After either attending a live concert or watching a full length concert online, write a critique of the performance following the format below.
Here are a few examples of full length concerts you can find online (by conducting a web search using the criteria below) that could be used for this assignment:
Coldplay Live In Boston 2012 (Full Concert DVD) Sting: If on a winters night-Live from Durham Cathedral 2009 (watch all 14 songs on concert) Eric Clapton, Jeff Beck, Jimmy Page, Ron Wood, Bill Wyman, Jan Hammer, Charlie Duke Ellington The Great Paris Concert Richard Galliano/Winton Marsalis – Billie Holiday meets Edith PIAF Wynton Marsalis and the Lincoln Jazz Center Orchestra @ The BBC Proms 2004 Johnny Cash & Willie Nelson, Amazing stuff! Loretta Lynn — You\’re Looking At Country – Legends In Concert
You may choose a different concert video to watch, but be sure you include the URL of the concert you chose in your critique, or scan the program of the live concert you attended and attach it. The musical style of the concert should include at least one of the genres studied in this course. Country, Jazz, Rock and roll, hip hop, popular music, etc.
The Concert Critique should be 2.5 pages long, double spaced. It should contain five paragraphs that describe the following aspects of the concert you attended:
1. Who are the performers? Give the title of the concert and write something about the performers. Is it an orchestra? A choir? An ensemble? Solo artists? Why did you choose to attend this particular performance? Tell as much as you know about the musicians that performed are they professionals? Students? Teachers? How long have they been performing? Etc. 2. Describe the music that was performed on the concert. Use the musical characteristics that we have been learning in class. What genre is the music (opera aria? Jazz song? Standard tune? Solo instrument piece? Symphony?) 3. What style period was the music written in? What was the tempo, dynamics, texture, etc.? Sometimes the music in a concert will be only one genre. Sometimes there will be several genres performed. Attach the program to your critique, and then refer to the titles in the program. For example: Autumn Leaves was performed by a small instrumental ensemble (guitar, bass, and percussion). It is a standard contemporary tune. The tempo was a moderately slow ballad. It had a very mellow sound 4. Tell how well you think the performers interpreted the music that was on the concert. Were the singers in tune? Did the piano player play musically and rhythmically? Do you think the performers communicated the music as it was meant to be communicated by the composer? 5. Tell which pieces or part of the concert was most moving or enjoyable for you. If you didnt enjoy the concert very much, tell why you didnt enjoy it. What could have been better? Be as specific as you can when expressing your opinion of the performance dont just write generalities like It was nice or it made me feel like dancing. Tell why the music made you feel like dancing. Write about why you particularly enjoyed that part of the concert. 6. Conclude your critique by summing up the performance and telling us if you would go to hear these performers again or would invite your friends or family to hear this performance/performers.

How does the repertoire you\’ve chosen relate to issues of race, class, gender, sexuality, or other definers of identity? Bear in mind that while lyrics and performance are important, you must address musical issues as well.

This is an important section as your audience will need to know if they will invest in your strategy as they see your SWOT go into action. I like how you did your SWOT and gave examples for each item. I will push you a bit in terms of giving us more information which can be quantified. If you state, for example, \”The fact that Ascension Health is limiting its coverage in United States only is limiting. Furthermore, when compared to other health organizations, it appears that this organization has weak branding,\” then talk about each more here so you can create a good action plan to fix their branding or why/how they are limited with thier focus. Be specific, but overall a good job with SWOT. What actions should they take in EACH category is missing. Look at each SWO and T and come up with a defined action plan for the item and what it will take to push them forward. How can they take advantage of S and O, while limiting/reinforcing with actions, T and W? Be specific and begin to think of how you will quantify each action item. Remember to add as much proof for each item/topic as your audience will need solid support from you in the end for any recommendations you might offer. Push your thoughts forward a bit into \”what if\” your SWOT\’s resultant action plan doesn\’t turn out the way you thought, and what will you incorporate into the plan. Next week take your SWOT again and resultant action plan to build up some financial assumptions that make strategic sense based upon where this entity is currently, where they expect to go, what might change and what may not, how they will plan for demographic shifts, and what research supports these assumptions/changes from a financial vantage; lead your audience into your final presentation with some validated recommendations based upon everything you have presented so far. What will they do over a 3-5 year timeframe to support your SWOT findings, specifically? Once we do a SWOT we take the best of the best and support it, and then look at mitigating the negative by taking action based on our goals. This was a big miss for this section which you will need in a BIG way for Week 4\’s financial section. You allude to this in general in some SWOT portions, but come up with an actual 3-5 year goal list and what they will do or will avoid based on your analyses  

Search for multinational companies that operate in Bosnia.Examine FIVE different companies. Go to the websites of your selected companies and examine their international business activity. What percentage of revenues did these companies derive from their foreign operations in the last two most recent fiscal years? Is their foreign activity increasing or decreasing? What explanations, if any, has the company offered for this increase or decrease in their foreign activity? Where are the headquarters of each company located? Is the recent trend in the value of your country’s currency that you saw in #3 expected to have a favorable or unfavorable impact on your selected company? Why do you think so? You should be able to find the required data in each company’s financial statements which you can locate in their websites in the investor relations sections (SEC filings).  Consider Bosnia and its trading partners. Based on your review of the Economist, the Wall Street Journal, the Financial Times and other similar periodicals, which of these countries is having currency problems? List 5 countries. What are the causes of those currency problems? If you cannot find any current problems then search and summarize the most recent currency problems for your country and its partners. BELOW ARE THE WEBSITES THAT ARE HELPFULResources/References.
