Review: San Diego Symphony Presents A Concert Of Works By Mahler And Larcher
by Ron Bierman - Oct 10, 2024

There were only two pieces on the San Diego Symphony’s program for the second weekend of the new season, the first after the renovation of the Jacobs Music Center.

In an exciting performance such as conductor Rafael Payare led, no one was nodding off, or even tempted to glance at a phone. Though a phone did elude its owner for three muffled rings before the transgressing audience member got it out where it managed one last defiantly louder, but futile ring before stifled.
