...Feelings about the concert We have just finished attending our third concert in Fenway Center last Thursday. It’s an amazing concert, and all of us should give a performance in this concert. Since I came to America, I have attended three concerts, and I feel that this is the best concert I have attended. Comparing with those two concerts I have attended before, I have more feelings about this concert; and I want to share my feelings with you. In this concert, each of us gave our performances as a unit of class, and our class was the first performer in this concert. We gave four shows: two chorus and two team-sings. The names of our songs were: “We Are the World”, “We are Young”, “Mama Tried”, and “21 Guns”. “We are the World” and “21 Guns” were song by our whole class, “We are Young” and “Mama Tried” were song by Nigerians. In this concert, we used many things that we learned in the class, such as for the song, “We are the World”, we used “call and response” at the end of the song. Actually, when we were practicing these songs, the effect wasn’t very good; we even couldn’t decide what songs to perform. However, when we sang in the concert, the effect was excellent, everyone sang well, and the react of the audiences was good, too. Before I sang, I felt nervous and I was afraid of forgetting the lyrics, however, when I saw the react of the audience, I felt very happy and relaxed. The first performance went on well; other performances were also very amazing. There were many great...

...On Wednesday, December 2nd I attended to a very impressive concert presents by my great music professor Sergio Gonzalez and Hialeah Performing Arts Club. Dr. Sergio Gonzalez invited magnificent singers from his MUL 1010 class to make this concert unforgettable with his accompaniment in the piano. The first thing that I liked about this concert was the atmosphere because I saw how the audience enjoyed the music played by my talent professor and the amazing voices of the vocalists. Every artist was welcomed with a warm applause from every single person. Professor Sergio Gonzalez, and also a phenomenal pianist introduced every singer who accompanied him on the stage with words of admiration. This concert was about “Holiday Selections”...

...Reaction Paper: Raul Sunico Premiere Concert On 22 February, 2015, Dr. Raul Sunico performed a premier concert at the Old Senate Hall at the National Museum of the Philippines. He opened the show with a Polonaise form the opera, “Eugene Onegin” followed by the first-time performance of three concertos by Tchaikovsky. It was a sure privilege of mine to have attended a concert that showcased an actual breakthrough in music history done by our very own dean Dr. Raul Sunico. It did not occur to me that it was the first time all three Tchaikovsky concertos were performed in one concert until I read the program. However, prior to reading the program, I noticed a number of photographers that were present to cover the event and I immediately thought to myself that something special is happening. Knowing that the dean of the Conservatory himself was having a concert was my initial motivation to attend the concert because I was curious as to how good and credible he really was to be our dean. Not that I ever doubted him, but I thought it would be a great opportunity to watch a good example of musicality set by the dean of the conservatory himself. Another incentive of mine in deciding to attend the concert was the fact that it would be my first time going to the National Museum and my first time to hear the Philippine Philharmonic Orchestra. It was fitting to have a concert in the museum because art and music always complemented each other, especially when they can be appreciated...

...performances. I have always enjoyed going to concerts ever since I was 10 and my mother took me to the Hilary Duff concert. Some say I am insane since I like to attend at least 5 concerts a year, but there is something about the atmosphere at a concert that entices me to continue to return. This past month I attended the Ariana Grande concert with two of my closest friends and this is the concert that I am going to analyze. There are three distinct points that Hesmondhalgh outlines in his book Why Music Matters. He talks about music creating status, the function of music evoking emotion and the capacity of dance that music embodies and these...

...Assignment 3: Cultural Event Report Blaine Medvec Ray Otto World Cultures I September 7th, 2012 The event I was at was a music concert located in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania called Sublime with Rome. My cousin wanted to go see one of his favorite bands called Cypress Hill. Also other bands known as Sublime and Pepper were to be attending the event. The location where it was exactly located is known as Stage AE or Stage American Eagle. Now I have been to many different concerts before but they were usually local bands in an indoor place with about 100-300 people. This one in particular was outdoor and over 5000 people. I went with my cousin, his friend and his girlfriend. Everybody except for me lived in Pittsburgh so they were more aware of what was to be expected than I was. I live about an hour away from Pittsburgh so it took us awhile to meet up with everyone as he came to pick me up. When we finally arrived in Pittsburgh, we were getting a hotel that night so we went there first. Once we checked in we waited for our friends to arrive. After about an hour of waiting, our friends Tom and Caitlin showed up. We then made our way over to the concert. When I arrived at the event I thought it would be a lot of fun. The people gathered around the stage were excited and anticipating the show. I proceeded to get some food and drink before as I knew I would probably be getting no time to leave as it would only get more and more crowded. Once we got our spot in the crowd, we simply...

