Orchestra

On April 28, 2017, I attended the School of Music’s Atlanta Symphony Orchestra. The program last about two hours and had a ten minute intermission. This non ticketed event was held at Morgan Hall in the Bailey Performing Arts Center on Kennesaw State University’s Kennesaw campus. The program consisted of three unique musical pieces performed by the renowned Atlanta Symphony Orchestra. Before the concert began, I was able to observe the audience members outside of the entrance doors. Unlike the other

general historical evolution of the symphony orchestra from Haydn’s time at the Esterhazy court, to Stravinsky’s Rite of Spring. The symphony orchestra underwent considerable evolutions from the time of Haydn at the Esterhazy court to the time of Stravinsky's Rite of Spring. The symphony orchestra during the classical era consisted of fewer instruments and shorter pieces. Haydn, a composer of the romantic era, wrote his compositions for small orchestras and other musical ensembles. Composing for wealthy

classical and Western. The mix of traditional cowboy music and orchestral arrangement had the potential to highlight the strengths of the performers and genres; it was certainly interesting to hear songs typically performed solo being played with a full orchestra, but a number of red flags popped out immediately and ended up spoiling the experience. Poor planning and a failure to be conscious of cultural politics ultimately left a bad taste in my mouth. Factors unrelated to this intersection of genres – rehearsal

The wind instruments sound a crescendo chord and the first theme is outlined by the second horn, answered by clarinet, and then developed by full orchestra. The strings give out the second theme, which is briefly treated. In the closing section of the overture the first theme is heard in the horns, accompanied by violin passages. At the conclusion of the Allegro development the Adagio episode returns

from 5:00 PM until 7:00 PM I attended, “Follow the Drinking Gourd,” by Jonathon McNair at Rudder Theatre. The Brazos Valley Symphony Orchestra, the Marian Anderson String Quartet, and special guest narrator Greg Wise preformed three pieces.

school and the one teacher who played records in her room during quiet times. But this day was something special. My sister and I were asked to join a small group of teens to attend a concert of the Atlanta Symphony Youth Orchestra. The cousin of an attendee would play in the orchestra that year and I was thrilled to be attending. We got to our seats early so we could be sure we were in a good location. The instrumentalists warming up with different sounds and scales all playing at the same time was

Woolsey Hall On Saturday evening, the Yale Symphony Orchestra delivered its final performance of the fall in the cavernous Woolsey Hall, featuring guest conductor Andreas Stoehr and mezzo-soprano Janna Baty. While the concert’s title was full of alliteration (Beethoven, Berg, and Brahms), the music itself was devoid of repetition and predictability, with vast dynamic and melodic contrasts highlighting the performance. To begin the concert, the orchestra delivered a strong rendition of Beethoven’s “Coriolan

I went to the IUS orchestra. Originally, I had planned to go see the Louisville Orchestra when they were at IUS, but ended up being sick so I was unable to go. The orchestra played on November 20th in the early afternoon. I’ve been to an orchestra before, but it was Halloween themed so I wasn’t sure what exactly this one would be like. The orchestra I had been to before had skits before they started playing and everyone was in costumes. This was closer to a more typical orchestra than the one I had

The Atlanta Symphony Orchestra management model is progressive, critical, stabilitative. The Atlanta Symphony Orchestra model is progressive in the way they expanded the viewing of a symphony. They incorporated lyrics as well as a slide show. The management understood the decline in attendance to the Symphony and made a judgement to incorporate multiple dimensions of art to expand their audience. The Orchestra also saw the importance of progression with the community presence. To get different parts
