[ORDER SOLUTION] Concert Project and Report
The Concert Project Watch a video of a live concert performance pertaining to the Western European Art Music tradition (also known as Classical Music) This may be a concert you find on the internet, a Blu-ray or DVD of a concert, or a compilation of several shorter videos equaling at least 75 minutes of music. The videos must be of people performing the music live where you can see them performing the music no audio only recordings, still pictures while the music is playing, or videos where you cannot see the performers playing the music live. A complete live opera performance may count as your concert. A ballet performance may also count focusing on how the music helps tell the story and set the mood for the dances. A musical such as Hamilton or Wicked may only count as an extra credit concert after you have done the required classical concert. No movie versions of musicals are allowed. The performers must be of professional or college level no high school, middle school, or grade school performances. I will have suggestion in our class channel under a separate YouTube playlist The Concert Report Must be typewritten in clear 10-12 point type font (no fancy fonts please), double-spaced (but no extra spacing before or after paragraphs), at least 2 ½ pages long.
