Live music?

Concert in the Park

Overexposure lets this shot down badly. The composition is too cluttered, and the conductor is too near the edge of the frame to be an effective point of focus. They all look very bored.

If a deaf musician plays alone in the forrest, does she make a sound?

A little oversharpened, but nice quality of light. Composition works well. I don't get your title, but it doesn't help this shot to meet the challenge by implying there's no audience.

Playing by ear

Feels a bit like a snapshot, not at all helped by his background. More dof is needed for his instrument. Perhaps some motion blur could have helped this seem more dynamic, or at least get him with the sticks in the air. He looks half asleep here.

Two Lonely Minstrels

Texture of the grass looks oversharpened. Burnt out sky is not effective. I don't get much of a sense of hearing the music they're playing, especially as the bass player isn't doing anything. Composition doesn't work for me. Strange muted colours. They just seem very very bored.

Composition feels unbalanced (I'm not talking about the tilt, which is actually quite effective), motion blur doesn't work for me here. Feels like a snapshot.

Yes, it's live music but they don't look particularly excited about it.

Taking Note

If I were playing live music and a photographer was that close, I'd tell them to get lost. The light has given unappealing shadows on the wood from the keys. The wood isn't flattered by the quality of the light. The shot doesn't give much of a sense of mood or atmosphere, a good music shot reflects the quality of the music being performed.
