Concert Experience Essay

On December 2nd, 2017, I attended a concert performed by the Diablo Valley College Philharmonic Orchestra. The concert, performed at the Diablo Valley College Performing Arts Center, was called A Classical British Invasion and it featured pieces that were either written by British people or were inspired by them. Since I have only listened to professional orchestras for previous concert reports, I decided to attend a college orchestra, hoping to see the differences between a professional orchestra

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

GIMLET dreamed that if she did not see a concert last night she would become a type of liquid, therefore my friends Mr. Wonderful, Big, Gimlet and I went to see Keith Jarrett play a piano concert at the Irvine Concert Hall in Irvine last night. It was such a good concert! Keith Jarrett is a Negro who plays the piano. I very much enjoy seeing Negroes perform in all areas of the performing arts. I feel they are a talented and delightful race of performers, who are often very entertaining. I

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. Something about watching kids in their teens playing their music with such passion made me so passionate, the kids in the audience too dancing, crowd surfing

Concert Report #2 I went to the “Mark Flood: Greatest Hits” concert on May 5, 16. The performance is presented in the Contemporary Arts Museum, Houston. The genre of the concert was Saxophone Quartet and I believed the music is from Contemporary Era. There was four pieces, which composed by four different composers were performed. They started by the "Walk the Walk" by Michael Daugherty, I liked the beginning piece because my mood for this piece was happy and joyful. The beat was powerful and made

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

could pick one that makes me smile every time I look back onto it. It would be the first concert I ever went to. It was not only my first time hearing my favorite band live, but it was also my first time listening to live music. On top of the already intense experience, I had learned something very important that day. Through the generosity of a very kind woman, I was able to experience my very first concert. I learned that Generosity pushes beyond simple gestures and acts of kindness. It can leave

sister, and I, went to go attend a live concert because I had never viewed one before. Although, both my sister, and father had seen many concerts before me (thank you my beloved family for leaving me alone with no form of entertainment, every time you left for a concert). We planned to see the band Blink182, one of my family’s favorite punk rock bands, in Maine. There are three main parts to this wonderful journey, it begins with the drive, then the actual concert, and finally the drive back, which were

Carlos Santana once said, “Just as Jesus created wine from water, we humans are capable of transmuting emotion into music." After attending this concert and listening to the many different types of music and incredible instrumentation that accompanied it, I believe this quote accurately describes each song the show contained. The concert took place at the Royal Albert Hall in London and lasted roughly around an hour. Throughout the performance the cast completed five songs ranging from soft and sweet

writing about a concert that I recently attended. On this past Saturday, I traveled to Monroe, LA to attend a Mother’s Day blues concert. At the concert we had table seats on the floor. The area where I was seated, someone decided to buy us drinks. The reason I enjoyed the concert so much was because it was a great view. I didn’t have to struggle to see the performers on stage. Also, some of the performers got off stage and came into the area where we were seated. Being at the concert listening
