attended prior to my departure for Afghanistan is a jazz concert at the Richmond Library. The concert was performed by the Richmond Youth Jazz Guild and the event was free. My youngest son has been performing with the Jazz Guild since 2010 and they are some of the most talentant kids. I physical don’t remember the date and time but the start time was 8:00 p.m. This music selection on this night was from Miles Davis; one of the greatest jazz performers of all times. The night was very calm, everyone

Have you ever wondered how Benny Goodman, one of the best jazz musicians in the 1930’s, became so famous? Goodman’s climb to success might not have been easy at the time but was very worthwhile.

Benny Goodman’s childhood is very different than the typical childhood we think of today. “Goodman was the ninth child of Russian immigrants David and Dora Rezinsky Goodman” (“Benny

Reaction Paper: Raul Sunico Premiere Concert On 22 February, 2015, Dr. Raul Sunico performed a premier concert at the Old Senate Hall at the National Museum of the Philippines. He opened the show with a Polonaise form the opera, “Eugene Onegin” followed by the first-time performance of three concertos by Tchaikovsky. It was a sure privilege of mine to have attended a concert that showcased an actual breakthrough in music history done by our very own dean Dr. Raul Sunico. It did not occur to

was extremely enjoyable, I only thought a couple of bands were great. The way that this concert works is they have one or two big band names to bring people to the show and use those bands as the reason to come and see all the other little bands. It promotes all the lesser known country artists. Some of the lesser know artists were pretty entertaining, but lacked in comparison to the real stars of the concert. Most of the music was very down to earth and very enjoyable. When a song is made for the

Shadows Ablaze by Kathryn Salfelder, Sound Asleep by Andrew Boss, Wanderlust by Brandon Scott Rumsey, and Aurora Awakes by John Mackey.

Although he originally trained as an opera singer, he found his calling to the Jewish faith and began to perform in synagogues. This project of

Choral Concert Report This concert was performed on December 6 at the Performance Hall Mountain View College. Before the concert I was not interested in this event. When I read the title, I thought that a choral was bored. I have to say that this concert was wonderful. Although I enjoyed the guitar and piano concert, this concert is the best. Their voices, their movements, and also their attitudes make this concert my favorite concert. In event was called Winter Choral Festival which the participation

On September 12, I visited the Club Down Under from 9:30 p.m.-10:30 p.m. to view the band Desgraciadas at a multi-band concert. The audience was primarily college-aged hipster Caucasians. The venue was dark, with misty lighting centered on the stage. The audience of hipsters seemed appropriate for the venue- an underground local Tallahassee band. The band consisted of four members. Gladys Nobriga, the guitarist and Amanda Kirchen, the drummer both sported black and white outfits complete with suspenders
