Concert Essay

The La Jolla Symphony concert was held on a warm Saturday night, May 5th, and it was definitely a memorable experience, since it was the first symphony concert that I have ever attended in my life.

Each piece was incredibly unique in their own way and did associate themselves together and also to many of the concepts

The music performance I went to see was the University Symphony Halloween concert held in Comstock Concert Hall. This was the first time I had been to a symphony production and was eager to see what was in store. The show started off with each part of the orchestra introducing themselves in different costumes and skits. For example, the cellos were dressed in camouflage and the tubas were dressed as sheep. After a long introduction the lights dimmed and the show started. Attending this performance

a bang. The first song that Azure, the women’s jazz and pop a cappella group, performed was the popular tune Tainted Love. Even though they've performed this song at multiple other concerts, this rendition was no disappointment. Azure also sang The Sound of Silence, another hit that they've sang at previous concerts. After these two selections, they performed two Christmas carols. It was obvious that these were far less prepared than the other two pieces. There were numerous minor issues in both

Yesterday, I watched the concert band rehearse for their district concert which took place later that night. As a whole, the music that they selected was well suited to the capability of the musicians. However, the Liberty Bell March was executed much better in comparison to Star Wars: The March, as the former appeared to be slightly easier for the band to play. For instance, the Liberty Bell March by Sousa was the first piece that the musicians performed. This song from the late romantic period

beloved youth of doing on a daily basis: not listening. I was tricked into loving rap music by participating in my favorite activity – one that steals my time and money – going to concerts. There, I witnessed the power of the rap narrative and its power when given to a live, reactive audience. I went to my first concert when I was 16. I had begged my mom to take me to Sarah McLachlan, a chanteuse of glorious pop melodies and soprano range. The show itself was powerful and enchanting, and I had

In September 2001, two 30th Anniversary concerts were held at Madison Square Garden to mark the singer's 30th year as a solo artist. Jackson appeared onstage alongside his brothers for the first time since 1984. The show also featured performances by Mýa, Usher, Whitney Houston, NSYNC, Destiny's Child, Monica, Luther Vandross, and Slash, among other artists.[221] The second of the two shows took place the night before the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks.[222] After 9/11, Jackson helped organize

people? Well I had to at my music teachers guitar concert. It was a big challenge I faced. I was really frightened because there was a lot of people and I was worried that I would mess up. In fact I was so frightened that my shirt was all wet and my hands were shaking. No matter what I did I couldn't calm myself down. From this I learned that I had stage fright, but I was still brave enough to face it. Somewhere in June, I was at the guitar concert, waiting in the seating area while some other students

Concerts of any form are my version of a great escape. They provide a reality where everyone can become anyone they want to be for the allotted amount of time. There is no hierarchy that requires the audience to adjust accordingly. There is only magic, imagination and wonder. Similar in this way to all types of concerts and festivals is makeup. In makeup, ones face is a canvas that offers itself to create something beautiful. Just as the magical atmosphere is something greater than the musician

and lights flashing everywhere. That describes the exact moment I realized I want to do music. I was 8 years old and this was all foreign for me, I have never experienced anything like that. I knew what concerts where and seen videos of big ones, but if I was never introduced to local band concerts my life would have not been the same today.
