The size of the hall really allows the sound to travel all around. It really amplifies the sound and has really great acoustics.

In one of my favorite songs, Bogogroditse Devo by Rachmaninoff, one that I've discussed in this class before, the intended setting of this song is a cathedral like setting. this song when taken out of context is beautiful alone but upon being put into the intended religious context Rachmaninoff composed this for the voices when joined together literally sound like angels. one could see how this could enhance the performance. when I hear this song I can envision a stained glass window with the angel Gabriel speaking to Mary telling her that she was carrying the song of God. this is exactly what is depicted through the song when translated.

The neo-classical theater first opened its doors in 1914 and introduced the first Amateur Night contests in 1934, acting as a historical landmark for all musicians and tourists to view and explore. The theater itself has played a vital role in the emergence of jazz, swing, blues, gospel, etc - all being essential to what American music truly is.

All of these stages are spread across the outskirts of a national forest in Rothbury, Michigan. Next to the stages are art installations, and festival goers camp over these 4 days. All of the different types of music echoes throughout the forest.

The Lotus World Music & Arts Festival takes place annually in Bloomington, Indiana, where Indiana University is located. There are concerts and events in a number of locations in the downtown area, so can just move from one event to another. They bring in artists from many music traditions all over the world. And while you may assume that "Lotus" refers to an exotic flower, in fact the festival is named after Lotus Dickey (1911-1989) who was a local singer-songwriter from Orange County IN.

Red Rocks Amphitheatre is perhaps the most famous music venue in the state of Colorado. It is the only naturally-occurring outdoor music venue in the United States. That's right, this great music venue for rock concerts is also a work of Mother Nature. It is in the greater Denver area.

The Theatre location at the Lubbock Memorial Civic Center is a vast space that houses thousands of audience members and contains a massive stage for large ensembles or performances. I was able to perform for Die Fledermaus here and it was a wonderful atmosphere and sound.

One of the oldest traditions at Texas Tech, Carol of Lights is a great example of the importance of space and its relationship to musical performance. This even is often attended by 20,000+ people who gather to sign Christmas Carols prior to the lighting of the Texas Tech campus.

Red rocks amphitheater is an outdoor performance space carved into the rock structures in Morrison Colorado. The space itself has near-perfect acoustics and absolutely transforms every performance in the space. The combination of the surrounding setting in addition to the way the music is carried transforms live music.

This is the sanctuary for University United Methodist Church in San Antonio. I had the pleasure of singing in this church in 2019 and 2020 during a chamber choir competition. The reverb in this room is amazing. The sound hangs in the air for several seconds after cutoffs.
