Guest conductor: SAMEER PATEL This concert will be bookended by two stunning pieces by British composer Anna Clyne. The opening work Within Her Arms was written as an ode to her mother, a meditation on loss, love, and life. The closing work will be her 2020 composition, Color Field, a work that was inspired by abstract artist Mark Rothko’s painting: Orange, Red, Yellow.

From the La Jolla Symphoy & Chorus: Arian Khaefi takes the podium to conduct this program of rich choral and symphonic repertoire. We’ll open with R. Nathaniel Dett’s The Chariot Jubilee, a spell-binding oratorio that is “deep rooted in Spirituals and folklore.” We’ll then present Young Artists Competition winner from 2021, Ayrton Coehlo Pisco, as soloist in Mendelssohn’s gorgeous Violin Concerto. The program will conclude with Ernst Bloch’s monumental Avodat Hakodesh. Rarely performed, this epic sacred work for baritone, chorus, and orchestra represents the full maturity of Bloch’s music in the Jewish tradition. R.
