I recently attended a music concert on December 4,2017, located in the Fine Arts Building in room 120. The setting was a classroom and at the front of the classroom was where the band performed. The name of this band was called Five Five Five, and what I noticed was that there was five player, five instruments which were a flute, a piano, a bass violin, a clarinet, and a guitar. The band also played 5 songs through the entire performance. Unlike the other concerts I attended this was the first concert that had a guitar. This concert was different but it was unique in its own ways.
The first piece that this band played was called Oldurot by Olafur Arnalds. This piece started with the flute playing followed by the clarinet. They ecoched a slow melody from on instrument to the next. The melody shifted to the piano, then to the bass violin and then to the guitar. As each instrument played the melody the other instruments played the down beats in unison. I also noted that this song was very slow, and it just made me feel calm and relaxed. Once the price started to end the piana was the last instrument to play and she held the note until it faded out. This band kept this

his band did just that, in the piece they played called September. WIth this song they performed they allowed audience to create music with everyday objects, such as with rhythm sticks, keys, the rubbing of your hands, and shakers. The pianist started off the song in a decrescendo dynamic, as she played the bass violin chimed in so did the guitar. As the played the atmosphere sounds were made in a consistent rhythm with the band. I liked that this band included sounds of the atmosphere into their performance. Sometime we don't pay attention to the sound the surround us in our everyday lives. Sounds in our daily life are also a source of music, they have their own rhythm and
On February 17th, I attended the “UIC Jazz Ensemble” at 7 in the evening. The concert was located at the Illinois room in Student Center East. The concert director was Mr. Andy Baker, and he is one of the music professors at UIC. Besides, he is a lead trombonist of the Chicago Jaz Ensemble, co-leader of the sextet BakerzMillion. He is also a first-call theatre and studio musician. The lights in the room were pretty dim, and the room was filled with audiences. I noticed that there were a total of nineteen musicians performing that evening, and a lady jazz singer accompanied the musicians throughout the concert. There were sixteen members playing the wind instruments, including the trumpet, trombone, saxophone, flute, and French horn. Some of them were standing, and some were sitting. Besides wind instrument, the concert also included a guitar, drum and piano into the performance. They were played by Edwin Garcia, Aaron Gorden, James Wenzel and Will Gingrich respectively.
Thursdays at Cal State L.A. seemed like any other typical day- warm, busy, and tiring. However, on December 2, 2015, something was particularly different; not only was it the last day of class before finals, but there was also a Mariachi concert directed by Cynthia Reifler Flores. As I was walking towards the State Playhouse, I thought about how the music would be composed. The first thing that I expected was the music to have a quick, upbeat tempo, something that would be played at a festival or a party. I walked through the screen door and was given a pamphlet. In it contained detailed information about their programs, musicians, Flores’ biography, and the prodigious mariachi group. After waiting for what seemed like an eternity, the doors

I attended the Missouri Western Jazz Ensemble concert on February 3. I can thoroughly say I enjoyed the performance. For being a rather small band, less than twenty members, they certainly packed a very large sound. To me the band sounded as though it was very well rehearsed. There seemed no lack of confidence in there playing; you could tell they knew and enjoyed playing the songs. All of these factors made it very entertaining to watch this ensemble.
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.
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.
I am going to talk about the intonation, balance and blend of the Sartell High School Wind Ensembles most recent performance. The style of the pieces played were mostly themes from musicals, movies, and television shows. The pieces performed were titled Star Wars, Baba Yetu, Somewhere, Into the Woods, and What’s up at the Symphony. The concert took place on March 9th, 2016 in the Sartell High School auditorium at 7:30 p.m.
I enjoy and listen to variety of music from classical music to rap music. I have attended many concerts, mostly symphony bands concerts. However, interestingly, through whole my life, I have never experienced jazz music and I have never been to jazz concert. Therefore, it was hard for me to decide which jazz concerts would give me most pleasure and exciting experience. I researched for jazz concerts listing and I have decided to go to the Ron Eschete Trio Concerts because it was held closed to my house and was free.
A wind ensemble performance is considered an art concert due to the fact that it performs music that is composed from the past 5 centuries. Having a diverse instrumentation not only provides a large variety of music, but as well as producing a flexible ensemble. As I stated before there were fifteen different instruments in the performance, which were the flute, oboe, clarinet, bassoon, saxophone, trumpet, horn, trombone, euphonium, tuba, double bass, percussion, drum set, harp, and piano. Having a variety of instruments helped produce a
For my concert write up, I attended the UCR Chamber Singers Valentine's concert on February 9th at the Culver Center of the Arts in downtown Riverside. It was a mix of ensemble pieces, solos, duos, and trios. The setting for the performance was a beautifully lit spot in the center surrounded by art. The audience seats were set up close to the performance area, in about 5 or so rows surrounding the front half of the 'stage'. By the time the performance started, it was nearly full, seemingly diverse, and made up of all ages. Certain members of the audience were very responsive to each performance and it was very easy to tell who was engaged and enjoying the show. They showed this by smiling, laughing, making eye contact, and recording, or taking
The deontological ethical system, ethical formalism, articulates that what is considered moral is the motive or intent of the actor and not the consequence of the action (Pollock, 2012 pg 26). Philosopher Immanuel Kant states that the only thing that is good is good will, if a person does an act from good will; it can be considered moral action even if it results in bad consequences. Kant states that you should treat people as ends in themselves and not as only means to an end. In order to examine if governmental monitoring is ethical from a Kantian perspective, an examination of the why government is monitoring its citizens must be discussed.
The activity that I attended that I don’t normally participate in was going to a concert on campus. I attended a Percussion Ensemble on Tuesday February 18, 2014 at 8:00 pm. The group performing were student musicians with a faculty director Andrew Spencer. The concert hall was completely filled with students, faculty and adults. Even though the hall was completely full, the atmosphere was very quiet as people were just sitting back and relaxing, waiting for a great performance. What motivated me to attend this event was the curiosity of musical perception. I saw that the Staples Family Concert Hall was hosting a percussion ensemble. I enjoy listening to music and this is an event I wouldn’t normally attend, so I figured it would be perfect for this exercise.
On November twenty-second, the concert that I attended was the APSU Wind Ensemble at the George and Sharon Mabry Concert Hall. The conductors of this concert were Gregory Wolynec, Christopher Dyel (graduate) and Sarah Turner (graduate). I have been to numerous concerts but never like this. When I first got to the concert I expected to hear the first instrument in the wood wind section; the flute, but unfortunately I was in shock because the musicians begin with a bass sound; the trumpet. I also expected the performers to be on stage, but they were stationed on opposite sides of the hall playing toward one another. I was very pleased by the performance I thought it was extraordinary and exhilarating.
The Symphony Orchestra concert was preformed by The OU School of Music with Jonathan Shames as a conductor and they presented Sutton Concert Series. In addition, the Orchestra concert performed at Paul F. Sharp Concert Hall in October 12, 2015.There were like forty-one performers on the stage including the conductor using different types of instruments and and all of them were wearing a nice black clothes. The stage was a quite large with wooden floor and there were two floors for the audience with a comfortable seating. However, all the performers were on round shape and against the conductor.
On January 10, 2016, I attended the W.D. Packard Band concert at W.D. Packard Music Hall. The atmosphere was comfortable and relaxing. I have attended other performances and concerts at this venue. The performers vary in age difference and level of experience, but are all extremely talented. The conductor for the band is Dr. Stephen L. Gage.
