LeFrak Concert Hall at Queens College - a criticism on a show given by the Nota Bene Cotemporary Ensemble

Nota Bene Contemporary Ensemble I attended a concert given by the Nota Bene Contemporary Ensemble on December 6th, 2001, in the LeFrak Concert Hall at Queens College. Michael Lipsey and Hubert S. Howe Jr direct the Ensemble. This concert was different than any concert I've ever seen before. For one thing, there really isn't a conductor, except for two pieces. I guess this is because it wasn't really a whole orchestra, only a couple of instruments …

…at the same time, yet they were blending to make one. This concert was definitely one I will never forget. All of the pieces were very eccentric, things I've never heard before. I'm very glad that I was able to be exposed to this Contemporary music. Now I have a better understanding of some more of the different types of music there is out there in the world and the different ways of playing it.
