Recommended: Student concert reviews

The concert that I attended was “A Dalton State of Mind” concert that was held on the main campus of Dalton State College. I am not sure what the exact type of concert this would be classified as, but I would classify this concert as a mixture of different clubs/ groups of local and campus talent merged together. The concert was originally supposed to be performed at the quad, but due to the uncertainty of the weather the concert was moved inside of the gymnasium. Since the concert was moved into the gymnasium the sound was unpleasant and sometimes hard to hear. The reason for this was because the performers were confined into a small space, and the sound waves bounced off of all the walls. In turn the sound was not able to travel up to where Although there were mainly college students in attendance there were also a vast amount of family and friends of the performers. This concert consisted of a wide range of music from military, British, and recreational music. The purpose of this concert was for locals from our surrounding area to come visit the college and show off their lovely talent for the students and staff of Dalton State College. All the groups performing were very professional and showed a great deal of respect for the other performers during their performances. On each performer 's face the audience could see the passion and hard work that the performers put into the work they do. The two musical elements I enjoyed were the melody and the timbre of the songs played at the concert. Each song had a distinct melody and when combined with the timbre of the different instruments made for a great concert. At certain moments the songs would become softer in sound when the flutes began to play and then became loud in sound when the tubas began. This indicated to me as the listener a change in the emotion of the song. So with the different melodies of songs and timbres of songs, the songs become like an up and down roller coaster ride. Although I am not a fan of roller coasters, I enjoyed the roller coaster ride that concert brought on that

    The first song played was from a genre that I had previously taken a test on, Sonata. The musicians played the song by the book. There were three movements and polyphonic texture. It was even fast and jerky. Nonetheless, this is the part where my rollercoaster was going down. In my opinion it was boring. Although very well played, the song itself did not interest me. I did not like the roadrunner, coyote essence of the song. The piano accompaniment would sometimes play the melody and let the clarinet follow and then they would switch. This to me seemed force instead of like the Sonatas that I listened to in class. However, apart from the musical aspect of the first piece there was a certain intensity expressed by the performers. I had never seen a

    Not having been to many concerts in my life, I did not know what to expect when I went to see Lynyrd Skynyrd in concert recently. I had seen Celine Dion in concert several years ago and was very impressed by her beautiful stage set up, the infallible theatrics of her performers and the wardrobe changes. I had expected the Lynyrd Skynyrd concert to be similar, but it was nothing like that at all especially the environment. I learned that not all concerts are created equal.

  • Different Groups in the Concert: An Observational Essay

    A couple of months ago, I went to a concert up in Denver. The band that played was called dada. They are a three-man pop rock band that have been playing since their first album was released in 1992. The band has a small following, but the amphitheater still was still quite full by the time the band started playing. Before this concert, I had been to a couple others in the past with bands of a similar type playing in a similar setting to that of the amphitheater I found myself in a couple of months ago. After going to the dada concert, I noticed there was an interesting pattern of where different people sat or stood at these concerts. This pattern divided people up by their social rank, age, and class. There were three different areas to this pattern: the people standing in the front at the stage, the people standing in the middle of the theater, and the people sitting in the back.

    The concert venue was a Methodist church, as I previously stated, however the church was round because they also use it as a synagogue and a mosque. Due to the size of the church, the performers were only a few feet away from the audience. This intimate, and almost informal, setting seemed to allow the concert goers to connect more than if it were in a concert hall. Most of the audience were older adults, a few young adults, and one small child in a stroller. Before Trio Da Kali performed, there was an opening act. Kinobe opened the show by playing many instruments,

    ...band played. The concert was great, and I liked the Wind Ensemble, and Orchestra the best. As a whole, the all the groups in the concert played musically, and they all seemed prepared. Overall, I felt less nervous during this concert, compared to our previous one. Also, the entire concert could be shorter, as some pieces were very lengthy, and many people were tired, so they could not really hear and understand how good the groups played. A couple of recommendations our next concert, is maybe shortening the length of concert, or maybe changing when we have our intermission. We could have it right before the Wind Ensemble plays, because they usually have the longest set. This could help, because our audience would be fresher for the last band, and will be able to really enjoy the Wind Ensemble.

    Over this semester, I attended two concerts. The first concert I went to was a performance done by the Swedish band Graveyard at the 9:30 club in DC. The second concert that I went to was at the George Mason Center for Performing Arts. This concert was a jazz competition between bands call The Battle of the Big Bands. Both concerts were performed very well and kept the audience, myself included, very entertained throughout the entire show. In this paper, I will be discussing each individual show in depth, and then continuing on to compare the two concerts.

