Alexander String Quartet

Baruch College has a recital hall. That was probably the most shocking news I heard all year. I thought maybe the concert was just be in a room where they just happened to set up music stands. I had no idea we had an actual hall. When I saw this hall, it actually gave me hope as a Weismenn major. Sometimes the school focuses so much on Zicklin, it seems they lose sight of everyone else. So, seeing this recital hall, I already went into this concert with a positive attitude. Each of the three sections composed of beautiful music.

The Alexander String Quartet provided a completely different experience than the China Festival’s Class of 78’ performance did at Carnegie Hall. Even though the concert hall at Carnegie Hall was lavish and intimate, I actually felt closer to the performers at the Baruch Performing Art Center. It was the first time I had seen the recital hall and was pleasantly surprised. As I continue to become accustomed to Baruch, I am always finding aspects of the building's architecture that I admire.

I was happy that one of this event was right here in Baruch. I was surprised to see that there were older people attending. I assumed it would have been students from Baruch or other campuses. The music was really beautiful. I admire the violin and other string instruments so much because I find it so incredibly hard. Not only do you have to know what to touch but you need to know how to play it. A lot of skill must be involved in that. I also really liked the kind of music. I find classical music to be so calming, yet thought provoking at the same time.

On Monday, November 16th the Alexander String Quartet was playing at Baruch's Performing Arts Center and the Guest artist was the viola player. They played Felix Mendelssohn's String Quartet in A minor and String Quintet in B-flat major and Robert Schumann's String Quartet in A minor. There were four musicians who played together throughout the entire concert.

As I had entered the Alexander Sting Quartet performance at Baruch I promised myself to break the everlasting love hate relationship between classical music and me. I decided to look for elements that I had never noticed before, something that will help me stay focus, and appreciate what I was presented with.

The Alexander String Quartet performance was done by obvious skilled professionals. From the moment they began, I noticed that their melodies were so in sync and pleasant to the ear. I noticed some techniques in particular of these 4 musicians. In one instance, 3 of the musicians would play the same tunes while one drew more attention than the others by subtly playing different notes.

music is great !

On Friday I decided to accompany my friend to watch her favorite musical artist, Ryan Leslie, perform at the Nokia Theatre in Times Square. To be honest, I wasn't exactly excited to go because I hardly listen to his music and I didn't think much of him as a musical artist. I thought he was an excellent musical producer but that was about it. After the concert on Friday, I have to say my whole perception as him as an artist completely changed. He is extremely talented not only did he sing beautifully but he also played multiple instruments such as the piano and guitar really well.

Carnegie Hall Concert

The concert at Carnegie Hall we went to last Monday was my first concert of that kind. I've been to concerts before but obviously the experinece you get from a concert at Carnegie Hall is way different then the one you get at a Metallica concert. I really enjoyed the concert at Carnegie Hall. I really was unsure whether or not it would interest me. When I walked into the room where the concert was being held, I was suprised that it was so small. I actually really liked the fact that it was a small auditorium. That room was beautiful.

Oriental spices to classical flavors

“Ancient Path Modern Voices” is a festival celebrating Chinese culture organized by Carnegie Hall. Attending it was an experience that changed my perspective on the classical music. I, who am not very fond of traditional music, because as I am not musically educated I do not understand it, liked it. To me, as the music does not have lyrics and most of the time is somewhat slow, it resembles a noise rather than a song. At the same time an oeuvre is not a song but a symphony.
