Cellist Alex Greenbaum played a noontime solo recital Friday at the San Diego Central Library to inaugurate Art of Elan’s new monthly concert series there. In words of welcome, Kate Hatmaker, the San Diego musical organization’s Artistic and Executive Director, outlined the musical intentions of this project, noting that the expansive cityscape view of downtown San Diego from this spacious corner room on the library’s ninth floor inspired her to propose this series to the Central Library. Greenbaum titled his engaging program Sarabandes and Sojourns, a collection of a dozen short movements that spliced works by contemporary and 20th-century composers…
Under the baton of Music Director Rafael Payare, the San Diego Symphony and guest soloist Blake Pouliot gave a scintillating account of Tchaikovsky’s Violin Concerto on Friday’s all-Tchaikovsky concert at The Rady Shell..
Director, Moisés Kaufman, is known for staging emotional and sobering dramas inspired by true events such as The Laramie Project, I Am My Own Wife, and Here There Are Blueberries. His latest show at the La Jolla Playhouse (a co-production with Tectonic Theater Project), Velour: A Drag Spectacular, is much more joyful and uplifting than some of his other notable work.
With the completion of the extensive three-year renovation of the Jacobs Music Center, the San Diego Symphony’s downtown home, Symphony lovers will soon be enjoying regular concerts in indoor comfort.
