Its not every day when you go to a concert and experience a breathtaking performance yet alone six outstanding performances! On April,21 2006 the aliveness of the concertino and the dramatic feel of the soprano vocals, just gave the pianos and saxophones a dramatic feel from the beginning to the end of the program.

The program started with the flute and the piano which just opened the program with a slow movement which was lyrical and beautiful. From the start my sense were just locked in the to the players eyes and instruments, by the middle of the piece I found my self smiling in amazement. I couldn't under stand how to two players could sound like six, and how the texture and tonality just came together like if there were married

The fourth act was one I didn't really admire as much. I thought the alto saxophone player was just bit overconfident, but very attentive at his best rendering his poetic sounds, both in the modal melodic harmonic concatenation to the attacks, harmonics and the wide range of dynamics he used . The player expressed his music like if he was talking to the crowd with the music and his gestures just made the music come alive. The gestures and the expressions reminded me of some thing like the fastastiqus symphony by Berlioz in 1830, because of the movements and dynamics in his music.

One of the acts that got me was andante allegro with the piano and trombone. It was awesome somehow the players communicated it was like they were sending messages to each other while they were playing. The artist looked confident and the music was played fluent but at times the trombone seemed to be a little to loud no letting the piano express its self to its full potential. Later on in the middle the piano just unmasked its self from the trombone and just surprised me in the way he delivered it's self.

The whole program was just perfect how it just unraveled it self act for act and it was brilliant how it just came together at t he end. The players were just so ambitious the music spoke for its self. I the future I see my self coming to more of these events to experience and explore more different kinds of music styles and pieces as well as artist.
