excellent concert
by jeffg on 11/12/25Catalina Foothills High School - TucsonRating: 5 out of 5the catalina foothills venue is terrific, great acoustics, more intimate setting. the lack of silly security measures is quite refreshing, instead of confiscating sealed water bottles. the concert was great. the first 7 minute piece was eh, but the bruch and tchaikovsky pieces were quite good and featured the terrific cellist julian schwartz, who also did a bach encore and was very humble and appreciative of the orchestra in his comments. then beethoven's symphony no. 6, an undervalued gem, probably beethoven's most melodically rich symphony was beautifully executed by the orchestra and the guest conductor. not a dull moment and many thrilling ones.
