Orchestra

Many don’t realize that an orchestra is a team, a team is defined by Merriam-Webster as a group of people who work together. However, being apart of a team is much more important than that, it is a group of people you rely on, that push you to do better. Being apart of a group can requires you to do the same for others: be there for them, push them to be better. Orchestra is very similar to a sports team, in that there is no real “star” of the show.

Frank Merchlewitz of the Minnesota Orchestra I had the opportunity to listen to Frank Merchlewitz in my marketing principles class, MK217A, taught by Dr. Shelly McCallum-Ferguson.

The structure of the performance consisted of three different main pieces of music with different sections within them. In addition

On the afternoon of November 23rd, there was a performance by the USF Symphony Orchestra at the USF Concert Hall. Their performance, which was masterful from beginning to end, featured guest artists Jay Hunsberger on the tuba and Dolly Roberts on the harp. The performance began with Fanfare for the Common Man by Aaron Copland, a piece that started with a bang. The pang of a gong, and the beat of the drums, immediately captured and captivated the audience from the start. The slow build that led up

I recently attended the Kansas State University Orchestra conducted by Dr. David Littrell and graduate student Travis Hale. The orchestra featured four pieces, Orchestral Suite No. 3 in D Minor composed by Johann Sebastian Bach, Petite Suite composed by Claude Debussy arranged by Henri Busser, Overture to La Gazza Ladra (The Thieving Magpie) composed by Gioachino Rossini, and Overture to Le roi d’Ys composed by Edouard Lalo.

For my Cultural Event I had the opportunity to attend the UTEP symphony orchestra concert. This concert took place at the fine arts center in UTEP. I choosed to attend this event for a variety of different reasons. First of all, it was a fine arts event, and secondly, I love listening to classical music that orchestras typically perform. I was in orchestra for a number of years during my elementary and middle school education. Unfortunately, I stopped playing in High School in which I regret drastically

On Wednesday, May 27, 2015, DePaul Symphony Orchestra held their 39th Annual Spring concert at Orchestra Hall of Chicago Symphony Orchestra center from 8:00 PM to 9:00 PM. When I arrived, I noticed that most of the audiences were formally dressed, including kids, students, adults, and elders. It was really crowded in the room; I estimated that there were over 300 attendees. After taking my seat, I looked around the stage and saw a huge orchestra. All the musicians were dressed in black, and they

On Thursday, February 25th, the Allen High School Sinfonia orchestra performed a variety of fascinating pieces. The orchestras began the concert with “Concertino” by John Cacavas. The next piece that the orchestras performed was “Prelude for String Orchestra” by Gerald Finzi.
