Music venue

My mom made a phone call to the venue, the best decision all day. She explained the accident and glanced at my heavily taped ankle. They obliged and gave us a pass to use the service elevator instead of the stairs. The concert was fast approaching and the lines of teenage girls clad in…

Music is considered an universal language, able to be a double-edged sword when it comes to mental wellness from children to elderly alike. Children are exposed to much music, averaging 21 hours a week. As a result, music has a profound impact on childrens’s mental wellness, yet the worrying trend is that they might not be equipped to deal with its influence, with severe consequences in later life (e.g. suicide).

Surcari presented by Maxwell Shepherd Concert Series on Thursday, November 10, 2016, at 7:30 p.m. The venue was the University of Connecticut Greater Hartford Campus. The program began with Vientos del Sur, which is traditional Bolivian song that translates into South Winds. The sheer energy of that first chord from the acoustic guitar marked the beginning of a night of beautiful cultural music. It opens up with the quick strumming of the acoustic guitar and later follows the bass pipes and pan…

was full of great music with great people and that made this night one for the books. The concert’s venue, the music, the other music goers, and the affordability are all key components that helped make this concert an overall great experience.…

The live concert I chose to examine was Wicked. My family and I went and saw it on October 15th at Century II at the 2:00 p.m. showing. Inside the venue, there’s around over 30 rows of red seats on the main floor, along with a balcony with perhaps a handful of rows (I didn’t get a chance to see how many). The walls are a beige color and narrow from the back to the front in a “V” formation to draw focus onto the stage. The stage had an industrial look on each side with a large map of the land of…

In ‘Music and the Silent Film’ by Patrick Miller the writer comments that from the earliest days of the cinema, commercial films were accompanied by music. From the fairground nickelodeons where player pianos churned out popular favourites to the glittering movie palaces where large orchestras accompanied the images on the silver screen, film music flourished. Music for the movies not only heightened the emotional response to a picture, but also served the practical purpose of drowning out the…

The Obladee wine bar is a small venue on Barrington street that can accommodate roughly 80 patrons before seating runs out, with very little standing room. It is a dimly lit bar with four staff working for the evening, two bartenders and two servers working opposite ends of the short narrow venue. There are a few decorative plants and candles scattered throughout. I Sat opposite of the musicians by the door, behind me there was a mural of a trumpeter sitting on the ground playing with his back…

a sort of basso continuo, generally backing the horns, but occasionally taking up the melody for themselves, resulting in a texture that was thinly polyphonic. Also noticeable was the “fabulous light up tip jar,” a colorful accompaniment to their music. The concert ran from 7 to 9 PM, so I went in not only with the intention of listening to the group but also with a good meal in mind. I left the building with filled notebook pages…

Carnegie Hall has been a fixture in New York City for well over a century now. Since 1891, this iconic venue has hosted some of the most famous and respected musical artists from around the world and become known as one of the country’s most venerated performing arts centers. Few people, however, know the hidden history of the famous venue, such as the important played in popularizing rock and roll music and the time it was nearly demolished, something unthinkable nowadays. Here’s a quick look…

originally composed in 1887 for the consecration of the chapel in the stately home of the prominent architect and philanthropist Josef Hlávka in Lužany. Hlávka had built a chapel at his residence in the southwest Bohemian village of Lužany, and he wanted music by Dvořák for its consecration. Hlávka and Dvořák corresponded personally, and Dvořák was glad to seize upon this opportunity to write to Hlávka about the role his faith played in the Mass’s composition: Dvořák began his work with…