...Rochelle Emauni Pina Sorrel Hays Survey of World Music 1110 December 5, 2013 Eccentrix Talent Show Review Singing has always been a passion of mine. Since the fourth grade I was a prestigious student in concert choir, taking part in many events throughout grade school. Last Thursday, I was honored to partake in the University of West Georgia’s first official talent show hosted by the Eccentrix organization. Eccentrix is a student-based organization that host’s events such as open mic and free verse nights dedicated to the students at West Georgia. The mission is to promote an environment that is open to any race, religion, or culture where the students are able to perform a variety of talents varying from singing, dancing, playing an instrument, or even a poem of choice. When I heard about the talent show, I didn’t hesitate to say yes and audition. The night of the show I was anxious and couldn’t have been more ready to perform. The opening of the show was a wonderful experience as I sat and watched my peers perform their talents. I watched in amazement and couldn’t wait to go on stage myself. I was the second to last act, and I performed an official piece written by me. The song is called “Change your ways,” which is dedicated to an ex-boyfriend of mine. It was the first time I had ever performed apiece written by me so it was a new experience. When it was my time, I sat on stage, picked up the mic, and gave the best performance of my life. It felt so good...

...saw exited fans even more excited than I have ever been and in that moment I knew that this concert will probably be the best one I have ever been too. If I could explain this night I would say it was a very sweet night, sweet as in candy, but unfortunately it was also bitter like Black coffee and no I am not lying! Ariana Grande appeared on stage with her cat ears which seemed to be changing colors from my which was somewhat far. She opened with one of my all time favorite songs, “Bang, Bang” which the well known Carolyn Menyes from Music Times called this single "Huge successful hit of summer 2014. The Opener...

...i had never been to a musical concert before Friday December 9th, the concert that I attended was interesting and worth seeing. There were both things that I viewed to be positive and negative about this concert. Each song had something different to offer from the feeling of each piece, what I like and disliked about the piece, and my/crowd’s reaction. March was one of the first pieces I heard. This piece was quite peaceful. There was a smooth melody throughout the work. Although the melody was nice and smooth, there were strong notes that would be played throughout the piece. This gave the music a great mix of highs and lows, with strong and smooth notes. This piece was very nice and relaxing. It made me remember the times when I was younger from my childhood and we would sit around the Christmas tree listening to music with my brother and sister or my parents. The crowd reacted quite well to this piece as I also did. There were not any noticeable mistakes, and the two pianos did not seem to clash and create a sound of dissonance. Although this piece was peaceful it was only one of many I listened to....

...On the 28th of March, I decided to attend yet another trio concert at the breathtaking Dr. Bobbie Bailey & Family Performance Center. Arriving on time, I walked in and took my sit immediately as if I was a regular at this point. The daunting and new hall that I entered for the first concert has now become more of a comforting place filled with amazing musicians. Like the last concert at this hall, this concert was compromised of a trio. It was nice to see Charae Krueger (cello) and Robert Henry (piano) appear once more on stage, but there was a new face to be seen. Rather than John Warren walking out, Helen Kim (violin) had taken the stage to finish the trio off. While I waited for the concert to begin, I began to sift through the program and...

...Club IT is a fairly new business venue that provides customers with a vast array of music that would cater to a wide variety of clientele. The focus of music they provide is Hip-hop, techno, Electronica, live band, and DJ’s with mp3’s. However, they feature other genres of music as well. The owners, Ruben Keys and Lisa Tejada, worked as musicians while obtaining a degree in business administration, which allowed them to gain experience with nightclub transactions. Their mission "We, Ruben and Lisa, offer you live music, DJ's, dance space and refreshments that suit your lifestyle. You are our friends, and we seek to build a community that meets regularly at Club IT" (Club IT, para. 4). The owners of Club IT have set a decent foundation for their business; however, after visiting the severely inefficient website there are several upgrades that need to be executed. The website that is currently used is vague. Club IT needs to upgrade its website. Possible suggestion for upgrades is initiating a blog that informs customers of future plans for the business as well as advertise upcoming events. Also, the merchandise section of the website should be constructed to allow customers to purchase products online. There is no process in effect that allows clientele to communicate with Club IT; therefore, a social networking program that allows customers to create a profile allows open communication with the owners to gain more insight to what their customers want. Such networking...

