Calling All Dawns Concert Reviewed by New York Concert Review
|
| |

"Conductor Jonathan Griffith was the master of the situation, as is
the norm for this consummate leader and musician. Any composer should be
thrilled to have him at the helm when his works are played. The
orchestra had already been excellent this afternoon, but they saved the
best for the last in a performance that was done with style and grace.
The supporting chorus, with singers from Australia, the United Kingdom,
Vermont, Illinois, Pennsylvania, and New York, was vibrant throughout
with a strong performance that was not wanting in volume or passion. It
was a joy to see the constantly changing soloists, from Anonymous 4, to
others including members of the chorus who came forward and offered
passionate performances. They were all stars today. When two Maori in
tribal dress entered the stage in the final movement and not only
chanted the Maori lyrics, but did a ritual dance, it was that special
DCINY "touch" that I have come to expect from this fine organization.
The audience reacted after the final notes with the loudest and longest
standing ovation I have ever heard at any concert. Mr. Tin was called to
the stage and the ovation became deafening. It must have been one of
the proudest moments in his life and it was wonderful to see. It's an
image I will not soon forget. Congratulations to DCINY for another
winning performance."

Ever since 2007, when I heard Eric Whitacre's music for the first time and subsequently was fortunate to sing some of it with Choral Arts Philadelphia, I was forever drawn to his unique style: the ideal balance - not a conflict - between the humanity and technology...

Boston-area to do list
March 18, 2013
We've heard composer-conductor Eric Whitacre's haunting, ethereal "Lux Aurumque" sung in real time, but tuning into his wildly popular YouTube virtual choir version was also fun (more than 3 million views and counting at www.youtube.com/watch?v=D7o7BrlbaDs ). Whitacre stops in Boston with his Grammy Award-winning Eric Whitacre Singers for a program that includes other Whitacre works ("Lux Aurorum," "Leonardo Dreams of His Flying Machine," and "Animal Crackers," to name a few), plus pieces by Morten Lauridsen, John Corigliano, Monteverdi, and Bach. March 19, 8 p.m. $21-$111. Symphony Hall, 301 Massachusetts Ave., Boston. www.bso.org
