The Concert (A Musical Party) is an oil on canvas, Baroque period painting completed by the Flemish painter Theodoor Rombouts circa 1620. The work portrays a group of five costumed musicians around a table covered with a Persian tapestry rug. Of the five performers, there are four men and one woman. The four men are playing various instruments, the woman appearing to be the vocalist. The play of deep shadows and bright highlights present in this painting make the overall use of chiaroscuro more pronounced, reflecting the strong influence of Caravaggio, a revolutionary Italian painter who Rombouts studied under. Caravaggio’s works, which combine the realistic rendering of the human state with a dramatic use of lighting, had a formative effect…
I chose to attend the play called "Present Laughter" on Friday, March 2nd, at Fort Hays State University. It was a very well put on play and the actors did an phenomenal job. All the actors were very professional and seemed to be very well prepared. They also did a good job on the set by making the play seem very realistic to all the audience members that attended the play. I wasn't that excited at first to go to this play because I have never been to a play in person…
I saw the Addams Family Play in the Lunt Fontanne Theater in New York City. I came in very excited to see this play because I had seen a few other Broadways before and they were all excellent. I was also excited because Brooke Shields, who I just found out was famous for something although I wasn’t sure what, was playing Morticia. The play was the best one that I had ever seen without a doubt. I hope I get a chance to see it again.…
performance. I love that they use Benny Goodman’s composition to end the whole concert because it really brought the 1920’s big bang jazz’s feeling back to the audience. I think the repertoire for this performance was good because there were a mix of many different styles, such as contemporary pieces, swing, blues, free jazz, and etc. In my…
On the night of November 5th, one of my favorite rising hip hop stars, Hoodie Allen came to the Sacramento State campus. When I first heard of the concert I thought to myself, Hoodie is pretty famous why would he be performing at Sacramento State? Of course I had to see him, so I reached out to a bunch of my friends from my hometown to come with me on that fine night and I’ll tell you it was worth the ten dollar fee. Hoodie lit up the stage with his intense energy and his interaction with the crowd. Although being incredibly hot due to the mass amount of people being in the ballroom at the same time, it definitely will go down as one of the greatest concerts I have been to.…
Overall, I enjoyed my attendance at the concert choir held at Benedictine University. The show was well done and I could tell that the members of the choir worked very hard in preparation. Although there were eight songs, the concert went by fairly quick. There was only one baby grand piano in the middle of the stage, but other than that, it was interesting to see that no other instruments were used except for their own voices and they were able to project an excellent performance for the…
My mother had gotten us tickets to see Chris Young, but we did not know who the opening performers would be. After school, we headed out to the Allen County War Memorial Coliseum in Fort Wayne, and we just made it in time for the opening of the show. When Kelsea Ballerini took the stage, my daughter was completely in awe.…
It’s not really the type of concert I would have typically gone to for fun but I did enjoy myself. I think the fact that it was salsa made it more interesting since I am Hispanic. I caught myself bobbing my head to the rhythm, clapping my hands, and tapping my foot in some of the performances. One of my friends was in the concert so it was nice to see him play on the drums and how he had a solo. Also another guy from my jazz class was in the concert and he played very well and it was riveting to see the way he played his solo on the sax. I don’t know if I would ever go to another jazz concert for fun but who knows maybe I would if it was a salsa one. I am glad that I got to go and see this because I probably would not have experienced this if it wasn’t because I had to. It did open up my eyes more to the world of jazz and seeing how different it is to see them playing live than from a computer or just listening to the songs. To see it all happening was fascinating. I would tell anyone that they should go some time in their life to a jazz concert, specifically a salsa one. If I out of everyone enjoyed it than anyone…

The concert venue on Friday night which held the show provided a warm and inviting environment for its guests. Especially, when attending the show with some friends from my Music 33 class. It made the show and the overall experience much better.…

Seeing them in concert was amazing, because of their passion for what they do. You could see that they knew their music made an impact, and that drove them. How their music changes people’s lives leaves me in awe. The music doesn’t just change lives it has saved them. There is no better example than the man who saved his own life after hearing “I’m Moving On”. Or even the experience they gave a women…
It was early September when my mother made the announcement; she had purchased the concert tickets along with Meet and Greet. But these wasn't just any concert tickets, they were tickets to see my favorite country duo Dan + Shay! I was beyond excited. but just when I thought my day couldn't possibly get any better than in that moment, I learned the concert was in Nashville, Tennessee. to most people, Nashville was just another city, but not to me. To me, Nashville was exciting and fun and held great times to come. I started to count down the days until we left.…

After viewing a rock concert performed by Linkin Park from modern times and a performance of Marin Marais, Suite No.3 from Pieces en trio (1692) baroque music (performed in modern times). I enjoyed both concerts, but even not being a musician, rock music can easily be separated from baroque music.…
