before the concert began. I have been to a couple of classical concerts, and typically it is much quieter before the concert begins. When the concert began, the audience was very enthusiastic about the players and the music that they would be playing. Throughout the entire concert, there was a lot of coughing and whisper throughout the auditorium. Also, between each movement, the audience applauded. This is typically not a feature of other classical concerts I have been to. Classical concerts are usually
attended the Margaret Miller Viola concert in the Organ Recital Hall. The first thing that caught my eye as I entered the venue was the huge organ in the back of the stage. It was my first time ever seeing an instrument that big, yet alone seeing an organ, it was quite fascinating. My thoughts entering the recital hall was that the concert was going to take quite some time, and have at least more than twenty five pieces of music, but the virtuoso series concert consisted of a total of sixteen pieces
wholly unique space in the classical guitar world. His distinctive performances, always opening with an improvisation and including in-the-moment edits to both his pieces and those of other composers, set him apart from other classically trained guitarists who often live in reverence to the score. Moreover, his diverse creative output, both original compositions and arrangements, and unmistakable musical voice helped to expand and enhance the repertoire for the classical guitar.

Friday September 18th, with Anna Grabowski. Going with her made the concert so much more enjoyable. When we first arrived in downtown Indianapolis you could immediately tell it was busy. Later we found out multiple festivals were going on in circle center. This caused an issue with parking and we ended up being a little late to the concert but because of this we were able to take to an usher who gave us some great info on the concert. Then both Anna and had to watch most of the first half from downstairs
It has been 3 years since I last attended a symphony orchestra concert. What makes this concert experience different from my previous ones is that it was an outdoor concert. Presented by Bosch, Symphony in the Park was held in celebration of Singapore’s 50th anniversary. Featuring the NUS Symphony Orchestra, it was a straightforward and sincere attempt to bring the audience to momentarily relinquish their troubles in modern society and simply indulge themselves in familiar tunes of the yesteryears
The position of classical music seems to be not as important as that in the past when it comes to twenty-first century. The passage discusses about the influence of modern technology and also immediate availability of music. High art and low art are the most contrasting concerns between musical world of today and that of the nineteenth century. Furthermore, the passage mentioned that music industry has relocated classic music that it makes profits in present-day customer culture. In the past
an extravagant music library with genres from rap to classical music. Most of the music that I choose to listen to is pop music that I’ve heard on the radio; however, I do listen to alternative rock, and I will occasionally listen to music from the seventies and eighties. When I use my cellphone for music, I am normally at home and wearing headphones. This way, I can listen to my music while not disturbing anyone else. Another large portion of how I listen to music is through the radio. While I have
So instead of going to a live concert, my instructer decided to watch the video of the following link. It's a recital video of a legendary pianist called Vladimir Horowitz. The first performance was a sound of beautiful. The pianist enthusiastically began playing the first part of piece. It was slow and quiet tempo, had relatively a monotonous rhythm and had variety of pitches. It was a perfect piece at the start of recital. This first piece was sufficient to feel how piano’s sound was beautiful and
Nutcracker Suite, Op 71a” by Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky and more specifically, the movement titled “Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy.” I picked the Nutcracker specifically because, to be honest, although I am not extremely familiar with a variety of classical songs, when I listened to “Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy,” I began to get nostalgic because it reminded me of when I was a little kid who used to attend my sister’s ballet performances. At the time, it seemed boring and I did not pay much attention
