• concert report Research Paper

  ...Chao Dong Dr. Matthew Altmire MUS 13 18, November 2013 Concert Report It is a cold November night. I attended a wind ensemble concert which was held at Sophia B. Clarke Theater in MT.SAC by the MT.SAC instrumental music program and lasted for one and half an hour, from 7:30pm to 9:00pm. I bought the concert ticket online and chose the seat in the orchestra. It was my first time to go to a concert and I enjoyed the pieces of the music so much. I arrived thirty minutes early before the concert starts. There were lots of people waited in front of the door. Some people were waiting on the line in front of the box office to buy the concert tickets. The crowd mainly consisted of college students, but virtually the age of the audience ranged from around 6 to 50. Almost everybody dressed warm and comfortable. Some of them are couple, and some of them are the performers’ parents. I went to the line and waited in front of the right door. I showed my student ID to the staff who wore the red sweater. She checked my ticket and suggested me to take a guild book. The theater is not very big, but it is very clean. I looked for my seat which is in row B and seat 16. Before I saw my seat, I thought I close the seat which is close the stage. Until I found my seat, I was so surprised that there’re only two meters from the stage. It was so close so that I cannot watch the whole perform group. I felt...

• Description of a concert as an operating system with inputs, transformation process and outputs Essay

  ...I have chosen is a particular service operation: the realisation of a music concert. As every other organisation that produce goods or services, it has a precise operating system, composed by a range of inputs, a transformation process and a final output. INPUTS - We must distinguish between two different kind of resources: transformed resources, that are the resources treated and transformed in some way, and transforming resources, that are the resources that act upon the transformed resources. The transformed resources are usually materials, information and customers; very often one of these is dominant. A concert, like many other service operation, is predominantly a customer processing operation. The main task of the musicians, and therefore also of the organisers, is to process audience in a way in which satisfies their public, maximising their enjoyment. There is of course a very high contact between audience and operation; in fact a concert is a typical example of an operation in which satisfaction is measured by customers perceptions, that are subjective. That means that is quite difficult to measure and control them. So, for example, the administrators of a music hall, following the music market sales, should try to have as a guest only the most successful musicians of the moment. The other transformed resources, together with audience, is the building converted or arranged for the concert. It can be a...

• Concert Critique Digital Electronic Classical Music Essay

  ...Nischal Shrestha Perspectives in Music: Music 204 Concert Critique 1 New Horizons Music Festival: New Video and Electronics October 26, 2014 On Friday, October 24, 2014, I attended sixteenth Festival of contemporary music “New Horizon Music Festival: New Video and Electronics which was held in Ophelia Paris Concert Hall, Truman State University, Kirksville, MO. The concert presented a variety of styles and formats of live electro-acoustic music and focused on the works and performers outside the local community. Initially, the scene fulfilled my expectations of a classical music concert. It was orderly and sophisticated and the majority of the audience was dressed formally to suit the occasion. The only explanation I can think of is the placement of the concert in the middle of a week full of my midterms. The concert started with giving special thanks to Mr. Robert Martin who directed and coordinated the concert. Similarly, thanks were given to program designer and assistors who played an active role in making the festival possible. Soon after acknowledging Mr. Martin, the presenter informed the audience about the artist whose work was going to be showcased. The concert featured live electro-acoustic music from composers and performers who have travelled all the way from Kansas City, Colorado, Alabama and Atlanta. All the performances consisted of a solo...

• My First Rock Concert Essay

  ...When I think of term rock and roll, I remember watching MTV and seeing Axel Rose scream into the microphone with his whinny voice the lyrics of “Paradise City” while dancing across the stage in his ridiculous outfits. My father would nostalgically reminisce of the epic guitar solos of the Eagles, Don Felder. My father being a teenager during the height of the rock music era afforded him certain opportunities to see the big hair bands perform live during their prime. When I was still a boy, he would tell me stories of concerts he had been to and rock legends he had met. I had always wanted to have such an experience and last month my wish was finally granted. I called some friends to come over and help me assemble a pool I had recently purchased. They countered my offer of manual labor with a free ticket to the Orion Rock Festival at Bater field in Atlantic City. The pool didn’t get assembled on that day. The roads that led to Atlantic City were in a state of gridlock, bumper to bumper, everyone in a rush to go nowhere. Finally, we made it to Bater field and too much of my dismay there was no parking. I looked down Albany Ave. and all I could see was an endless wall of automobiles that were trying to deny my long sought after coming of age experience. Twenty minutes, and two miles later, we found parking in an obscure side street parking lot. Once we started the hike back down the road we had just came, I realized that wearing flip-flops would be a decision I...

• Essay on Concert Report

  ...Concert Report The name of the concert that I attended was called “TCU Jazz Combos” and featured a variety of jazz compositions. This concert took place in the Pepsico Recital Hall on November 14, 2012 at 7:00 in the evening. The event was casual; however, I chose to wear khaki pants and a button down shirt because I was not certain as to what the dress code would be. The performers’ names and their respective instruments were Mike Korson- Saxophone, Garrett Wingfield- Saxophone, Luke Wingfield- Trumpet, Alex Neal- Guitar, Edo Frenkel- Piano, Will Gilstrap- Bass, Russell Wharton- Drums, and Tanner Webb- Trombone. During the concert they played various jazz compositions written by some of the very performers themselves. Several other pieces were more well known jazz compositions from internationally recognized artists. The concert itself was not very crowded, with pockets of individuals scattered throughout the audience. There was definitely interaction between the performers and the audience. I found this aspect of the jazz concert to be unique to other concerts. Jazz concerts are significantly less formal than classical orchestra concerts or even piano concerts in which applause is saved for the very end. In jazz concerts, after a solo it is considered appropriate to applaud, even during the middle of a piece. Having...

• Essay on Hoodie Allen Review

  ...Xavier 1 Joe Xavier Professor Hake English 1a 11/8/2012 A Night with Hoodie On the night of November 5th, one of my favorite rising hip hop stars, Hoodie Allen came to the Sacramento State campus. When I first heard of the concert I thought to myself, Hoodie is pretty famous why would he be performing at Sacramento State? Of course I had to see him, so I reached out to a bunch of my friends from my hometown to come with me on that fine night and I’ll tell you it was worth the ten dollar fee. Hoodie lit up the stage with his intense energy and his interaction with the crowd. Although being incredibly hot due to the mass amount of people being in the ballroom at the same time, it definitely will go down as one of the greatest concerts I have been to. The show was an amazing experience and the songs he performed were executed with great energy. It started when new up and coming artist named Sooshe opened up for him to get the crowd going with his personal DJ and techno vibe, but everyone was just anticipating Hoodie take the stage. Overall Sooshe did a great job getting everyone warmed up and even had the whole crowd chant “Hoodie, Hoodie” before he left the stage. Soon after the lights dimmed and Hoodie’s live band started playing one of his hit songs, “The Chase is On.” The whole crowd went crazy, escalating louder and louder as Hoodie emerged from backstage. Getting everyone to Xavier 2 put their arms in the air and wave them to...
