Howard Goldstein, the music director for the orchestra and conductor for the night, currently works as a Professor of Music at Auburn University. Dr.Goldstein decided to perform three pieces composed by Wirén, Mozart, and Schubert.
To open the concert, the orchestra performed the Serenade for Strings Orchestra, composed by Dag Wirén. Dag Wirén was a composer from Sweden that lived during the modern age of music. The Serenade for Strings is considered one of Wirén’s most famous works.

    The in class concert with three performances that I attended on 15th of February was an very interesting experience for me as I have not been to a classical music concerts that often.

Nicholas Gledhill using the horn performed the third piece, Blues and Variations for Monk. The last piece, Misty, was performed by CSU Graduate Brass Quintet. In this paper, I am going to write about the performances that I heard and about the different music elements that they used in each performance.…

    Jiang’s candidacy, I will also draw attention to the significance of her appointment to the faculty of the Kneisel Hall Chamber Music School and Festival, a remarkable achievement that is indicative of the exceedingly high standing she enjoys as both a teacher and performer.

The Kneisel Hall faculty are recognized as being among the top teacher-performers in the country, holding teaching appointments at major conservatories and schools of music, such as the Juillard School, The Curtis Institute, and The Manhattan School of Music.

    This past Thursday I attended one of Harding’s student recitals. Curious as to what types and genres would be played, I strolled into the recital hall open-minded. The room was a bit smaller than I expected, but it served great for the fact that not a single performer had a microphone. They were all expected to project their voices in such a way that even the people in the back row could hear them. However, it was also important that they did not sound like they were yelling. I do believe each performer obtained these qualities in his or her performance. All melodies, excluding the solo piano movements, were homophonic. The stage was simple; it consisted only of a piano, the pianist, and the performer. The crispness and simplicity of the stage left me in wonder of what music was coming my way.…

    The St. Catharines Chamber Music Society was held at the Sean O’Sullivan Theatre of Brock University in Saint Catharines at 7:30 p.m., on Friday, 18th January, 2013. The four performers mostly showing on the stage, Xiaoling Li, Andrée Simard, Gordon Cleland, Karin Di Bella are violinist, violist, violoncellist, pianist respectively. Then, the soprano Charlotte Knight joined the performance to present us a wonderful and colorful music. The stage in the Sean O’Sullivan Theatre is surrounded by cambered audience seats with five parts separated by four aisles. At the center of the stage, a piano for the concert stands there quietly. When spotlight falls on the piano, the grace of classical music arises in the audience’s hearts, which makes them relaxed and expectant.…

    While I may enjoy certain areas of academic study at this point in time, I have not reached the level of passion that I have reached for my musical endeavors. I believe that this is because I have attached my academic interests exclusively to my time in school classrooms, while music has brought me to many different lively events and performances. When I heard about the numerous facilities and museums available at LSA, I recognized them as a way to physically and emotionally connect to material that was previously only…

    Recital Report Notes

    April 18th 2009 turned out to be a hectic day. Driving to Washington DC is rarely an easygoing occasion, however it only gets worse when you are attempting to see a recital and you are already late. After finally finding the National Gallery of Art we found a parking spot, entered the gallery, and found where the performances were being held. I had expected a sort of theater for which the concerts would be held, but in fact it was right in the middle of one of the garden atriums. The atmosphere was appropriate for the artwork around us, there were seats set up for the large groups of people who seemed to be there solely for the recitals, and other groups of people came and went as they pleased. Both recitals had a very relaxed, open, and comfortable feel. If one were to walk off and browse the artwork, the music would accompany the experience well. Many people were simply passing through, and there was a welcome feeling coming from the performers.…
