The La Jolla Symphony's season-long salute to Igor Stravinsky continues as music director Steven Schick conducts a concert called The Classicist, which examines the composer's classical influences. The program is highlighted by Stravinsky's own work, Symphony in C, along with Beethoven's First -- the symphony said to have inspired it. In addition, clarinet soloist Curt Miller is featured on the Stravinsky composition Ebony Concerto, originally written for Woody Herman's jazz orchestra. Celebrating its 57th season this year, the La Jolla Symphony gets the performance off to a rousing start with Mozart's famous Overture to The Marriage of Figaro.

Event was great. Sounded beautiful. A little to close to the stage for me, but you could see all the artists play.

The pre-show lecture was excellent, especially for a classical music aficianado. It's worth showing up an hour early to gain insight into the composer, the piece, and the overall theme and how each one fits together to complement the whole.

I took my mother, who was in from out of town, and we both thoroughly enjoyed the performance. Steven Shick is a passionate, masterful conductor who brings out the best in a volunteer group of dedicated musicians from all walks of life.

If you don't want to pay top dollar to see the SD Symphony, or if you just can't get enough of the classic symphonies, you won't be disappointed in the LJS.

Quality of the orchestra varied - the Beethoven was excellent, the Mozart sluggish. The Stravinsky Ebony Concert owas outstanding. Finding Mandeville Auditorium on UCSD campus at night was difficult - the entrance not obvious. Finding parking was very confusing - seeing parking lots but not being able to figure out how to access them.

Orchestra did a good job. Performance was tight. Program was excellent with a mix of classical, romantic, and contemporary music. Concert Hall, Mandeville, is out dated. Viewing of the orchestra and the performance sitting in the Main section was less than ideal.
