From San Diego weekend arts events roundup (KPBS): Rafael Payare conducts the San Diego Symphony at The Shell Friday evening, featuring guest pianist Inon Barnatan, known in town as the La Jolla Music Society's SummerFest music director. Barnatan will perform Ravel's jazz-tinged Concerto in G with the symphony, a lively and sweeping work. The symphony will also perform Mahler's lovely and majestic Symphony No. 1 and a 2014 work by contemporary Venezuelan-American composer Reinaldo Moya. This piece, "Siempre lunes, siempre marzo (Always Monday, Always March)" was inspired by Gabriel García Márquez’s "One Hundred Years of Solitude" — in the book, there's a room where time moves strangely, where it's always Monday, and it's always March. From the Symphony: Renowned pianist and La Jolla Music Society SummerFest Music Director Inon Barnatan performs Maurice Ravel's sublime Concerto in G. Music Director Rafael Payare leads the Orchestra in Gustav Mahler’s monumental and glorious Symphony No. 1. The evening opens with Reinaldo Moya's hauntingly beautiful work inspired by Gabriel García Márquez’s novel One Hundred Years of Solitude.
