Young musician suppose to be creative -Review from Kam ming’sconcert

Young musician suppose to be creative
-Review from Kam ming’sconcert
Tangrenzhu
Kam Ning is a Singapore violist who has been considered a marvelous prodigy especially in interpret the contemporary music. Telegraph described Ning as a violinist with ”much flair plus a totally confident stage presence and an absolute command of the music”.

She definitely boiled the whole Yong Siew Toh conservatory concert hall last Friday and conquest the audiences with her formidable technique even far above our expectation.
The reason why we didn’t pay too much attention for her, which is she is too young and we didn’t hear her concert previously. But we definitely changed our opinions when we heard her silky sound and assured playing.

The concert programmes she provided are four contemporary pieces-“Road movies” composed by John Adams, Distant light” composed by Peteris Vasks, ”amazing grace” composed by John Newton and “café music” composed by Paul Schoenfield.

She also invited Qin Li Wei (cellist), Bernard Lanskey (pianist) and Conservatory Strings for the concert that highly promotes the concert.

I would like to say, the”road movies” shows her formidable technique and the “amazing grace” shows her composition talent, but the most great piece I appreciate which is “distant light” and I’m quite honest that I can involve this piece for accompaniment. The piece typically shows Kam Ming is absolutely a sensitive for the music and the music detail she processed is highly professional. For instance, we observed that she made few seconds silence after the climax of the piece, which is far enhancing the music.

Kam ming reflect a kind of spirit in this period which is creative and lively. Not only her assured playing but also the pieces she choose and arranged.
For young musician, they suppose to think about what kind of music that can represent our period and what are the characters these are.

Do you think he is too young to conduct?

Do you think he is too young to conduct?

This is the link for: Gustavo Dudamel leads El Sistema's top youth orchestra.I strongly agree that he is a fantastic and mature conductor and obsoleted suitable for lead some top orchestra.Gustavo Dudamel was born in 1981 and he has a lot of amazing experience for his conduct career. He had been invited from many great music festival and top orchestra. and his music career has already around the world . He also has been consider one of the greatest conductor in the world.

In my opinion,nobody will think he is too young to be a good conductor.As we all know,classical music never lack of genius and prodigy,for example: Mozart,Schubert.....they became classical master although they were just twenty years old.

.Gustavo Dudamel is a quite typical genius musician and now he is already 29 years old and he has plenty of experiences to be a leader of some top orchestra.As I know,he has been the invited for conductor by Los Angeles orchestra instead of a Finnish conductor.

For this video, we can observe how ebullient he is and every orchestra player and audience had been toughing by his passional. He has the most important character for a great conductor which is can highly affect to people.

I believe Gustavo Dudamel's music career will become more and more brilliant and will present more and more great concert and album to us!

again

The relationship between composer and audience is complex and flexible.

Composers always urge to exhibits his new work to audiences. However the final effection is received from audience's reaction, since the audience listened by the feeling instead of experiencing the motive of the composer. Thus, performer have obligation to connect both side. whoever you are, understanding the purpose the composer is the only way doing piece flawless and makeing audience satisfied.

In this case, performers and audiences can become the partners of the composers, like adag e says:"To understand is to equal".

The relationship between composer and audience

I would like to introduce the relationship between composer and audience which is extremely complex and flexible.
First of all,A composer definitely what to share his work to the audience when it has been complete. But the final fate of the piece not only depend on the composer but also the audiences.
Does the audience really can understand the value of the piece and how will they react?
Actually,a lot of audiences do not know the true meaning of the piece and how marvelous the composer's idea is. The just believe their first hearing which is the perform.
So,the performer become a bridge that try to connect the composer and audience which is extremely important.
Last I want to say is both of performer and audience suppose to know the real value of the piece that the performer can do it flawless and the audience can have a kind of guarantee.
If these things happened, then the audience can become a partner with composer just like a famous adage: to understand is to equal

how music make you feel?

Bach said:" the music is my religion."

Beethoven said:" I use music to tell people I can hold the throat of life" .

What's the music means to me? I think music is a kind of way to show my emotion and mind.

Music is not abstract, it can touch people's soul even you can not real read the score. For example,my friend can not read the score,but he is a fantastic singer. is that very weird? he just sing with his memory. But we real can feel his emotion.He said:" I use music to show my emotion, that's the best way although I can't read the note, Maybe that's the magic of music"
I also want to tell people who are learning music, music is not everything for us. Just like the film is the art for vision, music is the art for hearing. It's just a kind of way which can make our life more interesting and exciting. Why I mention this point? Because some people who learning music are quite crazy . Even they believe the music is their whole life and they can't live without music. Everything is for music include: living,working, eating,sleeping. I think that's totally opposite. Music suppose serve to us.

At last ,I would like to introduce a artist who really can make audience enjoy his music --Kreisler.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sH9ovrZeZKw&feature=related .You can hear his sound is really warm and emotional and we really can "enjoy" his music although it is not a hard piece. I always use this piece for relax.

At last,I think we really need think about why we listen music and learn music? what music really

make you feel? try to hear Kreisler's album, maybe you can find the really answer.
