IntroductionThe Orchestra Concert That I Had
Introduction
The orchestra concert that I had watched and enjoyed was the school concert, which has performed at 25th October 2014, 12:30 pm. The concert was conducted at PERTRONAS Twin Tower (KLCC), MPO hall, which also known as Malaysian Phiharmonic Orchestra. The school concert has conducted for nearly 1 hour, which ends around 1:30 pm. The title for this concert was “The Mysterious Maestro”. There were total of twelve pieces that have performed by the orchestra.
The first piece was named “Overture from The Force of Destiny”, the second piece was “Bachianis Brasileiras No.5 - Aria”, and the third piece was “Mediatation from Thais”. Next, the fourth piece was “Hannah’s song”, the fifth piece was “Estudiantina”, and the sixth piece was “Caucasian Sketches No.1 from Procession of the Sardars”. Then, the seventh piece was “Danse Macabre Op.40”, the eighth piece was “Frantic Forest Frenzy” and the ninth piece was “Les Preludes”. Last, the tenth piece was “Perfect Music-Breaking the Spell”, the eleventh pieces was “Symphony No.5-First Movement” and the last piece was “Ode to joy from Symphony No.9-Fourth Movement”. For the visual effects on the concert, the hall lighting was bright before the start of the concert. After that, lighting only focused on the stages of the hall. According to chief conductor of the St Peterburg Philharmonic Orchestra, the hall design has incorporated the acoustical devices to improve the sound and music quality (Yuri, 2013). For the arrangement of the stage development, it is similar to the standard layout of orchestra, the string instrument at the first session which is nearest to the audience. Violin is the right most of the string instrument session, viola in the middle and cello was at the leftmost. Then, harp was at behind of violin and double bass was at behind of cello. Second session is woodwind instrument, third session is brass instrument, and the last session is percussion. (Think Quest, 2010).

    The Concert (A Musical Party) is an oil on canvas, Baroque period painting completed by the Flemish painter Theodoor Rombouts circa 1620. The work portrays a group of five costumed musicians around a table covered with a Persian tapestry rug. Of the five performers, there are four men and one woman. The four men are playing various instruments, the woman appearing to be the vocalist. The play of deep shadows and bright highlights present in this painting make the overall use of chiaroscuro more pronounced, reflecting the strong influence of Caravaggio, a revolutionary Italian painter who Rombouts studied under. Caravaggio’s works, which combine the realistic rendering of the human state with a dramatic use of lighting, had a formative effect…

    The concert that I chose to attend was the Gramophone award winners, Pavel Haas Quartet. Veronika Jaruskova, Marek Zxiebel, Pavel Nikl, and Peter Jarusek were the musicians. They were all very talented. Their movements were amazing and no matter the difficulty, they stayed in time with one another. The songs they chose to perform were Quartet No. 1 in B minor, Op. 50 by the composer Prokofiev, Quartet No. 11 in F minor, Op. 95 “Serioso” by Beethoven, and Quartet No. 5, Sz. 102 by Bartok. All these pieces were amazing both in difficulty and sound.…

    I was recently given the privilege of playing in the pit orchestra for the musical at my high school. I loved the experience of meeting other members of the music department, sharing many cookies. Challenging myself by playing music that I didn’t usually played exposed me to different music that went from five sharps to one flat. Because of my orchestral experience, I will audition for the Wellesley-Brandeis Orchestra. Having experienced a kind of merging between groups, I was able to meet different people (the band as well as the conductor for band), learning how to play a different style as well as learning how to communicate differently than that I was used to. Through the Wellesley-Brandeis Orchestra, I will have the opportunity to meet…

    It was Monday, November 17 cold and snowy outside Ophelia Paris Concert Hall, Truman State University but inside it was all warmth and light as Elaine AuBuchon started the Double Reed Recital. Having not been to any actual classical music concert, I was excited to hear the talent that we have in our campus. I took it upon myself to go with an open mind, without having any previous predispositions that would affect my reaction to the concert. I just wanted to go in there, not knowing anything about the concert, and see what I hear in the music. This concert was open to anyone and free admission. The program presented a variety of styles…

    I attended The Works of Thomas Root on Tuesday, March 24th. It featured the Weber State University wind ensemble and symphonic band as well as the WSU Band Alumni. There were many pieces conducted and created by Thomas Root. Most pieces were still unpublished but they were wonderful nonetheless. He also had pieces that were dedicated to people that he had come to meet throughout his life, and a piece was dedicated to his own mother.…

    Music rings out from the center stage and bounces around the auditorium elegantly as if it were a metaphysical dancer. The symphonic grace entices all of those who are in range to hear it which is why Rod Hoffman sits in the second row of the middle aisle three seats deep from the left side of the orchestra. Completely submerged in the melody he is enveloped by a sort of transcending feeling. Words are rarely able to describe the joy that he feels by attending the concerts of the Colorado Symphony Orchestra. It takes him many weeks to find a means to culminate all of his emotions that he felt from the performance into a review that can properly display not only his reaction but still give an oversight that convinces others to give the orchestra…

    I saw The Santa Fe Big Band 22nd, Annual Evening of Jazz Concert. The band was dressed up all matching. The men were wearing black dress shirts and pants, with dress shoes. The women wearing black formal dresses with red shoes. They all looked very professional and when they started playing it immediately took me back to the 1930s, the big band era.…

    On February 19, 2015, Jared Blum at the Sacramento State University had his first concert of the spring semester featuring plenty of special guests. This concert was presented as partial fulfillment of the requirements that he needs for his Bachelor of Music degree in Jazz Studies. Jared Blum, with his special guests (Megan Spurlock on the clarinet, Morgan Childres on the trombone, the Jazz Combo, the Jazz Essemble, and other special guests), collectively performed nine pieces along with a medley that compromised of three songs at the concert. Prior to taking this course, one of the first questions that I asked myself was “what do I know about jazz?” I have always consociated jazz music with the African American culture, mainly because of the general idea of how jazz music can give off a “bluesy” rhythm. Little did I know how diverse jazz music can be. “Creole Belles”, “Creep”, and the medley that compromised of “When you’re smiling”, “Swing that music”, and “Shiek of Araby” are the pieces that allowed the audience, including myself, to experience the diversity of jazz music.…

    Monique attended the Swing class at Ambient Studio on March 14, 2009 to heard and dance to the rhythms and sounds of the Etowah Jazz Society. The concert was from 9pm to 12 am in the morning. There look is like a big band but they have a swing feel to them. The bands whole persona is that of a big band that you would see on a dance television show back in the older days. There sound was very mellow and not loud at all. After Monique talked to a couple of the members in the band I found out that there influences on music where commonly set around the swing era, big band jazz, and Natalie Cole. The band is comprised of 18 members who all have different skill levels. When watching the band it looked as though the brass section was more skilled…

    Orchestra Concert Review

    The first song I heard is Romeo and Juliet Fantasy Overture, composed by Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky. It is written at 1880, a romantic period music. It is a sonata allegro form, which consist an exposition, a development, and a recapitulation. However, it is hard for me to find connection between three parts when I was at the concert. Moreover, I did not realize there is three parts until I did the research after the concert. I was really into music and picturing the Romeo and Julia scene in my mind when I heard the symphony playing this piece.…

    When I was eight years old, my mom took me to my first formal concert in Carnegie Hall to hear the Cincinnati Pops play because her office got her and her colleague VIP tickets for Christmas. I didn’t think I’d enjoy it all that much because I was never a fan of classical music at that age, but I loved every second of that concert, or the fact that I was in New York City. That’s still debatable.…
