I envision Classical Pacific to be a program that approaches classical music from a Pacific perspective, and that perspective affects the way I curate each show. Today, every work I am playing has a literal connection to the Pacific Rim, whether through the orchestra, the composer, the performers or the subject matter of the work. You'll be hearing performances by the San Diego Symphony, the Los Angeles Philharmonic, the San Francisco Symphony, the Seattle Symphony, Kiri Te Kanawa, Esa-Pekka Salonen, John Luther Adams, and the Knights (including local boy Shawn Conley). Two of the works are about the ocean. I hope you'll enjoy my choices. I intend to continue to expand the Pacific perspective through visits by local artists, guest show curators, and more. Help me grow the program through your suggestions and comments.
