I was blessed to see and understand the significance of Calvin Simmons
conducting the Los Angeles Philharmonic in the Dorothy Chandler Pavilion
and the Hollywood Bowl. More recently, I attended community concerts of
Southeast Symphony and Bellflower Symphony featuring guest conduct
Renee Baker from Chicago. Even more recently i saw Zanaida Robles
conduct the Street Symphony and Chorus but i have not seen Yvette
Devereaux conducting a Los Angeles orchestra.
One of
my most memorable concerts was Yvette Devereaux conducting the Los
Angeles Philharmonic at the Dorothy Chandler Pavilion in a 1995
spiritual concert. As I approached the Pavilion, I looked West and saw
multiple buses unloading African Americans. A description of what i saw
after entering the hall may be humorously described by a comment from
comedian Red Foxx upon entering traffic court. "Damn, there are enough
'Negroes' in here to make a Tarzan movie." Please see Los Angeles Times
review http://articles.
In
addition to conducting symphony and opera programs, Ms. Devereaux is a
terrific violin soloist in the jazz and classical genres. See http://yvettedevereaux.com/
