On Thursday‚ April 21st‚ I had the opportunity to attend a jazz combos concert. I took it upon myself to attend this concert because of my interest for jazz and all that goes along with this genre of music. This concert involved two different groups of musicians performing music in the typical laid back fashion that most jazz performances are played in. Throughout this reaction I will give a few things I liked and disliked about these two groups of performers and specifically what intrigued me about

March Concert Make-Up Assignment For the March district concert‚ the Chorale sang a variety of songs including Land of Our Dreams‚ Seize the Day‚ The Water is Wide‚ and They Dared to Dream. Some songs were filled with emotion‚ such as Land of Our Dreams‚ while others were peaceful‚ like The Water is Wide. The biggest part about the four songs that the Chorale performed are that you had to keep the sound moving and make it seem like the song was going somewhere. Dynamics and vowel sounds were also

Last Saturday‚ I attended the All-Region concert at Berkner. My family and I arrived 20 minutes late‚ but surprisingly came right on time to watch the beginning of the high school concert. In the end‚ I was surprised by how short the whole concert had felt. One minute I was hearing the orchestra perform and the next we were on our feet clapping. Now‚ as I try to actually remember the concert‚ the first piece was not as memorable as the second and then third. They played with energy and the endings

B.B. King performed a full blues concert‚ but based off his performance and the crowd reactions‚ you would not think he was performing anything sad. Though his style is traditionally blues‚ each song performed‚ with the exception of “Love Me Tender”‚ had an upbeat vibe to it. He played a total of nine songs with almost all of them ending with the same melody that the Blues are known for. The acoustics of the venue‚ Nick’s Uptown‚ were pretty good. There was only a slight echo‚ but for the audience

Concert Review 1 Jazz Concert The concert I attended stared two very talented African musicians‚ Lionel Loueke and Richard Bona. This was the first concert I had ever been to. I had never seen professional artists perform live before so seeing these two men that were well known in the jazz world was amazing. It was nothing like I expected‚ I thought the concert was just going to be regular old jazz songs‚ but the way these guys played it was like they were free styling the entire show. The musician

Concert Reflection On Sunday‚ April 17th‚ I attended a concert at Franklin & Marshall College. The concert featured members of the Lancaster symphony chorus and orchestra. Overall‚ the choirs combined with the orchestra‚ presented a full‚ beautiful sound. Their consonants were crisp‚ they used crescendos and decrescendos skillfully‚ and their voice parts were balanced. First‚ the choirs and orchestra combined performed Beethoven’s “Mass in C”. This section of the concert featured four soloists
