Oct. 6, 2019 attended Los Angeles Philharmonic program titled Dudamel
conducts Gershwin (Concerto in F, Jean-Yves Thibaudet, piano) &
Copland (Appalachian Spring Suite), Disney Concert Hall. The program
opened with Samuel Barber Knoxville: Summer of 1915 sung by soprano
Julia Bullock. Knoxville: Summer of 1915 is extremely difficult for
voice but Julia Bullock met the challenge with intense concentration and
beautiful singing. Jean-Yves Thibaudet received a standing ovation for
the Gershwin piece. The second half opened with Andre Previn's Can
Spring Be Far Behind? The big closer was Appalachian Spring Suite. The
star of the closing matinee performance was Dudamel. See photo of Julia
Bullock. Julia Bullock will be featured in forthcoming Metropolitan
Opera production of "Fire Shut Up In My Bones" with baritone Devone
Tines. "Fire Shut In My Bones" will be the first opera at the Met with
music composed by person of African descent-Jazz Grammy winner Terence
Blanchard.
