Orchestra Concert Report Sample

The concert performed by the Allen High School Symphony Orchestra, which combines the Chamber and Sinfonia Orchestras, was an amazing concert but was not a flawless one. The pieces all sounded quite wonderful on the outside, but by diving deeper into the music and truly listening to and observing the performance with a sharper eye, there were some problems that appeared in a couple different areas, and those problems came mainly from three distinct areas: tone, technique, and musicianship.

On April 14, 2016 I attended the Dvorak Cello Concerto at the Tennessee Theatre in Knoxville, Tennessee. The instruments that were being played were made up of the whole symphony orchestra. In addition, the instrument that was featured was the cello. The reasoning for this is because there was a special guest musician, Susie Yang who was performing with the orchestra and she played the cello. The structure of the performance consisted of three different main pieces of music with different sections within them. In addition, this was the first time I had been to the Tennessee Theatre. The theatre was very intriguing because of the elegance that came with it. The décor was very nice and looked expensive. It is exactly what I imagined when I thought of the setting for a symphony. It was well lit with beautiful crown molding in the celling. In addition, there were lovely curtains blocking an area that looked to be a balcony beside the stage. In addition, there was back drop lights on the walls highlighting pieces that looked to be Grecian Urns.

The concert I attended was performed by the Brooklyn College Wind Ensemble conducted by Jeff W. Ball on March 1, 2016. The Midwood High School Band, conducted by Melissa Williams, performed as special guests. Before going to the concert, I looked up Wind Ensemble so I’d know what to expect. A Wind Ensemble consists only of wind, brass, and percussion instruments. My concert experience was enjoyable as I went in knowing what the Wind Ensemble is, and went in with an open mind.

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

I saw a Beethoven concert online which took place on May 7th, 2015 in Chicago, to celebrate the anniversary of Beethoven’s glorious masterpiece Symphony 9. The concert was a classical concert which was conducted by Ricardo Muti who has remained a conductor for Philharmonica orchestra (London), and Philadelphia Orchestra. The concert was directed by Duain Wolfe who is and Americal Chorale conductor as well as the founder Colorado Symphony and the Colorado Children’s chorale. . Some of the artists who participated in the Orchestra were Camilla Nylund (played soprano), Ekaterina Gubanova (played mezzo-soprano), Matthew Polenzani (played tenor), Eric Owens (played bass-baritone), and the rest of the artists were from Chicago Symphony Orchestra. All the musicians were dressed formally in black suits with white shirts, or black dresses. The symphony was played in four movements: Allegro ma non troppo, un poco maestoso, Scherzo: Molto vivace, Adagio molto e cantabile, Finale: Ode to Joy.

On Friday, February 23rd 2018, I attended a music concert at Chabot college at building 1300. The concert was tithe “wind symphony”. The name of the performers was Chamber Ensemble, The Orchestra, The Wind Band and Jazz Ensembles. During the concert Timothy Harris was the conductor, Gray Hill the guest conductor while Joe Bonfiglio, the soloist. The instrument of the ensembles were Horns, Trumpet, Trombones, bass trombone, Harp, percussion, Clarinets and Bass Clarinet, Bassoons and contrabassoon, 1st violins, 2nd violins , flutes and piccolo, Oboe and English Horn, viola, Bass, cello, double bass, wind, saxophone, tuba, marimba , Xylophone, timpani, Piano, Bass Drum, cymbals and Snare Drum.

The musician’s performance from song to song varied. Many of the times they were seated concert style with a conductor in front. The conductor would either conduct for the whole piece or only give the starting tempo. Other times like for the performance of Footloose, the musiancs used exaggerate body movement to get the crowd exited, and a wide expressive and vocal range to convey the energy of the song. As to the vocal choir slow body movemts coupled with hand motions was used as

I attended the University Symphony Orchestra's "An Evening of Handel, Schubert, and Haydn" on Thursday, September 30, 2003 in the Daniel Recital Hall. The hall was much more crowded than I expected. At the beginning of the concert, the orchestra was seated on the stage; the men wore tuxedos, and the women wore black dresses or pants. The concertmaster came out to tune the orchestra, and then the conductor made his entrance and gave a brief description of the piece that was about to be played.

Regina Symphony Orchestra’s “Piano Poetry” involved a variety of trios and quartets and one suite that included piano, the flute, an oboe, cello, and violin. The purpose of this concert was to excite the audience for the Regina Symphony Orchestra’s very first piano festival. This performance took place on November 22nd at 2pm, located at the Government house. The players were Cherith Alexander on piano who was a guest appearance, Marie - Noelle Berthelet on the flute, Simon Fryer on the violoncello, Karen Constant on violin, Tamsin Johnston on the oboe, and lastly Simon MacDonald on Violin. In this concert report, the piece Trio in G Minor, Op. 63 - Movement 1 by Carl Maria Von Weber will be examined because it has a variety of textures, plays

Not knowing what to expect when I took my seat at the Atlanta Symphony Hall, I was anxious. I loved hearing any classical music come over the radio for a few seconds as one of my parents turned the knob on the radio while driving. No matter how hard I wished for the knob to stop turning, it never did. The only real experience I had with classical music was during Music class at school and the one teacher who played records in her room during quiet times. But this day was something special. My sister and I were asked to join a small group of teens to attend a concert of the Atlanta Symphony Youth Orchestra. The cousin of an attendee would play in the orchestra that year and I was thrilled to be attending.

The first piece performed in this concert was Norfolk Scenic Overture composed by Kenneth Ian Hytch. The piece started loudly and dramatically and it ended in a similar fashion. A quick rhythm carried on throughout the piece. The piece was mostly polyphonic, with the woodwinds, the strings, and the brasses playing different melodies. There were a lot of things that the orchestra can improve on. First of all, the orchestra was rushing in several places dragging in other places. Another problem was the balance between instruments. When the

The symphony was set in a beautiful concert venue, the Boston Symphony Hall. The high ceilings were dripping with elaborate chandeliers, creating beautiful lighting for the on stage performers. The chairs of the instrumentalists were turned in a way so that all the performers could be viewed by the audience, and the conductors back was turned so he could face his orchestra. The walls on both sides were lined with two levels of seats, and four rows of seats were organized in front of the stage. Four windows

On Wednesday, February 15, 2017, there was a concert in the Organ Recital Hall. In this concert, there were four movements that were performed. The first movement was Oxycotton by Tim Sanchez. The second movement was Acht Stucke by Paul Hindemith and performed by Samantha Post. The third movement was Blues and Variations for Monk by David Amram and performed by Nicholas Gledhill. The last movement was Misty by Errol Gardner and performed by Nikolas Valinsky, Matthew Chanlynn, Emelie Pfaff, William Gamache, and Heather Ewer. Each movement had dynamic contrast and an emotional

On October 2, 2015, I attended the Viola Quintets concert. The performance contained two violinists, two violaists, and a cellist The concert began at 7:00 pm and ended around 8:10 pm. Furthermore, it was located in the Farrell Auditorium, which is in the Saint Louis Art Museum. At this concert, I listened to professional musicians that are a part of the St. Louis Symphony perform music that was composed by Felix Mendelssohn. Felix Mendelssohn’s String Quintet No. 1 in A Major, Op. 18, and String Quintet No. 2 in B- Flat Major, Op. 87 are the two pieces the musicians played. Furthermore, these pieces are absolute music, symphonies, and have a romantic style.

Concerts contain so many sensations. The white chairs being put away, the stage getting placed back on the big black trailer piece by piece, and the quiet shuffles of the last feet leave the stadium; the stadium transforms into the purple and white stadium it once was, leaving no
