The Aspen Music Festival Contemporary Ensemble Program is a rare and unique opportunity to devote eight-weeks to the intensive study of contemporary music. The festival’s high-level of performance, interaction with living composers, and the outstanding faculty attract me to this program.

Earlier this year, I premiered Daniel Kellogg’s semi-staged opera Packer which tells the

he began having lessons at the age of 6 which later led to his first composition being published at age 7. By 1818 he was performing for other and writing his own compositions, and around 1826 his parents enrolled him in the Warsaw Conservatory of Music where he studied for three years under Polish composer Josef Elsner (Frederic). A few years later he moved to Vienna where he made his “performance debut” in 1829. What happened the following years in Vienna is

Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s novella, A Study in Scarlet, introduces us the story of Sherlock Holmes and Dr. John Watson when they first join forces and begin their friendship and business of solving crimes together. Not only that, but we also learn about Holmes playing the violin for the first time. Yet, this brings up an interesting point: why does he play the violin? Does playing the violin help Holmes in solving crimes? How does it aid him in his detective work? The main focus of these interrelated

Franz Schubert, one of my favorite classical composers, was born on 31 January 1797 in Vienna, Austria, which is a well known city for classic music. And he has 14 brothers and sisters, one of them was illegitimate, born in 1783 and nine of them were died in infancy. His father, Franz Theodor Schubert was a well-known teacher, and his school in Lichtental (ninth district in Vienna) had many students in attendance. Though he wasn’t even formally get his music trained, he passed on certain musical

Instead of the music being performed in churches, it was performed in concert halls or in the palace. Some of the most recognizable artists during that time were Mozart, Beethoven, and Hayden. A lesser known artist, Muzio Clementi, an Italian-born pianist, who was alive during 1752 to 1832 and lived most of this life in England during

emphasizes classical art, music, dance, etc. Bourdieu defined high cultural knowledge that ultimately redounds to the social advantage . To make his words strong enough I made my own research in one of the classical example that can prove the cultural gap between population of people in different society level.

Music defines people. Our generation uses music as a tool to get them through everyday life. Many students listen to music anytime they have a free moment. Sometimes this also means that they listen to music while doing schoolwork. My partner and I performed a study to find out if different genres of music affect 8th grade student's math accuracy. We tested three genres of music. The tested genres were rap, rock, and country. We thought that if we had 8th grade students listen to rock, rap, and country

This chapter begins but stating exactly what it is going to be talking about which is telling about music, its importance through theories and then giving evidence. I think what it doesn’t tell you is the valuable knowledge that you will be taking away from the words you read. I know I am not the only one in this but the main thing that I remember taking away from the Mozart Effect is that when you have your child listen to Mozart in utero then they would be smarter than if they had not listened
