In the newly build Concert Hall, the UMBC Department of Music
held a free Giving Thanks concert
open to everyone. It was a concert performed by Trio des Alpes; the Trio is
made up of three people, each playing a different instrument: clarinet, cello,
and the piano. During the concert, the Trio is joined by UMBC faculties that
used voice, clarinet, and the violin. The concert was different from concerts
by celebrities or super stars; this concert was performed with solely the Trio
and UMBC faculties, which means no other music or dances around the stage.
The concert started off with opera-like singing and music,
which was boring to me and almost made me leave, but didn't because it was only
the beginning. After the singing part, the Trio started to perform and that was
when I discovered the power of music. The songs that the Trio played consisted of
all different types of music: deep, high, fast, slow, sad, happy, etc. The
music I liked the most when they play were the music with fast and happy
melody, it relaxed my stresses and made me feel very peaceful and calm, which attracted
me to stay for the concert. After watching each part of the concert, I learned
something I never knew in my life before. I always knew we had to clap when
people finishes performing, but what I didn't know for these type of concert is
you had to keep clapping as the performers finishes, bows, and leaves, then the
performers will come back out on the stage to bow again and the clapping would
stop after the performers leave again. I never thought I could learn and
discover such helpful things from just a concert, so it was definitely worth it
to go to the concert.
