I have a recorded cello performance on TV atm, which I am listening to as I am doing other stuff.
The music is nice, but occasionally I glance up and the cellist is putting his heart and soul into it. The emotion is clear on his face and in his posture.
The problem is, it looks like he is struggling with a really difficult dump. There are moments of strain, moments of elation and moments of despair. 
It's a bit much to watch. I've put something between me and the TV screen now! |

You need to go to a live performance of something that has loud and fast as well as soft and slow (Tchaikovsky's Nutcracker is always good entertainment). Sit near the front centre and watch the conductor have a fit to the rhythm!
Its like watching a frenetic puppet theater being operated by someone with a real bad dose of the shakes! 
Of course you also get to be immersed in the most wonderful sounds ever!  |

This is a 2 Cellos concert. They do a variety of stuff. It looks like they are having seizures for some of it. And one of them is excellent at gurning. It's fantastic
I'm really enjoying their versions of some popular songs too. They did two U2 tracks which were great. |

Should have added try and see a 'guest conductor' as they nearly always have a better fit that the orchestra's principal conductor. 
I'm next going to the Halle on the 2/4 for an afternoon concert.  |

Sounds good.
I'm getting a threefer with this because both cellists are having seizures, plus the conductor
And one of the cellists is hot-ish too.

Have you been to see the Norwich Philharmonic? |

"Just been looking on their website unreserved tickets (pay at the door) £6 and most expensive season ticket £48!"
I can only go at times when I'm capable of concentrating and sitting still for the required time. |

You dont have to concentrate on the music, you just let it wash over you and that feeds your soul...
I regularly see students at the halle afternoon concerts reading books ( generally take a novel with me and if I'm at the back of the hall I quite often read and no one objects). |

I do need to sit still though. I find that difficult. |

The guys from 2 Cellos are brilliant. Have you heard their cover of Highway To Hell with Steve Vai?
If you want to see a real facial workout by a musician just watch any of Gary Moore's live performances. I'm pretty sure he was also an expert gurner! |
