The concert review should be 2.5 to 3 complete double-spaced pages (size 12 New Times Roman font, with 1 inch right and left margins). The rubric below should be followed carefully.

Performers, Location, Time of concert, Length of concert
Who are the performers, where was the concert performed and at what time? (Include all pertinent information, even if you observed a virtual concert. Please state whether the concert was live or virtual. If virtual, add the supporting URL or website). Concerts observed should be a minimum of 75 minutes in length.)
Composer and composition.
Who is/are the composer(s) of the composition(s) reviewed and when was the composition written during the composer’s life? (Identify events in the composer’s life that may have inspired the composer or influenced him/her in composing the work(s) discussed?
Programmatic of non-programmatic music?
Is the composition programmatic (e.g., is it BASED on a cultural event, literary work, a story, an individual, an historical event, a work of visual art, a natural or geographic event or any other non-musical event)? If so, in what ways does the music express the non-music event on which it is based? How does the composer accomplish this? What aspects of the music makes you think about the thing it is based on?
Scholarly interpretations.
How have at least three researchers or scholars described/interpreted this composition AND its historical or cultural relevance? Please cite these three sources in your bibliography, which should be on an additional page.) Summarize their opinions. In the body of your paper, you should put the author’s name and page number or the URL for complete online sources. In the bibliography include the authors, the year of publication, the title of the article, the name of the original source in case the article was taken from a book or chapter, and the page number of the original source, and in parathesis the date you accessed the material. The URL should be included if the material is taken directly from a website or another online source. You will be given 10 points for each source.
