New York Philharmonic performence review

It is said that new york philharmonic will visit Singapore this year and some of crew will give our school's students a masterclass before this semester begin. Actually I was shocked since this "bomb news" came out, fortunately, this news comes true, not only the masterclass but also two stunning performance will show on at Esplanade.

I have adored this orchestra for very long time, they always give audience a great performance, besides, one of world best trombonist Joseph Alessi is a member of this orchestra. so exciting. This time new york philharmonic present Brahms D Major Violin Concerto and Mahler symphony no.1

As for me, I think this performance is brilliant, because, I love Mahler's symphony, especially no.2 no.3 and no.7, I haven't study music history or music theory before, so I can't analysis it theoretically. but as a amateur, musical is most important thing, the more musical and melody infuse in the piece, the more popular( I know this sentence is a big grammar mistake even can't understand, but I don't know how to fix it...) Mahler symphony, combine with deep thought and musical, plus performed by all talented artist, that's the reason I like it so much~

Talking about QI ZHANG

Hi everyone! sorry for long time with nothing update, the mid-term project was killing me! too many thing to do in last week, so I had to put a lot of thing behind, including sacrifice my major, wow, what a stupid bold decision!

Anyway, let's have a short discussion about QI ZHANG

Without doubt she is a talent young girl, as a musician, she gives all audience a great performance. Although I am not a expert on electrical organ, I can feeling and understand what QI ZHANG want to bring to us with her own music.

Only things that I don't like is I thinks this music that she was playing should be more dynamic, the whole music sometimes sounds little peaceful. but all in all I still love her music

Introduction

Hi, everybody. Welcome to my new blog.

Actually, I'm quite don't like spending time on blogging, not only wasting time but also don't know what to say at it. I've tried to persist in blogging many times, at the end, failed... because some times I spend half day on that, too concentrating, too much time and not worth it. Although today I'm still not want to do this, but ah... it's compulsory, imposed by english curriculum, no blog no grade... so ah... based on that circumstance, hope I can discover some real fun of blogging...

This time, just a few introduction of myself.

My name is Zhang Yiliang, also Daniel Chang, so you can call me DAN if you like it. and I'm 18 years old, and now I'm study at the faculty of Yong Siew Toh Conservatory of Music Bachelor degree, trombone major. About the reason that why I choose here, definitely is the campus and the great facility! I still remember Dr. Koo told us, some famous conservatory in America such as Juilliard and Curtis, the facility especially the practice room and seminar room just like bunch of crap... haha, that sounds not good, but the good thing is, I'm very lucky being choose here studying for four years.

Ok, although I wanna say more, it's too late now. A good instrument player needs a good high quality sleep. so ah... haha , good excuse! but don't be worry, I will tell my the rest of my detail in future.
