UC San Diego Distinguished Professor of Music and La Jolla Symphony and Chorus Music Director Steven Schick will conduct performances of the following pieces:
- Symphony of Psalms by Igor Stravinsky (1930)
- new true mirrors, furrowed, flooded, extended quite far by Kevin Zhang (2016)
- In the Midst of Flux by Gity Razaz (2013)
- Symphony No. 6 by Ludwig van Beethoven (1808)
This performance will feature classical and neo-classical compositions that demonstrate two radically different approaches to the symphony as Beethoven’s loving evocation of the Austrian countryside follows the stark beauty of Stravinsky’s devout statement of faith. These iconic works share the stage with two emerging composers. Kevin Zhang, this year’s Thomas Nee Commission recipient, will present a concerto for two violins, performed by co-concertmasters David Buckley and Peter Clarke. Young Iranian-American composer Gity Razaz balances influences from two musical worlds with enormous sophistication in her 2013 composition.
