It was much different than anything I have been too. The two main narrators made this circus Olay act, even more entertaining by being humorous. A great deal of times these two narrators made almost the whole crows grin and chuckle. For my family and me, we could not stop smirking or laughing the entire time. What else brought uniqueness to this performance is that they got people from the crowd involved in a couple instances.
In fact, this is not his first time playing a concerto. Last year, Noah played “Introduction and Rondo Capriccioso” by Camille Saint-Saëns on marimba with the Vancouver Philharmonic Orchestra. He also received a gold medal for scoring the highest in the Royal Conservatory of Music Examination in BC. He has played in various concerts including those hosted by his family in Tapestry, a retirement home. He also
On October 29, I attended the Professor Harry F. and Mary Ruth Jackson Lunch Hour Series. While I was at the Lunch Hour series, I had the pleasure of watching Elizabeth Carville Evans and Valerie Ludlum Wright perform. Elizabeth played the flute and Valerie played the piano. The two performed individually and together, which showed the audience the beauty of both instruments individually, and how well they accompanied each other.
so I was pretty amazed at seeing him and his partner do dance moves, they did an amazing job telling a story without any real use of dialogue. Gonzalo Nieto was definitely was one of my favorites, he was in another mini play called, It’s Not a Joke and he played the other half of a character that had a split personality, he did a very spontaneous job and I really enjoyed seeing his radiant personality on stage. The entire cast was
I found it very impactful how Larson saw problems in society, and used his gift of music composition and storytelling
The ensembles directed by Mr. Anderson sounded really well and the songs were really nice. They didn’t show many dynamics, but other than that they had great intonation. The ensembles directed by Miss Page was a different story. The Advanced Band, Advanced
Jazz has been around since the 19th century. But the most well-known jazz pianist is none other than “the master of swing”, Oscar Peterson. Peterson has been known for being the best jazz pianist of all time, being awarded the “Companion of the Order of Canada” and is the first African- Canadian to be appointed in the Canadian Music hall of Fame. Oscar Peterson opened up the path for people of colour to pursue their dream in the Jazz industry. Peterson’s accomplishments have had a big impact on his career, his accomplishments have also contributed to Canada’s history and lastly, his legacy impacted young people on starting piano and learning more about him.
The first piece that I chose to listen to was “Stars” By Eriks Esenvaldis, which was performed by the Salt Lake Vocal Artists and conducted by Brady Allred. To begin with, the Salt Lake Vocal Artists had a strong connection with their conductor, which made it seamless and easy for them to crescendo and diminuendo when Dr. Allred gestured for certain parts of music to be performed as such. On the word ‘heaven’, they had a wonderful use of the schwa, and did so by breathing in the vowel. The Salt Lake Vocal Artists for the majority of the piece allowed their voices to be open and free. The only exception to this was when the sopranos would reach a high note, and you could tell that their space wasn’t as prepared as it could have been.
The Santa Fe Evening of Jazz was a great concert featuring the Rhythm and Blues, Jazz Combo, and Big Band from Santa Fe College with special guest Professor Scott Wilson from the University of Florida Jazz Studies. This Evening of Jazz was the ninth one to be held and was superbly done; getting a ticket was quick and simple, finding a seat was as easy, and leaving was not hard. The whole performance was led by Doctor Steven Lee Bingham who also played with all the bands on the alto saxophone along with giving information about each band, song, scholarship players, and on Mr. Wilson and his unique instrument called a E.V.I.. The audience had a pleasant feel, everyone was talking and laughing before and after the performance, they also were
A fact that I appreciated was that it was the director’s first year at Trinity and he made sure he did an exceptional job on these pieces. Compared to the last performance I attended, I liked this one more because it was exciting and made me comfortable being
I attended to a concert performed by the San Francisco Symphony Youth Orchestra on November 13th this year. This concert took place in the Davies Symphony Hall in San Francisco. I chose to attend to this concert because I have never been to a performance by any youth orchestra, I was curious to see how their performance would compare to other orchestras. The first of the three piece that were performed in this concert was Maenads’ Dance, from The Bassarids, composed by Hans Werner Henze. A variety of instruments were used in this piece, including woodwinds, brass, percussion, and strings.
Ever since I started playing the piano at the age of 8, I have developed a great love for the arts. As a music major, I have spent my entire undergraduate career surrounded by music, performing music and teaching music. I am currently a senior music education major at Ithaca College. I study under Gordon Stout, Professor of Percussion at Ithaca College. I serve as the President of the Percussion Arts Society of Ithaca College.
My experience in Pickering High School cabaret was extremely gratifying. During rehearsals, I made new friends and strengthened the existing relationships I had. Being an actor in this extracurricular taught me the need to manage my time, and helped me improve my memorization and learning skills. It pushed me to continue to excel in my academic classes, while balancing homework and leisure time with rehearsal time. Leading up to show dates, I was sacrificing my lunch hour everyday to improve the show to the best it could be.
I really enjoyed his enthusiasm and love for music, which was very noticeable during his performance. I enjoyed his part in the song and his great skills on the piano. The rhythm of a song allows the audience to add their own motion to the unique beat and “Concord Blues Plus 8” created an entertaining beat that I appreciated greatly. When I was younger I played the piano, so I felt I could relate the most with that instrument and could understand the piano part the best. The songs that were played at the concert added depth to the course because all the musicians were very talented and brought a great jazz experience to the concert.
The Lovell High School Concert Band had an amazing concert on the 30th of November. The songs included Celebration and Tribute, Sleigh Ride, Spirit of the Highlands, with a bonus of the combined band on Jinge, Jinge, Jingle. While all the songs were good, they were not spectacular. One that stands out to me is Celebration and Tribute. While Celebration and Tribute is not an extremely a technical piece, it still has its moments of fast notes and rhythms.
