Program, conducted by John Lidfors, featured Kumeyaay singers and dancers and appealing work by Jerod Tate
The San Diego Symphony has played in some unusual venues over the past two years: churches, an art gallery, school auditoriums. But the most unlikely place I heard them perform was at the Live & Up-Close Theater at the Sycuan Casino Resort.
It opens with stark percussion playing a pulse in unpredictably shifting meters. Double basses, cellos and violas jump in, at first playing open strings but soon pulsing along in gruff harmonies. Then the violins outline a melody that Tate describes as a “popular tribal church hymn.” The concert opened with several bird songs . These songs predate Haydn by centuries. They were performed by Jamie LaBrake and Bobo Elliott, who accompanied themselves on gourd rattles in rhythms that at times were rather tricky. Three Kumeyaay women danced along to the songs, their backs to the audience, occasionally moving in half-circles, always returning to face the singers.
