The Musical Show At Madison Square Garden Or Barclays Center

It’s amazing to listen to musicians who do not normally play with each other come together and leave the audience in complete awe. That is exactly what happened on the day of Thursday November 26th 2014. The Bill Crothers Varsity Winds comprised of grade eleven and twelve students along with a few, talented grade tens went to listen to the Toronto Symphony Orchestra play. We travelled via a typical yellow school bus that took us to Roy Thomson Hall where we went right to the top level and took our seats. The seating seemed rather helpful because from a distance you could hear every instrument when you focused on it. It was beautiful. The band presented well with their “Penguin” like attire that was kind to the eyes. They appeared very organized,

When the concert first began, the three instrumentalists walked with energy despite their age. The first song, “Sonata I in G-Major Op. 2, Nr. 1” by Michel Blavet, was a Baroque Sonata. There were five movements and was played by the harpsichord, flute, and cello. All movements of the song were polyphonic because of the three instruments that had different parts and equal importance. In the first movement, I noticed that the flute tended to rise in pitch. In the second movement, I noticed that the melodies often repeated. Throughout the rest of the song the tempo changed from fast to slow and the flute would usually take the lead. On the last movement, the cello and the harpsichord

Watching Louis Armstrong’s live performance in Berlin during the year 1965 was a pleasure, especially because I am a great fan of his music. Throughout the concert in Berlin, Armstrong and his chamber orchestra played 13 different pieces. With the exception of Jewel Woods’ entrance on vocals for two songs, the makeup of the chamber orchestra did not change throughout the concert. As a result, the cello, clarinet, drums, piano, trombone, and trumpet remained vital parts of each song throughout the concert.

This song seemed to require the most work from the performers as it used a wide range of dynamics, pitches, and tempo. The last song of the evening, and probably my favorite (not just because it was the last), was “Folk Dances”. This song, just like the first, had a very festive feel to it. The upbeat tempo, lead by the flutes and clarinets, made the song very enjoyable to hear and also had a very happy feel to it, which, in my mind, made it a very appropriate closer. The song started with a great tempo but a relatively soft dynamic. This quickly changed about half way through the song when the dynamics picked up. The loud dynamics with the fast tempo at the end of the song had a very grandiose sound and left the audience with a great taste in their mouths.

The concert that I attended was a charity concert, which was organized in Boston at a local university there. The South Asian Student Union of Harvard University organized the concert. I happened to be in Boston and this particular concert was organized for benefit causes such as using the proceeds of the concert to fund a number of poverty alleviation projects in South Asia. The concert was organized in a rather big room, which had a very big podium, as well as at least 500 seats that had been placed in it. Therefore, the overall hall where this concert took place was a typical auditorium setting with seating and a stage at the front. The concert promoters talked about different cause benefits related to alleviation of poverty in South Asia and that’s why the concert was organized. The organizers also informed the audience that the musicians wore traditional clothing so that the audience members could also have a good insight and understanding of the South Asian culture. All of ticket revenues for this concert were then given to a number of charities which then would use those funds to assist the different poverty alleviation programs in the larger South Asian region.

The first performance consisted of a piano, flute and a cello. The piano was the first instrument to play and established the melody before the flute and cello came in. Next, the flutist started playing and was given a chance to take over the melody as the cellist set a steady tempo for them to follow.

The program was the American Music Journey, which was music that was played from when George Washington was president to modern day music. In the program there was a description of the ensemble, but no list of the pieces that they were going to be playing. The audience was pretty big, the auditorium was about three fourths filled. I think everyone enjoyed what was played that night. One of the bigger reactions was when the lights went out and the whole ensemble came out playing the theme to Pink Panther with lights on their instruments that would flash whenever they played a note. Once the lights started coming back on, you could see that all the members had on black sunglasses.

