The musical performance I attended was the Shepherd School Symphony Orchestra. The location of the performance was the Stude Concert Hall at Rice University. The concert hall was quite big it contained several seats which the central focus was the orchestra. Our seats were pretty close and were at a position which we could see the conductor’s face. The audience was dresses quite casual and some were dressed sharp.

I think it was a “pizzicato” is the instrument which I enjoyed because of the tunes and sounds that were illuminated. This instrument is what I think gave that romantic feeling in this piece. The following piece was one from Strauss, Till Eulenspiegel’s Merry Pranks. This piece opened up and I did not have an interest in this part of the performance. The piece seemed to be somewhat of a song were one could make a poem out of. The theme seemed kind of staggered and I really could not get a feel of the music. The part that I did enjoy was when the woodwinds and the strings played at one point together and what I think was a French horn too.

I could hear the difference of sound it created when it was being played. There was than an intermission and we were allowed to socialize a bit in the lobby. It was not too long until the second part started to begin.
