Today I have been to a concert in the Music Building. They have their own concert hall, called “Harris.” I have to watch four concerts and write concert reviews about them for my Music Appreciation class. The name of the concert was “Contemporary Chamber Players.” I did not know what “chamber players” do so I decided to attend this concert. This decision was probably my biggest mistake in the last two month (2 month ago I decided to take music appreciation). They started the concert with a 15 minutes guitar solo; the guitar imitated strange noises which hurt in my ears with a computer noise background. I told myself to calm down and to be open minded for “new” styles and genres that I am not familiar with. I wanted to give them a chance after this horrible start. But then they played noises that did not include any rhythm or melody with an entire orchestra. I was so annoying. That was no music, from my point of view. I heard a lot of weird stuff in my life but that was something special. After one hour of this torture they took a 15 minutes break in which I tried to come back to earth from that weird planet where they might like this music. I hoped that they would try something different in the second half of this concert but they did not. Their performance was so interesting, enjoyable, entertaining and “special” that I fell asleep after seven minutes. I could not stand it anymore. I know that that was disrespectful but I did not do it on purpose. The honest truth is that this was the most horrible concert I have ever been to. I am sorry to be so direct but I will not give these guys a nice critique if they do not deserve it. I am sure that they are all very good musicians but their style or their genre should be outlawed!