The concert I attended was called the Faculty and Student Recital, which took place in the Cisco Auditorium on April 11, 2017. The music that was on the program was mostly what is called “classical” music, as well as a Chinese Folk Song, an electronic composition, and variations on an Indian Tala. In the classical pieces, the instruments that were used were the violin, the piano, the cello, and the oboe. In the electronic composition, the computer was used to make music. In the Chinese Folk Song, the piccolo was used to imitate the unique timbre of a Chinese flute. In the Indian tala, drums from Ghana were used to imitate the rhythm and sound of Indian drums. The piano, the violin, the cello, and the piccolo all originate

When I first walked into the Cole Concert Hall I felt it was smaller than what I pictured. When I sat down I noticed how tall the ceiling was and I was quite impressed. Now on the stage it had this really tall white wall with curves in it. I thought they were just for design till someone opened the wall and started moving the piano onto the stage. The audience was a very small and most of them were dressed up properly for the event.

Standing on stage behind The Philadelphia Orchestra, I peered into the empty auditorium. The red velvet-lined seats were plush; the crown molding was elegant and classic. As I stood on the stage of Carnegie Hall’s Isaac Stern Auditorium, I wished I had smuggled my camera onstage to capture the scene from my vantage point as some of my fellow choristers of The Philadelphia Singers had done. Here I was, at the mere age of twenty-five, performing on the same stage as musical greats such as Enrico Caruso, Frank Sinatra, Ella Fitzgerald, Yo-Yo Ma, Joni Mitchell, and Itzhak Perelman. In the moment I felt scared and excited, and unsure I even deserved to be there.

The performance of “escape from Plato’s cave” was incredible I enjoyed listening to it I could imagine the cave and the people who were enslaved in there. The performance started with the brass instrument like the trumpet, trombone, sousaphone, and bass trombone. Then the woodwinds instruments like the flute, saxophone, clarinet trombone,

Never could I have thought that my first concert experience was going to be in a college class, performed by various composers of classical music. During the concert, I got to listen to four performances. First, the Oxycotton was played by Tim Sanchez. Second, Samantha Post played Acht Stucke on flute, followed by Nicholas Gledhill, playing Blues and Variations for Monk on horn. Finally, the CSU Graduate Brass Quintet performed a piece named Misty. In this essay, I will share my personal experience of the concert and discuss the different elements of music seen in the different performances.

This was my first time to attend the music concert, and I am very enjoyed both of them. The first one I went was in the David Geffen Hall at Lincoln Center. And the second one I went was Merkin Concert Hall at Kaufman Music Center. Compare with each music hall, I like the David Geffen Hall better not just because it’s big and having many seats, it is first buildings completed on the Lincoln Center site and home to one of its first resident organization. The New York Philharmonic is the oldest symphony orchestra in the U.S. Today. I registered for the student rush tickets, so many of the music tickets are just $16, which sounds nice to me and to have enjoyed more and more music concerts. Merkin Concert Hall is much smaller than the David Geffen Hall. However, I like their music event because most of them either having the lower price or free shows.

The performance that I attended was of the Ottawa Symphony Orchestra playing the Overture to The creatures of Prometheus, by Beethoven, the Concerto for Orchestra by Kodaly, and Harold in Italy, by Berlioz. The orchestra was conducted by David Currie, and I think that they played very well overall.

Chamber Music is a form of Classical Music that is composed of a small group of instruments. It's a little scale constitute from 8 to 10 performers. It is considered as an intimate performance that it is also called "the music of friends." The ensemble is a more knowns musical group of people who perform instruments and vocal music. In Classical Music, trio and quartet depending on the sound of instruments such as string, piano, and winds instruments which are the most common in this period of the music. String Quartet is composed of 2 violins, viola, and a cello. Also, Piano Trio is constituted of piano, violin, and cello. On October 29, 2017, I attended the "Afternoon of Chamber Music" on The Bernie Wohl Center which I enjoyed this presentation of these musicians for many reasons.
