performed the concert at Conant Performing Arts Center on Friday‚ November 1‚ 2015‚ at 8 pm. The concert setting was smaller than the other venues we visited for previous concerts. The room was semi-lit‚ and classmates filled the concert hall. The concert conventions were not surprising as we have attended other concerts‚ and the conventions were the same. The Oglethorpe Singer and the Oglethorpe Chorale performance was excellent‚ they were in sync‚ and everyone did great. It was my first concert‚ and I

The Stony Brook Symphony Orchestra and Fady Deeb Saturday‚ October 6‚ 2012 Lontano by György Ligeti This piece has an eerie and dissonant aura throughout the piece‚ without having much musical resolve in its sounds. The entire orchestra was included in this piece‚ except for the percussion section. These polyphonic sounds of this piece were played extensively‚ reflecting no noticeable tempo or rhythm‚ therefore creating ambiguous sounds. However‚ the dynamic range was wide enough to create

Because of my orchestral experience‚ I will audition for the Wellesley-Brandeis Orchestra. Having experienced a kind of merging between groups‚ I was able to meet different
