The At The Beat Hotel At Harvard Square

I now realise that the Arts, including music, creates opportunities to engage, inspire and enrich our lives. Music making and responding can challenge, provoke responses and enrich our knowledge and understanding of ourselves, our communities and the world.

Music is a very powerful expression of emotions that come together as a whole to morph your psychological feelings into a sub-reality vision. Over the many years, history has been able to capture the moments at which music has made an impact on human lives. We can start with Manu Chao the artist that sings about left-wing messages and portrays his concerts as “collective therapy”. Or Juan Gabriel the young man that rose out of poverty to become the world’s most beloved artist/songwriter and whose music carried a resonate flamboyant style. Music is a way of communication that is used in many realms such as entertainment, tradition religion and sporting events. So far this semester, Chic 316 has influenced me to seek a more coherent relationship

On Tuesday, April 12th 2016 I went to Chris Jazz Café to see a live Jazz performance from three young artists; Dave D’Arville the Temple Jazz Guitarist, Alex Cross the Pianist, Mat Campbell was on the Bass and Phil Arrington was on the Drums. The show started at 7 pm and ended at 10 however, at 8:30 there was an intermission. Chris Jazz café was on a little block called Sansom Street, at first it was hard to find because the hotel parking sign covered the Jazz sign. When you first walk in, the hosts greet you and ask if you want to sit near the stage or in the back a one of the high-top tables. The atmosphere of the place was really nice, it was good vibes and so relaxed; the café felt safe to be alone that evening.

This past season, 2016, at The Atlantic Eyrie Lodge it was an exceptional year! Profitability this past season was above all the last eight years, bringing in profits of over 1.25 million dollars. With this exceptional staff returning for the 2017 season, we feel profits of 1.5 million for the 2017 season is within reach. We had more “Full House” nights in October of 2016, than we did in the whole season of 2015. Our goal for the 2017 season will be to average one “Full House” every week we are open for the season, for a total of 26 nights of having a “Full House”. To help achieve this goal we will be targeting the middle-class families and people who travel with their pets.

I watched my father share his music with all who thirsted after it. With strangers, his music broke the ice. People's faces would light up the moment Dad's music started. He got asked to play for baby confirmations, baptisms, school programs, church programs, weddings, anniversaries, birthdays, parties, and often visited nursing homes.

Berkeley’s 7th Street Band has made its name backing some of the greats and new voices of reggae and running its own studio. While 7th Street Band has been hitting the West Coast stages for a decade, drummer Edi Arnold and keyboardist Benjamin Goff, friends since high school, have played together since 1992. The duo is the production team for its Berkeley studio, and on stage the group expands with other musicians, including bassist Mony Lujan (of Dubwize), who has worked with 7th Street since 2010. 7th

On November 10th from 12:30 to 1:30, Taxi Chain performed a free concert in The Family Martin at York University. Grier Coppins founded Taxi Chain in 1993. They offer bluesy jigs and strong overtones of old school funk, R&B, rock n roll, country, folk and world music. This vast amount of styles allowed for their performance to be very intriguing. The styles are versatile, daring and fun (York university website). The setting of the performance was at The Family Martin Lounge, so the environment was relaxed. Everyone was doing their own thing in addition to listening. The atmosphere of the space was relaxed and most people were just doing their own thing while getting to enjoy the fantastic music that was being played. Truthfully, I choose this

The music event took place at the Harvey Theater in the Brooklyn Academy of Music (BAM). The venue looked like it has risen from the dead; the architecture shakes at its bare brick walls and ghosts of decades carved out of the walls, columns, and ceiling. To the right of the entrance, past the box office, is a spacious waiting area where

Music has become such an important part of people’s lives today. One cannot walk down the street without seeing earbuds in a person’s ears or hearing the bass to a radio in someone’s car. But how did music become such an important and constant part of the lives of so many? What do artists have to go through to reach their audience? At the beginning of musical development from the medieval Georgian chant to the arias of Mozart and fugues of Beethoven, people could only listen to music in a live setting. This is how most performers would make their money. According

Music has always been a major part of my family and my parents were determined that my sister and I were well acquainted with music from a young age. Inspired by the sound of the piano by the time I was six, I knew that I wanted to learn how to play it. Fast forward to the first day of class, my teacher, Ms. Lilly, guided me through the school and into a narrow hallway that held five doors. Each door opened to a cramped room that each held a piano, a stool, and a chair. Ms. Lilly’s hand softly held my shoulder as she led me to the first room. I became excited to finally expand my knowledge of music, excited to be given the opportunity to not only listen, but play music, excited that I had the opportunity to inspire others. But I soon became apprehensive about the idea of playing in front of a crowd. I worried that I wasn’t ready to excel in such a complex instrument. I held my breath and sat on the wooden stool beside my teacher, my conflicting emotions, making me dizzy, but

Emphasis will be placed on how the music seems to affect the audience during the concert and how the audience reacted to the songs played. I do recollect growing up, I was expected to be involved in church because it was a family custom and tradition. My parents and I were in church

On Friday, February 27th I attended the Ball and Chain Quartet featuring Jesse McGinty on the tenor sax, Nick Tannura on guitar/composer, Derek Fairholm on organ, and Aaron Gluedcant on drums. I approached them before the first set to see if I could ask them questions in between sets, and they were very receptive to the idea. The bars setup allowed the music to reverberate, and the quartet filled the space quite well. The overall feel of the local captures a little piece of history in Miami that goes back as far back as 1935 to when the club was first opened. Over the next two decades legendary artists of the day graced that stage, including Count Basie, Billie Holiday, and Chet Baker. The ambiance was very relaxed with trendy, talkative patrons chatting over tapas and drinks.

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.

Every week at Soya-Restaurant at Midtown opens its door for some live Jazz. It had a great atmosphere while you eat or just enjoy some drinks at the bar. Last Saturday it opens its door to a unique,unscripted and talented performer Brendan O’Hara
