Report on a Concert

  I have attached the instructions. For the "Concerto for 3 Harpsichords in C Major", they used 3 keyboards instead of 3 harps. They also added an electric oboe to the stage. I can write about "Sonic Mania" and "Yuri on Ice", so just writing about first 4 pieces will be very helpful to me. CONCERT REPORT INSTRUCTIONS: As part of your course work, one concert report is required of a Classical music concert you attend during the course. Rock, Pop or Jazz concerts or concerts by high school groups are not acceptable. Students are not allowed to write about a concert in which they participate. College level and professional organizations and performers are acceptable. The program must be preapproved and it must be a concert that you know what the pieces to be performed are ahead of time for research purposes. There will be a Concert Report forum in Catalyst where you will need to tell the class about the concert you are attending. Again this must be a live performance that takes place during the current quarter. I had a student turn in a report based on a concert viewed on YouTube. Very unfortunate – please don’t even ask about doing a report on a recorded or online concert performance. Do, however, use YouTube, Naxos and other web recourses to research the pieces on your concert before attending. You also might find it valuable to listen to your pieces as you write your paper! In your email describing the concert and asking for approval do not include a link but instead summarize the information from the link. In your email tell me name of the group or performer, the date and most importantly what pieces will be performed. It is important that you know what pieces are being performed ahead of time so you can do some research and be prepared. TYPES: A variety of concerts are possible i.e. SOLO RECITALS (voice or instrumental), CHORAL GROUPS, ORCHESTRA, CONCERT BANDS, CHAMBER MUSIC, EARLY MUSIC GROUPS, CONTEMPORARY MUSIC GROUPS. Opera and Ballet performances are not appropriate for the report unless you are able to write 10 -15 pages of work. If in doubt consult with Mr. Tayerle. THE BODY OF THE REPORTS MUST BE TYPED SINGLE SPACE, 2 TO 3 FULL PAGES IN LENGTH, BUT NOT MORE THAN 3 PAGES. 1500 – 2000 words minimum. YOU MUST REPORT ON THE ENTIRE CONCERT. THE SIZE OF TYPE (FONT) SHOULD BE NO SMALLER THAT 10 AND NO LARGER THAN 12. NORMAL MARGIN WIDTH SHOULD BE USED ON THE RIGHT AND LEFT SIDES OF THE PAGE. DESCRIBE EACH PIECE AND EACH MOVEMENT. On separate page that does not count toward the word or page count paste a photo of your concert ticket and a photo of the stage after the performance. Pictures are not allowed to be taken during most concerts and please make sure your phone (and you) does not make noise during the performance. FORMAT:
