Digital Environment Field Notes of Atlanta Symphony Orchestra

Built Environment Descriptions, Field Notes

 

As I started to gaze at the site ……immediately on the main website…..        http://www.atlantasymphony.org/

 

Observances

  • Musical
  • Artistic
  • I see a calendar
  • Entertainment
  • Seems formal
  • Chamber recital event going to happen
  • the march music madness where the prices are a lot lower than normal
  • Robert Spano (he looks weird, just creepy) will receive a “Champion of NEw Music Award”
  • The decorator’s house
  • Dinner and a concert
  • Many links to other sites (CONCERTS & TICKETS, PLAN YOUR VISIT, LISTEN & WATCH, EDUCATION & COMMUNITY, ABOUT, GIVING, Q)  The links to other places stand out so the people would search into it and know it is there without becoming confused.
  • Plenty of information to go to if confused

  •  Søndergård Conducts Berlioz, Ravel, and Debussy

Thoughts

  • Why does it have to start so intense…I guess to grab the audiences attention….those being maybe…professional musicians, people who want to be entertained by music, someone wanting to do something different then they would normally do in their life, educators, those music students.
  • A lot of options ..different concerts you can choose to go to for different experiences
  • Its expensive
  • The links to other places stand out so the people would search into it and know it is there without becoming confused and also many things stand out to grab the attention of people in general so they attend these concerts and events at least that is what I think
  • Anyone can go, but I would suggest not bringing small children it is not made for them

My experience

  • I went one time and it was very formal(I wore a fancy dress), its serious, with insanely good musicians; where real, live music is played, different good experience

Beautiful Miracle of the Virgin Mary on the window of the Bishop Hall in Transfiguration Catholic Church
Beautiful Miracle of the Virgin Mary appearing on the window of the Bishop Hall in Transfiguration Catholic Church

This miracle occurred December 12, the day of La Virgen de Guadalupe. Before that there was nothing on that window, and nobody made that (I know because I go here); it it very outlined when seeing it in person and looks just like The Virgin Mary and has stayed on there for 3 months and going. She looks like she is praying with her hands together with her head sort of down concentrating on the prayer.

(Interior) Built Environment ~ Helping the poor In Transfiguration Catholic Church

The Poor Box

The two baskets that help those in need

I saw two giant baskets to put the items that are needed such as canned foods mostly, and other items being collected for those in poverty. I also see how money is being collected in this beautifully gold designed called”Poor Box” to use that money to help the poor.
