Concert Review

Last summer, my sister bought tickets to see a Celine Dion concert in Las Vegas, Nevada. Of course, we have to wear formal attire. The concert that we’re attending to was at Caesars Palace. There was a majority of white and European people who attended Celine Dion’s concert. Before the concert, everyone was supposed to find their own seat. The concert itself looked appealing because it had red drapes, colorful stage lights, and nice sound systems. As I look around, I saw a majority of old people and couples sitting together. The singer was born in Canada and she can also speak in French. I was a little bit disappointed because she didn’t invite any other singers. Celine Dion has a truly powerful voice that when she sings you get goose bumps. The concert had a lot of props which were used on stage while the singer was performing. We weren’t allowed to use our cameras during the performance. There were times when people will stand up from their seats and applause. There was also a time when Celine Dion cried on stage which made the whole audience cry. There were pictures of Celine Dion and her family on a slideshow. I wasn’t really a fan of Celine Dion, but ultimately she surprised me and her vocal performance led me with goose bumps! The concert experience made me realize of how open -minded I should be towards other singers. She sang a French song in the end that brought people to tears. I never really appreciated her music, but going to her concert and listening to her own voice gave me chills! Celine Dion is a legend because even though she’s old her voice still remains the same. The concert experience helped me become more open-minded. I am from Southeast Asia and listening to a singer from a different culture is an eye opener. The musical instruments that were performed during the concert were a microphone, a piano, a saxophone, and a trumpet. Celine Dion would sing and walk around the stage. It wasn’t a concert

    The opening act for her was an artist by the name of RAHBI, he was amazing. His vocal range and performance was out of this world, I had to meet him. Once the concert was over he was in the lobby doing a meet and greet while selling a few of his cd’s. When the crowd finally left I was able to make my move to meet him and ask a couple of questions. I told him how much I enjoyed his show and told him about what I wanted to do in the music industry, he gave me a little of advice and told me to add him on Facebook. I added him and he began inviting me to all of his…

    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.…

    The Washburn University Recital was held in the White Concert Hall. It featured 6 different ensembles, each having their own compositions. The program began with the euphonium horn with piano accompaniment. The second performance included the flute with piano accompaniment. The third performance included the tuba with piano accompaniment. The fourth performance was a male singer with accompaniment from the piano. The fifth performance was the euphonium horn with piano accompaniment. The last performance was an ensemble that included the flute, french horn, oboe, and two clarinets. I really enjoyed how eclectic the performances were, and the different styles of music kept my interest throughout every performance.…

    The Oglethorpe University Singers and the Oglethorpe Chorale performed the concert at Conant Performing Arts Center on Friday, November 1, 2015, at 8 pm. The concert setting was smaller than the other venues we visited for previous concerts. The room was semi-lit, and classmates filled the concert hall. The concert conventions were not surprising as we have attended other concerts, and the conventions were the same. The Oglethorpe Singer and the Oglethorpe Chorale performance was excellent, they were in sync, and everyone did great. It was my first concert, and I was very impressed because they sounded like professional musicians.…

    Each one of us belongs to many cultural groups that distinguish us as people. These groups influence our likes, dislikes, tastes, values, morals, and help to shape who we are as people. Cultural groups are not defined by geographical boundaries, we carry our culture with us where we go and can meet others in the same cultural groups as us a thousand miles away from home. Culture is all around us, it is not just in places that are “exotic”. When observing Rachel Wilkinson, it became evident that the cultural groups she is a part of make her who she is as a person. Being American, a Marylander, and a college student are just a few of the cultural groups Rachel belongs to. One way in which her cultural groups affect her tastes is through music. Rachel’s age group, religious affiliation, family, school, and hobbies are all cultural groups that have influenced her taste in musical styles.…

    On October 19, 2013 I sought out to listen to some classical music for my review for class. It was a pleasure to have found the Orlando Philharmonic Orchestra at the St. Luke’s Lutheran Church in Oviedo, FL, a part of St. Luke’s concert series of 2013-14 that has been held in the last nineteen years here in Oviedo, FL. This free event that’s held each year at St. Luke church holds about three hundred people in there sanctuary, everything in the décor speak to your imagination Lutheran church. It was very nice it reminded me of a small concert hall. The orchestra fill the whole area were the choir usually sit. Christopher Wilkins, he conductor along within a full orchestra and Rimma Bergeron–Langlois the violinist, who all played four great suites from the genius of Georges Bizet, the piece from L’Arlesienne, Carmen suite, and Carmen fantasies, and Symphony in C’ that took you back in time. This classical music from the romantic era was breath taking.…

    For the second time in my life I attended another jazz concert. On Wednesday, November 30, 2016 I went to the Morgy Craig Annual Memorial Jazz Scholarship Award Concert and it was put on by the Ball State Jazz Ensembles. The setting of the concert was at Sursa Hall, which sits on the corner of Riverside and McKinley Avenues, and is a beautiful concert hall that is brick on the outside and on the inside has wood paneling. The concert I found to be very incredible overall and twice as better as the first one which I did not find too impressing. This concert was undoubtedly exciting to anyone who attended in the way that every song played was in my opinion very energizing, but some better than the others and the concert had short, yet grammy winning solos. All of which compiled into a night that deemed unforgettable.…

    Compared to all the other concerts that I have gone to, that concert was a change in the atmosphere. I remember last month going to my sister’s Jazz concert. I remember walking in the theater a little bit late, but remember hearing the sound of the trumpets in the background. As soon as I walked in, I realized that it has totally different atmosphere from what my expectations were for the Jazz concerts. Unlike all the other concerts I attended, this concert intended for small audience, probably around a hundred people. Also, this jazz concert seemed very relaxed and comfortable. Most of people were dressed very casual, a lot of them were the kid’s parents and they were wearing jeans and shirts. But the musicians were dressed in suit and dress in all black. I remember that in a…

    We were able to attend this gala afterwards because we had VIP tickets, and I felt so overwhelmed by being surrounded by so much musical talent and affluence. I can’t even begin to imagine how much those tickets cost everyone who attended. But this soloist was there, and with absolutely no fear in my body, I ran up to her to tell her how beautiful she looked and sounded out there. I’m also positive that I said I wanted to be like her when I grew up, embarrassingly enough. She just laughed and said thank you and that was that, but that night gave me the determination to work so hard so that I, too, could make my Carnegie Hall debut one night.…

    Last Saturday, I attended the All-Region concert at Berkner. My family and I arrived 20 minutes late, but surprisingly came right on time to watch the beginning of the high school concert. In the end, I was surprised by how short the whole concert had felt. One minute I was hearing the orchestra perform and the next we were on our feet clapping. Now, as I try to actually remember the concert, the first piece was not as memorable as the second and then third. They played with energy and the endings were always emphasized, but I guess the middle to me lacked being the same uniqueness. The second song was short and pretty, and I can still remember the soli that the violas had, so that was amazing. Burning the piece, I was simultaneously laughing…
