Philadelphia Concert Reflection

The music allows them to open up to Him and relax. Playing guitar on the worship team helped prepare the congregation for the day, which would help them with their whole week. These were wonderful experiences, but Feed Knoxville was the most meaningful to me. The goal was to raise one million cans of food for the homeless, which we were able to do. It felt great doing

“Music is present and an integral part of every life celebration: birthdays, holidays, funerals, Quinceañeras, you name it.” Having music around throughout her childhood got her interested in becoming a performer herself.

The Northeast Conference sponsored a speaker to present to the student-athletes here at Robert Morris University. The speaker was Dr. Derek Greenfield, who is a motivational speaker specializing in inclusive excellence and positive change. Dr. Greenfield travels around the country speaking to people about improving relations among groups of diverse individuals. At Robert Morris, his goal was to bring the athletic department together as a whole by helping everyone to become more accepting of others, therefore bringing the athletes together much like a family. This is important because studies show that athletes who feel accepted and important among their peers perform better in his or her particular sport.

The music that flows from this esteemed chapel is incomparable. As equally important, the music from Sisters Chapel expresses the nature and culture of Spelman College. This proposal will explore countless aspects of Sisters Chapel. First and foremost,

Eventually, we all met together, shared our ideas, and began singing. Looking around the room, I vividly remember the grins and the sparkling eyes as we first

To start the Sunday concert off was an energetic, composed group from the gateway to the Sierras city of Clovis. The Clovis North High School Choir was polished and proud to show their talent in front of the big city college singers. The group from Clovis sang three pieces, ending the set with “In the Light of a Clear Blue Morning.” During the last song, a student by the name of Kelly Dow was

Savannah Live was a musical preformance held in one of the oldest continuing theater halls in the nation. The theater, appropiately named the Historic Savannah Theater, origionally opened in 1818, yet do to years of wear and tear and several fires, the modern theater was retrofitted to look like its 1940s, art-deco self. Although the stage was in the traditional Proscienim style, the play was anything but traditional. The stage hall itself seemed like something right out of the hay day of Broadway, with lights surrounding the procienian arch, red velvet chairs and carpet, the hall was like a time caplse bringing me back into the 20th centry. Mimicing the transformations of the hall throughout the years, the musical took the audience on a journey through musical, and theatrical history.

On the day of Sunday April 10th, I went to a jazz ensemble concert at the Trinity University Ruth Taylor Recital Hall. This hall was much larger than the previous performance I attended. My first impression of the group was that they were relaxed and comfortable. For instance, when the drummer winked the drummer gave when the director explained his switch from the trumpet to drums.

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.

On the last piece of their set they were actually moving around towards the end which brought a sense of theatrics into the performance but also showed an interesting passionate side to the singers as well. Although this choir was the first to perform they could potentially be a hard act to

And for good reason. Over the next 7 or 8 minutes, I will explain why playing and singing We Shall Overcome and music in general played a role in the progression

Introduction “That was the one thing that no one could take away from me was my music.” This sentiment, as uttered by a young girl named Rie, is one with which many musicians can identify. Singers in particular would find common ground with the girl’s love of choir, a space in which she felt comfortable being herself. Rie’s choir experience was an exceptionally lucky one; although she felt safe in the chorus, she was at risk of facing numerous choral issues that her peers would not encounter. This risk comes from one simple fact: Rie is transgender.

Attending my first jazz concert was an unforgettable experience of great live instrumental music. The concert was entertaining and a very educational experience of this course. As a student in this course with little musical education, I never appreciated instrumentals, until the SDSU Jazz Concert. This concert was a really enjoyable experience with the balance of all the instruments. I really enjoyed the experience and the knowledge of music I gained from the concert.

The somewhat small choir seemed to exude confidence and managed to captivate the entire audience. Despite their amateurish appearance, the Gospel choir delivered a solid and melodious performance which transformed

Even though it was difficult to choose only one song because of how broad my musical taste is none of those songs made me feel as unique and beautiful as this song does. My options varied from Eminem’s crazy rap to Beyoncé’s sassy rhythm but at the end I decided on a song that has prevailed beautiful for many, many the years and still might be something new for my peers. I wanted to show the class something they probably haven’t heard of and hopefully make some of them curious about the genre or the artist. I chose this song because I wanted to give them the opportunity to try new rhythms, lyrics, genres, and just things in general and showed them how special and incredible this song can be if understood correctly.
