First classical concert
On January 30th, there was a concert held in the orange county auditorium. The name of the concert was "Elegant Sounds Of the Eminent Classical Orchestra". Upon arrival, I had felt a bit underdressed. Looking around I had noticed that most everyone was very formally dressed. After taking my seat mid-center, I began to look around at the stage. There was a huge orchestra and everyone was dressed in black and was ready to play their instruments. A woman in a shiny black dress with long hair had welcomed, and thanked everyone for being there that night. The concert had finally begun, and it would be one of the most relaxing concerts that I have ever attended.The first piece that was played was by Bela Bartok. It was called the, "Joc Cu Bata," which meant a "stick game". The lady told us that the man who had produced this piece was Hungarian. At the start of the piece, very nice violins were being played.

It was a ballet from the 1900's in New York called, "Variations on a Shaker Melody. The piece after this was called, "Golliwog's Cakewalk," and was by Claude Debussy. they all came together to make music that sounded yet powerful but still bringing a sense of relaxation to the listener, which I thought was very amusing. This was my favorite event of the concert because of the beautiful voices that came together to blend in to form one beautiful sound.
