I am doing my concert review on Cirque de la Symphonie. The concert was conducted by Michael Palmer and accompined by the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra on Sunday, December 5, 2015. Michael Palmer Known as the one of the country's finest conductors who begin his career with the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra in 1967 where he was with them for ten years. The performance took place at the Atlanta Symphony hall at 3:00 p.m. There were many pieces performed and some of which I heard before and also by names that I learned in class. For example "Ave Maria" (Schubert), "Trepak"(Tchaikovsky), and "Dance of the Reed and Flutes"(Tchaikovsky). Being that it was my first time seeing a Orchestra I really enjoyed the concert . Not only was it just the Orchestra perfroming the Crique de la Symphonie cast was the main attraction bringing excitement to the audience. Before the concert I had never heard of Crique de la Symphonie. When they handed me the program and I started reading I seen that it said it is an "exciting production designed to bring the magic of Crique to the music hall." Also I found out that Criwue de la Symphonie is the only company in …show more content…

During the concert Tsarkov was also a mime and from start to end he was just entertaining to the whole audience from smaller children to adults. One thing that I remeber from the Orchestra perfroming this piece was the back section. To make the piece more realistic they shook bells to make it seem as if there was a sleigh and santa was coming. My reaction to it was joyful becuase it had the jolly feel and with Tsarkov juggling and the bells jingling it made the piece feel like it was a holiday

    One of the pieces the UC Davis Symphony Orchestra performed was Carnival Overture, op. 92, composed by Antonin Dvorak. The conductor at this concert was Christian Baldini and the main violinist was Shawyon Malek-Salehi. This piece was made in the Romantic era with an orchestra instrumentation. The genre for this piece is concert overture and has a sonata form in a similar formate to other sonata forms from the Romantic era, making it sound dramatic compared to the Classical era’s sonata era. The live performance was true to Dvorak’s original score, which took the traditional sonata form of the classical era and changed it to incorporate a common Romantic era sonata form. Although the live performance focused on the first violinist, it still maintained the dramatic atmosphere from the original piece by keeping the sonata form, rhythm, texture, and instrumentation.

    I chose to do my concert critique on Eric Clapton-MTV unplugged full concert-HQ January 16, 1992 at Bray Film Studios in Windsor, England. Eric Clapton is my favorite rock n roll singer which has a mixture of genres. The concert was inside and on stage. The audience was seated up close to the stage which made the atmosphere comfortable; Eric and the band showed much warmth and connected with the crowd it wasn’t like the band was untouchable.

    Music is virtually everywhere we go, no matter if it is background noise in a coffee shop or singing along while shopping for groceries, we can find music somewhere. The event I attended was the Flint Symphony Orchestra on October 8, 2016. I have never attended a symphony before so I was excited to go, especially since I had invited my friend to attend with me. For this event, I was already informed by my teacher that the symphony will be formal so we needed to look the part since others will be dressed fancy. This made me curious how this event will turn out. Walking past the ticket area and through the doors to the lobby made me feel instantly memorized at how grand it was on the inside. I went downstairs and there were a vast

  • Summary of the Ballet "Giselle"

    The element that stood out the most to me was how effectively the music and the footwork corresponded. The best examples of this are seen through the dancers solos. Especially Albrecht's solo, his feet glide on the stage at the same tempo as the music. Similarly, Giselle's graceful footwork is truly amazing. I really like the similarities between the choreographed footwork and the music, it makes Giselle seem much more elegant and beautiful. This also seems to make the work look more put together and in sync because the dancers are dancing in harmony with the orchestra. The choreography by itself is amazing. The footwork is rapid and intricate, however, at the same time it is delicate and graceful. The ballerina (Giselle) made it look very easy to do the choreography, when it rea...

I would not be able to comment on the performance of the orchestra. During the performance, I seen the audience were moving with the music, but I felt like that everyone seems knows more music than what I learned throughout this semester. After I went home and did some of the research on these music I finally understand why these people like to attend the orchestra concerto, it was because that every piece of music has a history behind it. The Los Angeles audience seemed to me to be people who know music and who will listen to something new in a respectful way. All the same, when the more familiar sounds of the last piece were heard, I could feel a little sense of relaxation and fun coming into the room.

