Sensational Performances!
by Drum Major Phil on 2/4/19The Soraya (The Valley's Center for the Performing Arts) - NorthridgeThe Colburn School Orchestra was as professional a group of musicians, despite all being under thirty and college students, as I have ever heard. Conductor Salonen, competent as always, was clearly impressed by the orchestra's thrilling Till Eulenspiegel and it's memorable Also Sprach Zarathustra. Clarinet virtuoso Christina Mateo Saez brought the packed house to its feet, giving her a huge ovation. Watch out LA Philharmonic: There's a worthy rival just across the street!
