The concert that I reviewed is the Guitar Studio Recital featuring The Oakland University Saxo-Ensemble. I love listening to guitars so I figured that this was the perfect concert for me.

Nederlander Concerts very existence is due to operating by the principles of Capitalism carefully practiced by the Nederlander Family for the last 100 years. They have survived the great depression of 1929 and the recession of 2008; obviously they are doing something right.

Morceau de Concert Written 1887 by Camille Saint-Saëns‚ the work for solo horn and piano was written first‚ the edition for solo horn and orchestra was developed later. The style is classical with hints of Romanticism. The form of the first movement is theme and variation‚ there are two themes that Saint-Saëns introduces and then develops from an eighth note pattern into a triplet pattern‚ and then into a sixteenth-note pattern. This is a piece that I am playing for juries and my lesson teacher
