Illinois Philharmonic Orchestra Concert on October 14th featured three pieces; The Birds, Concerto for Violin, Cello, Piano, and Orchestra in C Major, and Symphony No.5. All the pieces were lovely and were entertaining to listen to. This concert also featured the Hersh Trio, comprised of Alexander Hersh on the cello, Stefan Hersh on the violin, and Paul Hersh on the piano, which the orchestra accompanied for one piece. The first piece played by the Illinois Philharmonic Orchestra was The Birds composed

grand the orchestra is and how loud the sound a grand orchestra can produce. Instantly it made me question the authenticity of the performanec because during this period the orchestra that's been use is a smaller orchestra. Furthermore, the way that they hold the sound is very different compares to the historical performance style that I'm used to. Futhermore, eventhough this is a great orchestra, I believe it's lacking in having more varieties of sound color because of how grand this orchestra is. On

attended the performances of the University Symphony Orchestra, with guest soloists Trio 180, comprised of Professors Miller on violin, Flyer on cello, and Leong on piano, along with having the pleasure of an intermissionary lecture about the possible survival of Beethoven and Schubert with the help of modern medicine led by Professor Blankenship from the School of Pharmacy. Before the first piece, Principal Violin Vogel led the tuning of the orchestra in the traditional B flat. Trio 180 then emerged

Orchestra Hall Camerata orchestra was special. It was like stepping into another world every time you walked through the door. No one hated anyone else, and it was always a safe place to be. I truly believe that everyone enjoyed themselves while they were in class. It wouldn’t have been that way without the people making up the class, or our teacher, Kent musser. We stepped off the bus into the cool winter air. Every student was dressed from head to toe in black, shivering as they carried their

separate parts, in which the movements complement each other's characteristics. The symphony orchestra features a myriad of orchestral instruments featuring the Brass, Woodwinds, Strings, and Percussion families. Furthermore, the various movements throughout the performance utilize various musical concepts that bring the music to life. Albeit, the complexity of Mahler’s symphony, the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra performed superbly throughout the performance. The five movements of Mahler's symphony

program that was given to me. Mr. Malina spoke about the composer Gabriel Faure Requiem for the soprano and baritone soloists, chorus and orchestra op.48. As the music began I notice that everyone in the orchestra was wearing black except for the soprano soloist (Ashely Milanese) who wear a beautiful turquoise blue. The stage was huge and the choir and orchestra took up the entire stage. I also notice a pipe organ in the middle of the stage. The two-soloist stood right next to the conductor when they

I recently got to hear a few works at the Dallas Symphony Orchestra. These compositions were written by Richard Wagner, Igor Stravinsky, and Antonin Dvorak. I had a wonderful time and a great experience. The pieces were played very well by the orchestra and Daniel Muller-Schott. Also, the conductor, Jun Markl, seemed very passionate and involved, and I liked the fact that he acknowledged when one of the performers did a good job. The concert was well received by the audience as a whole and myself

Orchestra used to be my favorite class. Key words: used to. It was a place where I could play my best and everyone would put in the same amount of work. Last year was the best year in all my orchestral experience and I’ve been in quite a few orchestras in the last six years. There has been many different playing environments, people, and music. In ninth grade orchestra, I was one out of five freshman to be selected into Battlefield’s top orchestra group, Philharmonia, which was pretty exciting. It

On Sunday February 5, I went to Southwest International Honor band and Orchestra festival in Atkinson recital hall in the Music center of New Mexico State University. The first band I was the Southwest orchestra with students from all over New Mexico and Ciudad Juarez. Their conductor for the band was GRAMMY research award winner Erik Johnson. The band is did go in order of the program and started off with different piece not listed on the program. But the way they start was amazing for just younger
