Nafme Collegiate Recital Concert Report

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

I chose the genre string quartet and attended a concert at First Presbyterian church on October 19th, 2014. Because of its location the sanctuary where the concert took place had many stained glass windows. It was marvelous and in my opinion well suited the feel of classical music. The audience was very responsive and attentive. They applauded when the musicians appeared, in between pieces, and at the very end. They were quick to join in the sing along portion of the concert. Overall the people attending were an older crowd but you could tell they truly appreciated the music. The concert’s duration was around an

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.

“A Music Faculty Recital” at Prince George 's Community College was actually the very first concert I’ve been to that included Baroque style. The environment created a nostalgic yet modern and elegant mood; something that made you feel like you were in the late 1700’s yet still in modern times. The songs were mostly enjoyable and we 're all well played. This concert included an ensemble: the flute, the cello, the piano, and the harpsichord. Peggy Bair, who played the flute, was very enthusiastic. Irma Cripe, who played the cello, was quiet for the first part of the concert but gradually became more important throughout the concert. And lastly, the virtuous Gary Kirkeby, who played the piano and harpsichord, served as the backbone of all parts of the concert and made this concert very enjoyable.

The third act was lovely Eli Womble. He is not only a music major, but also on the soccer team. He was not alone and with him on stage were his very good friends. Firstly, he gave a shout out to his mother and girlfriend who sat on the front row. They played two songs clearly Womble had the most fans in the audience. There were a lot of soccer players in the audience who sung along with his song and clearly enjoyed their teammate talents. His teammate, Catawba soccer defense player Jared Bieber said, “He just gets better and better every time I hear him play, he is going to be a superstar.”

I went to the Colorado Springs Philharmonic on October 22 2017, the concert was performed at the fine arts center and lasted 2 hours. The Colorado Springs Philharmonic performed under Josep Caballe-Domenech the conductor. The concert was put on as part of the October arts month at the Fine Arts Center. The Music was from the Romantic Period, it featured a full symphony. The musical instruments that were featured was a full range of strings including: violin, viola, double-bass, and the cello. It also featured a whole set of brass and wind instruments.

I attended a Senior Recital performed by Travis Hogue-Smith. This concert took place at Barry University’s chapel on March 28, 2017 at 7:30 PM. The instruments used in this concert are a clarinet, played by Travis Hogue-Smith, and a piano, play Dr. Beverly Coulter. Music from both Romantic and Classical genres were played in this concert.

Performance took place at Wolfson Auditorium, comfortable and professional stage right on campus with easy access and perfect timing for me.

Honestly, I am not really a fan of jazz music. I think it is boring to listen too. However, I actually enjoyed the show itself. It was really cool to watch these great artists combine their instruments in a beautiful collaboration. I was absolutely blown away by the skill level. The bassist, Steve Bailey, was incredible. He did not stick to the whole jazz theme the whole show. He was playing covers of several genres and artists while adding his own on-the-spot music. It was awesome to watch him play. He was my favorite artist of the night to watch.

The recital took place on Monday, February 12, 2018 at 7pm at the Capistrano concert hall. It was a graduate piano recital performed by Eunice Bancu Aldrich. The stage was set up with the piano being stationed straight in the middle being presented with all its glory and the spotlight straight on the performer. It consisted of a single ensemble played on the piano. The music genre of the recital was classical. The lengths of the pieces were both short and long,which included powerful pieces such as: Nocturn (Homage to John Field), Opus 33 - Samuel Barber, Nocturne No.10 in A-flat major, Opus 32, No.2 - Frédéric Chopin, Nocturne No.1 in C Major - Francis Poulenc, Nocturne, Opus 38, No.4 - Lowell Liebermann. The setting was different to watch, since this is the first time I have attended a recital; it had a very different sensation to the whole performance.

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.

The concert I attended was called the Brooke Howard, Senior Clarinet Recital on November the 3rd at the Blankenship Recital Hall. The performances consisted of the clarinet, piano, djembe, drum, and a quartet. There were five pieces performed, four of the pieces were classical with one having a more tribal beat with the djembe.

We looked for the seats marked Section 5, Row 21, Seat 1 and 2. Minutes after finding row 5 and sitting in the first two spots, a few girls approached us saying that we were in their seats. After comparing our tickets to theirs, we found out that Cody and I were in Section 4 and that we needed to go to the other side of the bench, moving us incredibly closer to the stage. This excited and embarrassed us so much that we sat in laughter for about 10 minutes. Cassadee Pope was the opening show, and she was absolutely incredible. I have to say she was a great performer, but after a few of her songs Hunter Hayes came running onto the stage singing ¨Storm Warning,¨ and I had no doubts that he was far better than any other performer I had ever seen. Hunter Hayes continued to amaze me for about 2 more hours by singing, dancing, and giving an amazing speech. When he gave his speech, he talked about something slightly close to home. He spoke about the shootings in Orlando, where my brother was living at the time. This hit me pretty hard because losing my brother from 1,600 miles away would really be painful. In all honesty the night of singing my heart out had seemed to end in the blink of an eye. When we eventually made it into the backseat of our car, Cody and I couldn't help but laugh and smile at the thought of what we had just

On Thursday April 25, 2013 , I attended a jazz vocal concert at the Music Concert Hall. The first vocal ensemble opened up the performance with a slow rhythmic song called Blue Skies. It began with vocals and I noticed a light auxiliary percussion and drum rhythm. Also, the bass guitarist used walking bass and the piano and electric guitar joined in as well. The first song also consisted of two soloist Regina and Chantel who took the front stage to show off their chops. After the solo performances they fell back into the vocal sections and finished off the song as a complete band. The second performance had a piano opening which led to vocals joining in at the same time as the rhythm section. This performance
