concert review
Symphony of Winds and Percussion
This was my first time attending classical musical concert like the postcards, it wasn’t bad at all and I really enjoyed it. The performance was amazing and it was more than what I expected. I thought that it was going to be boring and I will be sitting there falling asleep, but I actually was emotionally involved with the music.
The musicians and the conductor did a great job; they were amazing and they all sounded professionals to me. I was able to know all the instruments they were playing because we have learned them in class; they were playing piccolo, flute, oboe, bassoon, clarinet, bass clarinet, alto saxophone, tenor saxophone, baritone saxophone, trumpet, French horn, trombone, euphonium, tuba, timpani, percussion, string bass, and piano.
The orchestra started by playing the New Mexico March by John Philip Sousa, then First Suite in E-flat Major for Military Band by Gustav Holst, then Glenbury Grove by Julie Giroux, then Festal Scenes by Yasuhide Ito, after this piece we got a ten minute break then they started again by playing Valse for Mademoiselle Angot by Charles Lecoq, then played Fantasy on “Salve Regina” by Partick J. Burn who Is also the director of the Symphony of Winds and Percussion, and finally played Donzon No. 2 by Arturo Marquez trans, Oliver Nickel.
Going to see an orchestra play was an enjoyable experience. The music played by the Symphony of Winds and Percussion is definitely different than what I am used to hearing but nevertheless I liked it. Now I can listen to symphonies and not get bored by them because I know what I am listening to, and I wouldn’t mind going to see another symphony orchestra play again sometime in the near
