The La Jolla Symphony & Chorus returns to Mandeville Auditorium Dec. 3-4 with Jeffrey Malecki conducting their latest program \u201cPassionate Voices.\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

This event marks the second live concert for LJS&C following an extended break from in-person programming following COVID.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The concert will open with \u201cThe Chairman Dances\u201d by Adams, followed by a world premiere by local composer and UCSD graduate student, Sang Song. Song is the 2022 awardee of the Nee Commission, which is awarded annually and collaboratively by LJS&C and the UCSD Music Department.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Prior to the symphony\u2019s break, composer Song sat in on many rehearsals with the all-volunteer orchestra. Because of this, Song said he was able to compose his new piece with particular LJS&C orchestra musicians in mind.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI went to all of the rehearsals for the last rehearsal cycle of Steven Schick\u2019s tenure. I was blown away,\u201d Sang said. \u201cI thought, this is not an ordinary community orchestra.\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Featuring local trombonist Berk Schneider as soloist, Song\u2019s new concerto \u201cFrozen Grief\u201d will incorporate unusual staging and unique theatrical lighting elements that may surprise the audience.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cOne of the first things I did was reach out to the manager of the auditorium and ask \u201cCan you do this? Can you turn off the stage lights over a span of time?\u2019\u201d Song said. \u201cI was so delighted when he said yes.\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Later in the program, the orchestra will be joined by the chorus and four soloists to perform Rossini\u2019s \u201cStabat Mater.\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s nice for me to be able to dive back into more serious, classical music in live performance,\u201d soloist Victoria Robertson said. \u201cI\u2019m excited\u2014it\u2019s a really beautifully written piece.\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

As a former winner of the La Jolla Symphony and Chorus Young Artist Competition, this performance marks a full circle moment for Robertson. The symphony and chorus will also be joined by soloists Bernardo Bermudez, Sarabeth Bel\u00f3n, and Travis Sherwood.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Heading back to the Mandeville stage at UCSD, this performance will be the second in a unique lineup of concerts featuring guest conductors like Malecki. Malecki is known for creating the formal band program at University of San Diego, as well as the university\u2019s Music Education degree.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

“There is a community of extremely talented conductors in San Diego,\u201d said Stephanie Weaver Yankee, LJS&C Executive Director. \u201cWe are thrilled to be able to showcase several gifted individuals during our season of transition.\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The organization is in the midst of a search for a new director after their long-time director, Steven Schick, stepped down in June. Schick will return as a guest conductor in February.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
