The Addams Family Concert Report

On November twenty-ninth, I attended APSU Student Recital at the George and Sharon Mabry Concert Hall. The performance consisted of only three pieces, yet both were met with enthusiastic applause and praise. When I attended the performance I hear and seen exactly what I expected which were student performing amongst their peers. This particular performance was different because I never experience a student recital. I was very pleased by the performance I thought it was very entertaining and interesting.

The band that I went to see was the Shapiro Brothers. The band consists of two siblings, which includes a singer and a powerful guitarist. The lead singer is a female and the lead guitarist is a male. The concert/live music took place at the Louisiana Jazz Kitchen (Kansas City, Mo), which is a restaurant that is based off Louisiana soul food. I am a regular customer at this restaurant, therefore I am familiar with the bands that come to give a show, expect the Shapiro Brothers. Unfortunately, I know little about the band and their music but they did give an amazing show, due to their soothing and unique music.

Notes from “It’s Only Love” by The Beatles sounded through Norris University Center on Wednesday to kick off Lunch on the Lake, a six-week series of noontime concerts featuring live music and BBQ food.

World music is a traditional music from all around the world and it is widely spread throughout the countries like Indian music, Italian music, or my personal favorite Spanish music. A lot of people went to the concerts and saw things that they never seen it before. On August 14, 2015, I attended a world music concert, “Buena Vista Social Club” and it is Cuban music filled with the performers and instruments. The first thing I saw is few performers are already playing their instruments like they are welcoming us. It is lively tune that match the dances and few performers snapping their own fingers. It was amusing. When the people speak cuban language, I don’t understand them, but I can tell their moves and instruments. It is a world tour that

For six years I've been in my school's choir at Buchtel Community Learning Center. That choir has taught me a lot of things; how to blend voices together, how to read music, even how to correctly warm up your voice and the posture when singing. I take these lessons everywhere I go, especially to the music program I was in, STARS. STARS was a music program that was spread all over the country that helped young people showcase their talents and gave them opportunities to learn more about their craft. We had visitors come to show us how to write lyrics, harmonize, and shared their stories on how they came from nothing and did what they truly wanted to do, perform. There were about seven people that were in STARS stationed in Akron and we were

The name of the group that I went to see was the Mosley Street Melodrama group that performed High School Melodrama. The date I went was July 15th 2017 at 7:50 pm. The venue was a oblong rectangular room with the stage positioned toward the middle of the long side. The tables were covered in a hard plastic with tears in most of them. The building however was in Old Town Wichita, where there is beautiful brick architecture and roads. The behavior of the majority of the audience was slightly intoxicated and a very chill vibe that of wanting to have a good time. The audience was dressed very casually. The actors however were dressed in hilariously outdated costumes during the performance. But later on in the night they all changed into tuxedos and the girls changed into black and red dresses.

I don’t usually care too much for folk music, but I enjoyed this concert more than I expected to. The songs were very well-written. Luke had a story to go with each song, and he is a wonderful storyteller. However, he seemed to focus on the stories and songwriting more than the actual music. The melodies were simple, and while he knew his songs well, he hadn’t practiced with his guitarist very much. I think this actually contributed to the theme and feel of his music, which is songs from home that probably won’t otherwise be told. He has only released two albums, and I think this performance was very well-done considering where he is at in his

The first concert I attended was my high schools forty- sixth annual Rock N’ Roll Revival. The show is based off a show back in the late sixties and early seventies by the same name that a few students saw. Little did those students know that the show would turn into phenomenon when they decided to bring it back to Sherwood High School. When the show started it was more like a talent show with MC’s and the talents consisting of rock n’ roll songs. This style of the show lasted until Rock N’ Roll Revival #11 when it was decided to cut the comedy acts of the MC’s and focus all of the attention on the music. This new direction into the realm of pure rock n’ roll has stood the test of time and for a good reason.

Along with a close friend of mine, we co-founded a new chamber music collective within our community, which we have come to call Pulp Music (a reference to the famous citrus groves in the city of Redlands). We both identified a specific need within the surrounding community of the University of Redlands: chamber music. While the city has culturally enshrined musical institutions, like the Redlands Symphony Orchestra and summer musical productions at the Redlands Bowl (an outdoor amphitheater), there is no chamber music ensemble or series of concerts in the community.

Before this concert, I was not sure what to expect from a singer/song writer who was straight out of college, but Liz exceeded my expectations. Liz showed me something no other concert has yet to show me, that no matter what is going on in your life you can put time and effort into something you truly care about and you will learn something from it. This concert did make me want to attend more singer/songwriter concerts in the future at Millersville because it brings a different perspective into your life and allows you to reflect on things you have experienced or learned about. Liz had such as positive attitude about an industry you may struggle in if you are not “popular,” making it the most positive part of the performance. I did not really

Of the ‘90s hard rock (American “punk”), I particularly like The Offspring, Green Day, and Blink 182. I have some of their albums. I don’t mind hearing some Simple Plan either. They are from my X Generation. I have the “Ixnay on the Hombre” album in CD format and their Greatest Hits. The Offspring’s songs have a lot of bass in it without sounding metal, so I know why it appeals to you. Today was the first time I visited their official website and I see that the concert is in Manchester on Tuesday 25th of August. When did you come across hearing of The Offspring? You would have been 11 years old when they became famous!

The Addams Family revolves around the Addams, who are a ghoulish, well-to-do family. The storyline centers on a con artist, Abigail Craven, and her son, Gordon, who conspire with the Addams’s fraudulent accountant to run off with the Addams fortune, by passing off Gordon as Fester, Gomez Addams’s estranged and long lost brother. However, as Gordon lives amongst the Addams, he starts to grow close to them and realizes that he shares similar interests such as scars, scabs, and sword fighting. By the end of the movie, Gordon must make a choice between his manipulative, destructive mother, Abigail Craven or the strange yet loving Addams family.

Being in the Youth Orchestras of Fresno for the past 5 years, I have had the pleasure of working on some of the most incredible pieces in orchestra literature. I’ve been a part of some special concerts, like performing Stravinsky’s “Rite of Spring,” Bernstein’s “On the Waterfront,” “Symphony No. 12” by Shostakovich, “Short Ride in a Fast Machine” by Adams, and Mussorgsky’s “Pictures at an Exhibition,” but there is one piece in particular that has made a huge impact on me and many people in the Central Valley in California. Premiering “Water(less) Music),” by Dr. Ben Boone, was written for the Youth Orchestras of Fresno two years ago while California was, and still is, experiencing a severe drought.

A few steps away from the double doors, I can already hear the basses playfully competing against each other, somebody noodling on the piano, and the violins debating on who should sit in the first chair. While some of the students are practicing, others are conversing about the upcoming test next period. No matter how many times I enter the same room, there is always the same comfortable atmosphere.

The performance which I went to see was The Nutcracker. It took place at the Michigan Opera Theater at the Detroit Opera House. I went to saw it on Sunday, Nov. 29, 2015, 2:30pm. This theater since you began to enter there were a lot of person with semi-formal clothe. Something that surprise me is that before you enter to the theater they were having two beautiful reindeers and you can take picture with it. Inside the theater, the lobby area, well that was huge with beautiful decorations about the theme of Christmas. They were having cocktails and candy for kids. In the upper floor you can also take picture with Santa Claus and The Nutcracker. Also, there was a beautiful chorus sang by kids in the upper level, which the theme was about Christmas. All the kids dress in black, while everyone enter to the theater and you could saw them.
