La Jolla Symphony & Chorus: A Line Broken
9500 Gilman Drive, San Diego, 92093
Steven Schick conducts Helga Davis and Priti Gandhi (sopranos), Patrick Walders (baritone), Peter Evans (trumpet), and Mark Dresser (contrabass). The spiritual crux of this program is Courtney Bryan’s poignant memorial to Sandra Bland and other African-American victims of violence. We’ll pair her music with improvisation, the historical voice of African-American resistance, in Rand Steiger’s Template, in a new orchestra version for trumpet-genius Peter Evans, and a new arrangement by Tobin Chodos of Ornette Coleman’s late be-bop classic. We’ll remember the victims of violence with Fauré’s gentle Requiem.
