It's 2017 already, but the tides are still shifting. en-us 2017-09-20 18:03:19 UTC 2023-02-08 06:33:40 UTC hello@padlet.com veneziaguzman https://padlet.com/veneziaguzman/ysccrxddjz5a/wish/189491354 As it was founded in 1903, this symphony has begun to show a slight change from the typical Western Composer oriented pieces with the inclusion of a few other ethnicities. But, female composers are slim to none in this listing.

This re-imagination of such a key piece with a classical opera twist is a truly ingenious way to attract more people to come in and listen to symphony music.]]> 2017-09-20 18:51:04 UTC https://padlet.com/veneziaguzman/ysccrxddjz5a/wish/189497774 veneziaguzman https://padlet.com/veneziaguzman/ysccrxddjz5a/wish/189502588 The Colorado Symphony orchestra does a lot of outreach programs even outside of its community. This performance at Comic Con shows just how far they're willing to go to introduce people to the merits of keeping the orchestra business alive and encourage more viewer-ship. ]]> 2017-09-20 19:00:45 UTC https://padlet.com/veneziaguzman/ysccrxddjz5a/wish/189502588 veneziaguzman https://padlet.com/veneziaguzman/ysccrxddjz5a/wish/190644866 Of course, no symphony orchestra would be complete without the Classics especially such a famous composer like Mozart. Below that is a modern composition designed in the classical style and mentions one of the composers work on famous movies to entice people to give these new pieces a chance..]]> 2017-09-25 01:10:25 UTC https://padlet.com/veneziaguzman/ysccrxddjz5a/wish/190644866 veneziaguzman https://padlet.com/veneziaguzman/ysccrxddjz5a/wish/190648712 Honestly? I don't really think anything is missing. From kids programs, movie/videogame soundtracks, modern music, and popular music from around the world (Latino, Asian, etc...) these guys have either had it or are planning on doing it.

When we work to understand the social contexts from which great works of music arise, we can engage with it in a way that is both empowering and inclusive."

I mean it was cool that they feature John Williams 'cause I love his contributions to Movies and Pop Culture, but they don't have him in a TRex costume like Colorado did. :/]]> 2017-09-25 02:59:41 UTC https://padlet.com/veneziaguzman/ysccrxddjz5a/wish/190658566 veneziaguzman https://padlet.com/veneziaguzman/ysccrxddjz5a/wish/190658842 Yes! A thousand times, yes! I absolutely adore soundtracks for just about anything. And it's absolutely amazing how much effort is put into catering to fans like me. My mom took my sibling and me to go watch a live orchestra perform some of the Star Wars soundtrack back in 2013 and I went to the Pokemon Symphonic Evolutions performance in Dallas with some friends. I'd love to go to something similar again! ]]> 2017-09-25 03:01:42 UTC https://padlet.com/veneziaguzman/ysccrxddjz5a/wish/190658842
