Severance Hall is home to the world renowned orchestra, The Cleveland Orchestra. Due to my father playing french horn in the orchestra and my Mother being a vocalist, listening to music was part of my daily life. Close to the age of four, my Mother began to take me to orchestra performances at the hall. It would be another seven years before I found a reason to delve into music when I picked up the trumpet in the fifth grade. The satisfaction kept me going for long enough that I would find exciting paths to walk.
The two events that we will be focusing on to include in the additional programming in Fantasia 1940 is the live orchestra and guest speaker. The classical music of live orchestra still needs to be included in the Fantasia film (1940) at the beginning because it has good connections with the venue, which is Disney Concert Hall and most importantly, the characters and contents of this film. There will be many people, who will want and be engage in watching this whole film as there is a little excitement of live orchestra performance going on at the beginning. The audience will get the opportunity to listen to a variety of classical music played by the live orchestra in the film at the beginning as they sit in the concert hall.
Although they did very in volume during the performance, they were overall very loud during the performance. However, the sound was also unbearably loud. The theatre was set up in a weird, circular way, so the stage was surrounding the audience and the instrumentals were in the center. Therefore, it had to be very loud due to the setup of the performance and the sound bouncing back from the circular walls. Overall, the volume of the performance was well-done as (for the set up the performers had), they could fluctuate in volume and never be annoyingly loud or soft.
You are on the edge of your seat, bow in one hand with a cello in the other. All of your hours of practice have come down to this precise moment. Not many of the audience knows how hard you worked to play this piece. In fact, not many people really know who you are until they see how hard you have worked.
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
The Appalachian Symphony Orchestra performed, Celebration and Remembrance. The orchestra opened with Fanfare for the Common Man. Which was conducted by Mr. Smith. It was a great way to start off a World War II and Civil War Memorial concert. It was the opening piece and the orchestra was full of energy, and came out loud and with the bang.
The lighting was very simple which expressed mystery and pro-longing emotion. The set was built above and below our seats. Which provided more space for the actors to freely use their surroundings for more intimate scenes between the audience. The actors expressed drama, humor, and despair with only little props and stage design. This made it more challenging for the audience to understand what was being said.
It’s a perfect night for a concert, warm, calm, and overall elegant. On Friday, September 11 in the Nightingale Concert Hall, a fabulously performed concert called the Argenta Concert Series, The Fifth Anniversary Season, directed by Dmitri Atapine and Hyeyeon Park, took place. In this performance the following musicians performed; Stephanie Sant’Ambrogio on the violin, Dustin Budish on the viola, and James Winn on the piano. Not only that, there was also a guest appearance by Jonah Kim on the cello. Although not the best turnout, there was still a decent audience.
I attended the San Francisco Symphony 's Chamber Music Series on Sunday, June 26, at Davies Symphony Hall in San Francisco. To be honest it was a struggle for me and I bounced back and forth between being a casual listener and a perceptive listener. What is it in the music that makes me feel this way? It was a journey getting to the symphony hall that day. Since I had just had foot surgery I had planned to ride BART into the city and then catch an Uber ride to the hall.
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.
In this piece of personal statement I am going to evaluate the event and my role as a Host and Stage Assistant in its organization, which took place in the Courtyard Theatre in London on the 27 of May. This event was organized by the group of BA students from London Tech Music School. Our cooperative efforts in the organization of event brought good results and were appreciated by the audience. From my point of view, the concert was really successful. Reflecting from the technical viewpoints, the venue proceeded without any problems: lightning, monitors, visuals etc. everything was at the appropriate level (Brocket 2010).
At the end of the year for auditions, I decided to try out for Symphonic band, the top band in our school. Because I was in one of the last bands, a lot of people told me this would be very difficult to do. When the results came in I found out I had made symphonic. I was very proud of myself with how much I had improved within just a year. I even got the Academic Excellence for Concert 2 band award at the end of the 2013-2014 school year.
Introduction The ancient Greek theater was began around 700 B.C. when they celebrated their god; Dionysus in a festival called City Dionysia. In order to welcome and honored Dionysus, the ancient Greek men would dance, sing and play in choruses which established the classical Greek theater with the chorus as the important and active part in the play. During the classical Greek, the chorus was played by men since only men could involve in play and women should only be slave for men. When it was first being introduced, a man would hold the same roles like actors, directors, and also dramatists.
Prior to this, I have never attended a classical concert. I actually had no clue as to what to expect because I could not find a review for UH concerts. The Jazz Orchestra performed in the Moores Opera House on a stage setting similar to that of my middle school band. The band instruments were tiered on the risers while the other performers were simply beside the risers. There were a few noticeable differences such as, the microphones set in the center for soloists, and a marker hanging from above to mark the center of the stage.