    The concert was on March 13, 2014 at 12:30 pm the performers were Lisa Fujita, Brendan O’Donnell, Daniel Mitnitsky, Yannick Rafalimanana they performed five different Piano Quartet pieces. The first was a Piano Quartet No. 1 in C Minor, Op. 15 it was Allegro Molto Moderato, the next was III. Adagio and both of these pieces were written by Gabriel Faure. The next was a Piano Quartet in E-Flat Major, Op.47, called Sostenuto assai- Allegro ma non troppo this was written by Robert Schumann. Lastly there is the Piano Quartet in G-minor, K.493, I. Allegro, III. Allegretto and these two pieces were by W. A. Mozart. This was not the exact order and they did change a few thing like the way things would be played and they change the Quartet from E-Flat major to G-Minor because they said that it was difficult to play. By playing different types of music they offered us diverse experience. I really enjoyed the entire performance. Each of the Performers played a different instrument. Lisa Fujita played the violin, Brendan played the viola, Daniel played the cello and Yannick played the piano. Each of them played a very important role. Each of the performers looked calm and as if they knew what they were doing, they were dressed very formally but the audience was not dressed as formally due to the fact that it was during the school day and the event wasn’t a black tie event.

    On Tuesday, October 17, 2017, I attended a musical concert. This was the first time I had ever been to a concert and did not play. The concert was not what I expected. I assumed I was going to a symphony that featured a soloist clarinet; however, upon arrival I quickly realized that my previous assumptions were false. My experience was sort of a rollercoaster. One minute I was down and almost asleep; next I was laughing; then I was up and intrigued.

There were songs played that were written by famous jazz composers and songs played that were written by some of the performers themselves. This added to the excitement of the show.

  • The Symphony Orchestra Concert Analysis

    The first piece on the program was Polonaise from Eugene Onegin (1878). This piece is from the Romantic period composed by Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikavosky (1840-1893). Very short piece probably around six minutes. The variations and the interesting theme made this piece the most interesting among the other compositions despite the length of this piece, but it was amusing. The piece started with trumpets playing short high notes as an introductory, with the accompaniment of violins playing quick short notes. It sounds like if it was played in a major key, very cheerful and very fast like if the tempo is Vivace. Moreover, trumpets throughout the piece reinforce the harmony. Throughout the piece varies styles were used such as legato (smooth connected style).The texture of this piece is homophonic ( one line of real interest with accompaniment). The rhythm of the piece is really catchy, pretty much predictable; most of the piece variations are centered on the main theme, but it is very pleasing to the ears (consonant).

  • Claude Debussy’s La Mer: A Concert Review

    654 Words  | 2 Pages

    Claude Debussy’s La Mer is a very beautiful piece of music. I thought the concert was wonderfully done. The music sent chills down my spine and I was really able to just sit there and listen. One thing I would have changed is having the live streaming video of the orchestra members displayed on screen behind the orchestra. I found it a little distracting because I would find myself watching the musician without listening to the music. I would have liked the concert more if it had been earlier in the day also. Concert music is so peaceful in my opinion, at least usually in the first movement, that I sometimes become drowsy. I think I could have had a better experience if the concert had been at an earlier time because I was already feeling tired when it started. After hearing the music, it only added to my drowsiness. I have only been to a few classical music concerts but I would have to say this one was my favorite by far. The other two I attended when I was younger so that could also be influencing my opinion because I didn’t appreciate how amazing this music really is. We had great...

    Classical music takes a big importance in the western and other parts of the world history, being in a classical concert is part of the stage of life that nobody should skip. Classical music is beyond music, but art and psychology. An important classical music event was achieved at the Lincoln Center “Mostly Mozart”. It was a festival full of the three masters of the classical music; Joseph Haydn, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart and Ludwig Van Beethoven. During my visited, I was amazed with these composers’ pieces. In fact, three famous pieces were performed, such as Over the to Le nozze di Figaro (The Marriage of Figaro) from Mozart, Cello Concerto in C major, Hob. Vllb:1 by Haydn and Symphony #4 in B-flat major written by Beethoven.