...Sheng Lu Assignment: Concert review from Faculty Artist Series Presents (on date 9/8/15) Instructor: Professor Mark Gibson September 22, 2015 That night, I went to Robert J. Werner Recital Hall listened the concert performed by Musician Steve Allee and professor of percussion Rusty Burge. The music they played is relate to Jazz, although I don’t know much about the music, I can feel the player they love music and devote their lives in it. For what I can do I think just enjoy and appreciate them bring their music to us. Also, I was impressed by these two instruments piano and vibraphone they are wonderfully connected to each other, and there is one moment I think piano and vibraphone they are designed for each other. It reminds me my teenage year in middle school, I play trumpet in school orchestra so I can understood them how much they like what they performed it becomes their friend already. But one thing I am curious about is that I was first time saw the vibraphone and I don’t know it can make the sound so special, it feels like I am in another world with that sound only. Such powerful and pure. At the same time, I realized that if I want to learn well on these two instrument how difficult it is, I have to memorize every beat and practice as many times as I can in order to prevent making mistakes. Especially, vibraphone every sing mistake will ruin the whole song due to its specialty. I like the part they played “Waltz for Tomorrow”, the tune of the song is my...

...Driving to west from my address to Swallow Hill Music Center for 40 minutes one way at the evening was my first-time experience to the music concert in my life. I was a bit nervous when I arrived the place, but thanks to the receptionists at the front desk for warm welcoming and guidance. I took a middle row sit at the center of the hall and everything at the hall was a very nice, a well decorated light, attractive arts on the wall on the all the corners, the stage with five empty sits each with a microphone and a music stand at its front. Watching the performance and at the same time taking a note for my paper was also the only to do list for me. When time arrives, A young lady arrived a stage with a piece of paper and made a brief announcement about the concert and what they do, other notice like no photo graphs and others. Then Marrakech Express band arrived the stage with a full band instruments and after gaining the stage and awaiting the crowd’s silence, Samir El Yesfi begins picking the ‘ûd or lute which is what is called guitar in West accompanied by violin by Sandra Wong, Darbûka, the Moroccan bendir by Brett Bowen, and clarinet by Dexter Payne. After playing music for while Samir started singing “lama bada yatathana” which later I found on a YouTube being...

...I went to the SJSU Music Concert Hall on November 11,2015, and it costs 5 dollars for the ticket. When I arrived there, I saw that most of the audiences are SJSU students, and a few of them are professors. The audiences dressed casually, and I dressed casually as well because I think that I was a casual listener at the concert. When I was listening to different pieces, I felt amazing because I never heard this kind of music before. I enjoyed the slow tempo because it gives me the feeling of relax. The pieces that were performed are “ If You Walked A Mile”, “The Five”, “Variations for Abbey”, “Ion Trails”, “ A Different Drummer”, and “All Our Broken Instruments”. The musical style for “If you Walked A Mile” is classical and electric, for “The Five” is orchestra, and the rest of the pieces are classic and electric. There were drums, computer, marimba, gong, triangle, and timpani as instrumentation of the ensemble. There was no seating arrangement and there is only one performer....

...The Band I chose to do my concert report on is none other than John Mayer. Ironically a few hours before attending this concert I had no idea who this performer was, I blindly trusted a good friend of mine, and bought tickets for both us. Having no idea what i was getting into, not to mention this would be the first concert i would ever attend, it ended up being one of the best decisions i have ever made. The concert was divided into 5 portions mainly focused on John Mayer's legendary guitar skills. It started with the full band, went soft as he played an acoustic portion, than livened up the audience with the John Mayer Trio, took it up some more with the Full Band, and closed the concert with a spectacular encore. The first portion of the...
