music and lots of different live 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

If I were going to attend a concert, I would typically buy a ticket for a big-name artist at a stadium-like venue such as Madison Square Garden. In this regard, the Rasputina concert was against my status quo. The first thing that I noticed was that I was by far the youngest person there. The main area of the Haunt had a quaint yet unfamiliar vibe. I think that the building itself, which displayed records and music-related relics on the walls, produced the quaint feeling while the attendees produced

My first experience at a classical concert took place on Friday, November 14, 2014 at The Perelman Theater. I got to see the quartet Quatuor Ebene.

The room has amazing acoustics. Chairs in the first level of seating are able to retract in order to create a deeper stage, complete fly-loft, and orchestra pit. I sat

I attended a small concert on Friday October 13th in Fullerton California at a bar named the Slidebar. The bands that performed were Livication, Special Blend, and the main performance was by Brewfish. These bands are all of the reggae/rock genre with Brewfish also containing a little alternative and pop as well. The Slidebar’s setup is very organized having a stage down a hall in the back room separated from the bar, which makes for a decently spacious event for a bar. The Slidebar’s purpose was

I went to the Three Way Jazz concert at Diablo Valley College on October 2, 2015. Three groups performed at this concert. They were: DVC Jazz Ensemble, DVC Night Jazz Band, and Rory Snyder’s Night Jazz Band. I chose to attend this performance for my concert report because I wanted to see and hear DVC’s jazz bands as well as learn more about the music department there. The first piece that I will talk about is a funk song called “Get In Line,” composed by Gordon Goodwin. This piece was performed

For example, one Gillespie concert attendee in Zagreb, Yugoslavia, was moved when she exclaimed, “What this country needs is fewer ambassadors and more jam sessions!” According to Dr. Curtis Sandberg, jazz diplomacy had

This live concert showcased the Family Matters group performance and Chance’s own strong melody infused vocals followed with a sold out crowd full of passionate energy that makes this show one that will be remembered eternally. The three keys to a great show similar
