Samuel Barber ! It would seem‚ when comparing the lives of some of the most accomplished composers of music in history‚ that many of them struggled a great deal‚ both in the music world and in their own personal lives‚ to make their way to fame.

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. It was very creative because the Saxophone players were dressed up as zombies and the composer was dressed up as death and he used his scythe to compose the ensemble. Halloween‚ being one of my favorite holidays‚ this was a nice surprise. I am glad that I attended this concert because it the pieces were not too

While listening to a radio station dedicated to classical music‚ my grandpa heard about a concert starring Kirk Muspratt and the New Philharmonic orchestra. He had been a long-time supporter and contributor to the orchestra and loved the conductor‚ so he wanted me to share his experiences as well. The New Philharmonic really is not the newest orchestra; it was founded 40 years ago with only 29 musicians who practiced in worn-down buildings. Originally founded to be a chamber group‚ the NP eventually
