Chris Rountree conducts
Leonard Bernstein Symphony No. 1 “Jeremiah”
Yeung-ping Chen The Moon in La Jolla Nee Commission
Charles Ives Symphony No. 2
Guest artist: Heather Johnson, mezzo-soprano
Special guest conductor Christopher Rountree, artistic director and conductor of wild Up, an adventurous chamber group that blends new music, classical repertoire, performance art and pop, leads a unique American program. Bernstein’s dramatic First Symphony was written while he was still in his twenties, and voted outstanding new classical work its debut year by the New York Music Critics Circle. Yeung-ping Chen will compose what is truly a twenty-first century work, a “tele-concerto” in which the orchestra will be in Mandeville and the soloists will “appear” with the orchestra via the internet. Ives’ popular Second Symphony fuses the great European symphony with popular American tunes.
