NYC Field Trip - May 8 Concert at St. Paul's Chapel

On Monday, May 8th, the Keyboard Orchestra watched a live performance in Manhattan. It was a live musical performances that usually happens during the night time but it  happened during the afternoon, around the time when people are on their lunch breaks. The group that performed was the New York Baroque Incorporated. The performance happened in St. Paul’s Chapel, an old church which has been there for a long time.The name of the concert was Bach at One.

As students of st Benedicts prep, we went to watch a live performance. we could have watched it on youtube. Watching something from Youtube is way different from watching it live. When you are  watching something live, you get to see all the things that aren’t shown on Youtube. When you are watching it on youtube, you just experience some little stuff and you only listen to the music. When you are watching them live, you must give the musicians your undivided attention. When i am watching the pieces being played, i meditate on how or what they are doing and i be having questions everywhere. At the end of the day, We watched what is true of watching a performance, live.
