Start earning Bonus Credit!

Tonight you can watch TV and be on your way to earning those 5 extra points this quarter! On Channel 13, there are two concert performances that you can watch and write a 1 paragraph review.

At 8, the New York Philharmonic presents its Opening Night Concert with soloist Renee Fleming. It's LIVE, not pre-recorded.

At 10, there is a pre-recorded concert by the Vienna Philharmonic from their Summer concert series in Austria.

If you would like to check off the Concert Attendance portion of the Bonus Points option, write a short paragraph after viewing one of these concerts. The paragraph should answer the following:
1. Who was performing?
2. Who was conducting?
3. When did the concert take place?
4. Where did the concert take place?
5. What pieces were performed?
6. If you were sending a short email to the conductor, what would say about the concert? Was the music well-played? Were the musical selections well chosen? What would you have done differently if you had had to conduct the same concert?
