Music Director Michael Francis leads thrilling performances at an outdoor amphitheater and indoor concert hall
The Mainly Mozart All-Star Orchestra performs on June 22 at the Epstein Family Amphitheater at UC San Diego. The Mainly Mozart Festival has been held for 36 summers now, making it one year older than its namesake actually lived.
Saturday’s concert featured Mozart’s Symphony no. 31, the “Paris Symphony”; the “Danse Macabre” by Saint-Saëns; and Fauré’s Requiem. Francis reduced the string section for the Requiem, and oversaw a nuanced performance by the San Diego Master Chorale. Vital contributions were made by Bar-Josef in the Sanctus and by organist Nicholas Halbert throughout.
The Mainly Mozart All-Star Orchestra performed June 25, 2024 at the Baker-Baum Concert Hall in La Jolla. I’m not a fan of much of Britten’s instrumental music, but these 11 brief character pieces add up to a convincing whole. His later works are often too clever for their own good, but there’s an earnestness to the Variations and an impressive technical mastery in his handling of a string orchestra.
