Bartók rarity showcases violinist David Bowlin along with a premiere by Anthony Vine
A capacity crowd gathered at the Good Samaritan Episcopal Church on Saturday to hear Steven Schick conduct his valedictory concert as Music Director of the La Jolla Symphony and Chorus.
In a leap of faith, Steven Schick ends his 15-year tenure as La Jolla Symphony & Chorus’ music director This concerto, never performed during Bartók’s life, is perhaps best appreciated by Bartók mavens . Nevertheless, the audience was enraptured by Bowlin’s effusive playing. The orchestra seemed inspired by Bowlin too, giving him wholehearted support.Tom Nee, LJSC’s first music director, established an annual commission to a graduate student for a composition, a tradition continued by Schick.
While Vine’s program notes may be whimsical, the music was anything but — 10 minutes of slowly changing harmonies and timbres in a continuity of sound with no discernable rhythms. The orchestra was augmented by Vine on electric guitar and Madison Greenstone on a prominent bass clarinet part. Two percussionists bowed tuned cowbells for the duration of the work, an inconsistent sound flickering in and out, imparting an electronic sheen to the ensemble.