    During the concert the pianist, drummer and saxophonist did a great job, making the rhythm unforgettable. One of the songs that was performed was "Wrapped around your fingers" it contained a romantic melody. While the piano and saxophone then alternated the rhythm, as the passion of the song was motivating everyone to fall into the rhythm of it. The melody which was steady seemed to get faster like a heartbeat by the climax of the song. The sounds were increasingly getting louder until all instruments met at the top with a ban...

    The way the different voice pitches would come together to sing the same piece, but you were still able to distinguish who was who through all the voices was just simply amazing. I just couldn’t help but smile though every chorus performance. In “The trumpet shall sound,” the sound of the trumpet was just so clear and clean that it fit perfectly with the performance of the soloist. The conductor did an impressive job leading not only his orchestra but also his chorus and solo performers. His rhythm and style seemed to help every movement seem smooth and in

    I attended the Jazz Ensembles Concert on Wednesday, September the 30th at the Griffin Concert Hall. The show was divided into two sections, Jazz Ensembles II which was directed by Will Swindler and Jazz Ensembles I which was directed by Peter Sommer. The music in the both shows were inspired by the work of the bandleader of Jazz orchestras that is Duke Ellington. The concert hall was filled with people following their passion for Jazz, expecting a state of the art performance by the ensembles whom did not disappoint by carrying an outstanding display throughout the show. The atmosphere at the hall was extraordinary as the attendance truly unveiled their excitement and love for jazz with continuous support and applause of every piece of art. It was the first time for me to attend a Jazz concert and I enjoyed it a lot, both ensembles made my experience unforgettable and made me appreciate the jazz genre a lot more.

    My mother and I had sat down an order some appetizers and we continued listening to the music. It was very peaceful with the music playing and the atmosphere. As I cotinued to lisetning and watching them I could see they were very engaged in the rythem. They were not just playing but they were active in the music. You could tell they were very passionate about it. It was comforting sitting down and listening to the music. There were hardly any people there and I knew it was good chance to personally talk to the band members when they had an intermission. I had listened to three different songs before I spoke to them. “Beautiful Love”, “Misty” and You’d Be So Nice to Come Home to” I was able to gather this information when I was interviewing them. Misty was very soft and had a slow tiempo to it. While the other two were a faster tiempo with a louder volume to them but were not so overwhelming. The saxophone player was Pierre, a French name he told me. The upright bass player was Mike and Chris was on the piano. The songs that we had listened to were mainly jazz standards. The only vocals sang were by Pierre on “Misty”. The tone quality was easily distinguished throughout the songs. The piano was heavily involved in all three songs meaning order of the soloists Chris (piano), Mike, (upright bass), and Pierre

    The environment was quite welcoming, and people felt comfortable with each other. This allowed for the audience to fully enjoy the music without any disruptions. Another factor that made me enjoy the jazz festival was the feel-good music that was played at the festival which served to encourage the audience to get up and dance. Thus, diversification is a significant lesson to grasp when observing music because all music has different origin from another genre and acknowledging this gives the person to become more diverse as an individual.

    It was on September 9th at the Austin360 Amphitheater and it had started a seven that night. At this concert was a mixture of artist such as Chris Brown, Omarion, Kid Ink, Fetty Wap, French Montana, and Teyana Taylor. The concert was called One Hell of a Nite Tour. From the many different topics we have learned in Sociology I noticed that there was only a specific group of people at this concert. When I had looked around I noticed that it was only people within the age range of about 18-25. Most of the people I talked to there were college students. It was a mixture of all races but it was diverse. You could easily tell who the wealthy was and who did not have much money. The wealthy people sat up close to the performers, while the ones with not much money was on the

    I attended a concert that was a piano trio. The instruments were obviously a piano, a cello, and a violin. The concert was done by two adults and one student. The student played the cello. The concert was held here on Oklahoma State's campus at Willard Hall. The room it was held in was a relatively small room. It wasn't a real concert hall it was more of a small kind of parlor room. Piano trios are meant for smaller audiences, so it worked out well. There was about 30 people in the room attending the performance. The music played was from different musical areas. The smaller setting made it easier to focus on the musicians and what all they were doing when playing these songs.
