My First Classical Concert,What Can I Expect
During a frantic passage, a trombone slide gets propelled with great velocity. Over the band, past the stage, row 1, row 2…until it hits someone in row 6 😉
??? My First Classical Concert,What Can I Expect ???
In my 65 years I've been to somewhere around 1000 rock/blues/reggae concerts..I've seen them all at one time or another,Led Zepp,The Stones,The Who,Pink Floyd,Carlos Santanna,SRV,BB King,Marley,Tosh,Cliff & on & on..
But in all those concerts,I've never been to a Classical Concert..Well I decided to change that & am going to my first one in early June..Nothing big time,our small town symphony performing Bachs Brandenburg Concerto's at one of the bigger churches of about 500 seats..
We'll be 6 rows from the stage,second & third seats in from center isle..In all the concerts I've ever been to,I don't ever recall listening for imaging or staging or micro detail or any of the things I sometimes listen for at home..I'm curious what I can expect regarding the Acoustics & if I get into critical listening mode what to look for as far as the technical aspects of the performance..
Am I overthinking this adventure,should I just sit back & let the experience flow whatever direction it takes?What are your thoughts?
