Concert Report 1 - "Classical"


            For most of my life I've always wanted to see an orchestral performance in person, but the prices for most of the classical concerts I've heard about were usually out of my budget range. Thankfully, my peers here at the university offer a number of these concerts free of charge, and thus, I am very glad that I finally had the chance to attend such a concert. .
             When I first entered Boss recital room, I was in awe of the design and architecture of the room. With what looked like an organ embedded into the back wall and all the small intricate designs incorporated into the walls; the room was breath taking. I felt like I was stepping into an architect's mind. The orchestra consisted of what I expected, containing many violinists, violists and cellists as well as a number of brass and percussion players. Mostly specifically, I noticed the oboe players, the drum player, the trumpeters, the harp players, and later the pianist. Everyone in the orchestra was dressed very professionally - the men in black and white tuxedos and the women in black dresses. Before the performance began, each performer tuned his or her instrument, together with the entire orchestra. After the conductor came on stage, he turned around and bowed. I almost expected that he was going to introduce himself and announce what piece was about to be performed, but instead they just started playing.
             The first piece they played was "Night on Bare Mountain" by Mussorgsky. This seemed to be the perfect choice to start off with. The music was very emotional and exciting to listen to - a very good attention getter. The conductor was very into this piece expressing a lot of motion through his body; you could almost feel the tension and emotions of the piece purely through his movements. In fact, if a deaf person were to watch the conductor, he or she could probably sense the emotion of the song just through his movements. Furthermore, the notable rhythm and quick tempos kept me interested until the very end - the piece never seemed to have a "down moment.
