Concert Review: Bob Marley By Brock Oler Why do musicians make music? There’s obviously no simple answer. Music can be used for such an assortment of actions‚ that picking one stimulus could never fully be accurate. A soothing melody hummed to an upset child could likely be used for comfort or relaxation; music in this form targets the subconscious. Often‚ however‚ the tune of a song is much less important than the words that create it; certain musicians use their lyrics to tell a story or

The concert that I reviewed is the Guitar Studio Recital featuring The Oakland University Saxo-Ensemble. I love listening to guitars so I figured that this was the perfect concert for me. It was very creative because the Saxophone players were dressed up as zombies and the composer was dressed up as death and he used his scythe to compose the ensemble. Halloween‚ being one of my favorite holidays‚ this was a nice surprise. I am glad that I attended this concert because it the pieces were not too

On Friday February 10‚ 2017‚ I attended the astounding North Indian Drum Tabla Concert at University of California‚ Riverside in the Arts Building. The venue wasn’t big or small‚ but it has a roomy stage with one hundred and fifty seats. The setup consisted of three carpets with three tablas‚ which are membranophones that have one big drum and one small drum‚ one harmonium‚ which is a chordophone that is a tiny organ‚ and many microphones on the stage. The ensemble included Abhiman Kaushal‚ director

While listening to a radio station dedicated to classical music‚ my grandpa heard about a concert starring Kirk Muspratt and the New Philharmonic orchestra. He had been a long-time supporter and contributor to the orchestra and loved the conductor‚ so he wanted me to share his experiences as well. The New Philharmonic really is not the newest orchestra; it was founded 40 years ago with only 29 musicians who practiced in worn-down buildings. Originally founded to be a chamber group‚ the NP eventually

No. 1 in D‚ "Titan‚" written by Gustav Mahler. The concert was held in the Dallas Symphony Orchestra Center downtown on September 24‚ 2009. The conductor of this performance was named Jaap van Zweden‚ and the first part of the show featured a cello soloist named Nina Kotova. Although this was my first experience going to a symphony performance‚ overall I found the concert to be surprisingly entertaining and enjoyable. As I entered the concert hall I was overwhelmed by how large the building was

Unfortunately‚ I miss places the ticket so I attached the order confirmation instead as proof that I really went. The concert took place in the Music Recital Hall and I would say it was a pretty decent turn out. The wide range of the diverse crowd seemed to enjoy the music performed before us because after the sets it seemed like some people were clapping and showing support. The audience in the concert had a wide range of ethnicity and social class. Some guests attending were friends or family of those preforming

The pops concert at Sartell High School took place at 7:30 p.m. in the auditorium‚ and the concert band performed four pieces. The first song played was Pippin. At the beginning of the song not everyone was playing the same dynamic‚ but when it got to the first transition everyone was balanced. After there was a new melody‚ there were occasional parts when one section stood out more. Those sections eventually fixed their dynamic. The next dynamic that could have been fixed was‚ the trumpets

I had the full experience right inside my dorm room. The webcast was a really interesting experience that I enjoyed. I think I may have even appreciated it more than the real thing. Although you cannot replace getting dressed up and going to a concert‚ I liked this webcast because the different camera angles provided footage of everyone playing their instrument and if I had been in a seat I would have been stuck looking at the same few people the whole performance.. For example‚ the conductor

an enormous white screen‚ and there was music playing while we waiting for Kid Cudi to make his entrance. Once the lights turned down‚ the crowd grew quiet in anticipation. Cudi began to talk to us from backstage‚ telling us his rules about the concert: no fighting‚ no throwing things on stage‚ etc. Although this ruined the mood a bit‚ everyone was still waiting for something amazing to happen. Cudi occasionally had to remind the audience of the rules‚ his fans nevertheless adored him when he eventually
