The Baltimore Symphony Orchestra was joined by artist-in-residence Christine Goerke for its final season performance at Strathmore.
on Saturday at Strathmore, music director Jonathon Heyward offered the theme of reflection as a binding agent for the evening’s four selections.
James Lee III’s “Captivating Personas” — a BSO commission receiving its world premiere — reflected on four paintings by 19-year-old Baltimore painter Quinn Bryant. And the closer, Ottorino Respighi’s “Pines of Rome” opines on the epic spectacle of its titular trees.
But this season-capping concert was as good a reminder as one could ask for that Heyward brings something special to his players in Baltimore. Saturday’s program was a thoughtfully selected and often thrilling glimpse of an orchestra moving confidently into a new phase. This softer side of the orchestra extended into Strauss’s “Four Last Songs” of 1948, powerfully sung by a deeply invested and wonderfully expressive Goerke, who couldn’t help but inhabit the songs as an actress. Goerke recently made news withthat she’d be stepping down from an impactful three-year tenure as Detroit Opera’s associate artistic director; and Saturday’s performance made me grateful that she’d be spending less time in the back offices.
