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~

  1. New York Philharmonic Orchestra is really amazing. Alan Gilbert's conducting is very clear yet beautiful. I can feel whatever he wants from his facial expressions and hand gestures. We are so lucky to get to see them perform from the choir seat. Thanks YST !!!

  2. Sounds like you had a great time Dan.

    'the music is the most important thing, the more music and melody are infused in the piece, the more enjoyable it is for me'

    I think that is what you wanted to say. You needed articles and pronouns, grammar points we have been doing in class:)

    Glad you enjoyed the performance - you will be on the same stage one day!!
