The music that the Chamber Orchestra Kremlin with Emanuel Borok performed was like going to the Dallas Symphony Orchestra, but shrunken down into the UTD auditorium. It took place on Friday 8:00 p.m., February 5th at the Success Center Auditorium which had a strong resonating sound that could be heard from late comers and bathroom breakers.
The seats were more filled than the last concert I attended, but never the less audience consisted of mainly seniors, students, and oddly enough middle aged men and women who seem to be actively dating. I never thought dating at college programs was the convention people, but I guess its part of the college experience to learn this.
The performers consisted of both male and female, with guys in blue collared shirts and ladies with blue blouses. The uniformity in a way added to feeling that you were hearing one thing when in actuality there were about seventeen performers. The stage was arranged so that the conductor was in the center and all the instruments were grouped with similar instrumentation.
One of the movements in their first piece seemed to have a waltz like quality. I think it was in Triple Meter with a Simple Meter. But most of the songs had a Duple and Simple Meter. The music overall was soothing, although some pieces seem to be quite tense and interesting. The music had different styles when varying between movements. This is a type of Art Music, which I wouldn’t mind listening on the radio.
