I really loved listening to several of the great leading orchestras in the country. The two that I enjoyed listening to the most was the “New York Philharmonic-Symphony Orchestra” and the more local “Dallas Symphonic Orchestra”. The “NYPO” is a part of the Big Five Orchestras; leading in "musical excellence and calibre of musicianship” (1). What I liked most about these two groups was that they did not seem to stick to the general composers such as Boch and Chopin, and a lot of what I saw played were composed by someone still alive today. “Focusing on the composer as a solitary genius belies the nature of music making as an essentially social act” (2). What I understood from this is that we should not focus solely on the composer but instead on the actual music and I believe both these orchestras do just that.

I think that they both are innovating music by picking pieces by composers that are alive and relevant and by including more women in the pieces that are picked

I think I did. By playing a wide variety of songs I think that it allows people to actually be able to see themselves in the music.

With these two orchestras I felt that they allowed me to experience a diversity of song selection but I would have still liked to have heard more fast paced songs.

When I was going through some of the music that they were playing I didn't really see anything left out. I still heard the customary composers like Beethoven but I also got to hear music composed by the actual conductors and other american composers.
