Blog #6: The Beauty of a Concert

 When discussing beauty, the first thing that comes to mind is concerts. Concerts have long been spaces where music transcends mere entertainment, inviting us to explore deeper dimensions of existence. As the crowd begins to gather, a sense of community emerges, a shared pulse that unites diverse individuals coming together through a shared artform. Kant’s idea of community is reflected in the atmosphere of a concert. He believed that community arises from making distinctions yet finding unity, much like how a concert crowd, though made up of individuals with different stories and perspectives, comes together in harmony with the music. As the audience moves to the rhythm, each person finds their unique place and moment, yet they are connected by the collective experience. This shared movement and moment create a bond among the attendees, and the music acts as a bridge, linking their individual experiences into a collective narrative. Whether it’s the energetic punk rock of Green Day or the soulful strains of a ballad, the music guides this communal journey, shaping a space where everyone’s existence is interlinked. If you have ever been to a performance held by an artist you love you'll know exactly what I am talking about. That feeling that rushes over you when you and a million other hearts are singing in an off-key harmony to lyrics that resonate with you and transcend beyond you.
