San Diego Symphony guest conductor Elena Schwarz opted for the best of both worlds in her Saturday program, devoting her first half to a pair of contemporary works by John Adams and Thomas Adès. She balanced that challenge with Antonin Dvorák’s beloved Ninth Symphony ‘From the New World.’
For the Hausmann Quartet’s first CD ‘Pale Blue Dot’ the San Diego ensemble has collected five contemporary works they have performed in recent seasons.
The program offered a first look at dances made for Malashock Dance by its new artistic director, Christopher K. Morgan. Good news: Morgan’s work has the kind of complex engagement with ideas we’ve enjoyed from John Malashock for 35+ years. There’s also an appealing playfulness, as well as a democratic approach to composition that may be a mixed blessing.
