19:00, the pianist played briskly but beautifully, then the guitarist did the same. The notes became high pitched and the tempo and dynamics increased. After the guitar stopped, everything went into decrescendo and the melodies from the bass and drums became choppy (staccato). Overall the piece surrounded the theme of dependence and how it affects one’s happiness or strength. The piano and the guitar brought the happy aspect to the piece and without it, everything weakened and became uncoordinated. Initially it celebrated peace,

The third song of the concert that I was interested in was called “Im Blue”. The general character of this song is mellow and has a New Orleans jazz melody to it. Rhythm in the song has a nice calming harmonious tone to it throughout. The timbre in this song is calming color to it making it a peaceful piece. The emotional content in this song come from the sax player when it’s his time to shine the whole band engages with everyone grooving out. The tempo of the song is very calming and brings you into a relaxing body feel. The emotional content also comes from the lyrics itself rather than from

On November 17, 2015, I attended a Jazz concert at the UIC Recital Hall featuring Chris Madison and the UIC Jazz Ensemble. The instruments that were played that night include; trumpet, which were played by Giovanni Garcia and Gustavo Espino, the trombone that was played by Thomas Graf, the saxophone, which were played by Robert Bugos, Mitzi Ochoa-Sanchez, Nicholas Buitrago, Mariah Phillips, Drew Sansom, Aaron Newsome- Brownlee, Ashanti Gayden, Alex Rivera, and Alec Cohen, the clarinet was also played by Ashanti Gayden, and the flute was played Laura Erickson. In the rhythm section there were drums that were played by Frank Glassman and Alex Tellez, the bass that was played

For my concert report, I chose to attend a University Chambers Players performance. Within this classical genre of music, the pieces performed were all homophonic in texture and each melody introduced was supported by chordal accompaniment. All of the pieces performed ranged from an eighteenth to twentieth century time period, and furthermore, each performance employed the use of western world instruments, such as the piano, cello, violin, and viola.

The band was directed by Jordan Sayre and Arnold Rose. The band started off with “Perdido Arranged by Roland Barret/Juan Tizol”. For a high school band they had very strong beginning, the song was very fast tempo, and lots of bold accents through the piece. The tenor sax was really the star of this piece the band was really following him instead the tenor sax kind of keeping time and beat. The band played about 2 more songs and LCHS Jazz I came on to stage about played another 3 songs as well. One the played was Called “The Chicken arranged by Kris Berg/Alfred James”. This songs included a lot of saxophones solos from alto sax to baritone sax. The trumpet also played a big part to for solo, this piece they did lot of crescendos as well as decrescendos. It gave a more bold jazz feeling which I really enjoyed. Last but not least the NMSU jazz I came about on the stage to finish out the concert. They had four songs to play instead of three like the other bands. They started off with “Cell Talk composed by Sammy Nestico”. This piece was a calmer piece like a modern typical jazz piece. There was great transitions as well bold accents through the pieces. The band ends with a piece called “Uno Mas composed by Paul Lopez”. This piece was more fast tempo as well bold accents was well especially from the trumpets. It gave me more a swing vibe it was super neat to hear. This piece was perfect

The next composition was “Next Exit” written by Scott Martin. At the beginning, played piano, guitar, bass, and two percussions. After several seconds, joined the brasses and a violin. The tempo was played at medium, in my opinion. At the middle of the piece, one of the brass had improvisation after which the audience applauded very loudly. It was very nice to watch each of the musicians. Especially, I liked the end of the composition as they stopped all in an instant. It was just awesome!

On October 13, I attended a concert by the UT Jazz orchestra at the Bates Recital Hall. This performance consisted of seven pieces and all were stylistically different, which allowed the audience to enjoy the various sounds of jazz music. Among the instrument groups, there are saxophones, trumpets, trombones, piano and drums. Professor Jeff Hellmer served as director andJohn Mills appeared as guest conductor. The whole concert made a lasting impression on me.

On December 5th, the University High School Show Choir and Jazz Band performed. The show that the UHS Show Choir put on turned out to be fantastic. There were seven songs that the Show Choir performed, which varied from Ella Fitzgerald as well Broadway Musicals from Anything Goes, Gentleman Prefer Blondes, and Chicago. The first number was a song called “Anything Goes” from the 1934 musical Anything Goes, which was sung by soloist, Madelene Raneses. Madelene has very good potential in her singing as well as dancing. The dancing in this performance was greatly choreographed by Mylan Biltz. Furthermore, the concert moves on with their second number, which was Ella Fitzgerald’s minor, but lovely tune, “I Got Rhythm”. This song was performed

The jazz band performance was phenomenal! The jazz band consisted of saxophones, trumpets, tubas, pianos, guitars, basses, and percussions. The band had the audience enthused by their solo performances and their musical style. Each of the band’s performance had me inspired by the meaning and idea of the story, memorable features, and more.

My favourite piece from the percussionist was when she started playing The Village. The unique sound of The Marimba left me in awe and made me feel like I was in a village in Africa with jungles surrounding it. It was defiantly one of my favourite pieces! Another enjoyable piece was the Moderato by Piu Mosso. It was different than the other pieces because it conveyed what I felt like was a horror feeling. The tuba started off the piece and was later accompanied by the trumpets in a minor note but later on changed to major tonality near the middle of the piece. It was very elegant and I enjoyed the major parts more than the minor parts in this piece. The group also played some other interesting pieces near the end of the performance which caught my attention. She’s like the swallow (Newfoundland) was a very interesting piece because it sounded like a James Bond piece in the beginning but soon changed into a weird piece because it didn’t follow the normal flow of music and was not as calm as I expected it to be. Another piece that I believe didn’t follow the normal patterns of music and sounded kind of odd was Star Dust. It did

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.
