Martinson Duo Enlivened LSO’s Long Night
Christina Day Martinson The Martinson violin duo sparkled in Bach’s Double Concerto and Haldan Martinson soared on Berg’s Concerto, but in neither work did Ronald Feldman and his Longwood Symphony Orchestra dispense quite enough of the same stuff. Brahms’s Third Symphony fared better with the band, the strings leading the way. But, all in all, time moved slowly at Jordan Hall. Saturday evening’s program did not even begin until a quarter past eight, the result of a late start followed by three speakers addressing the orchestra’s commitment to healing the community through music. Why not do this as a pre-concert address? With the music-making once underway, Christina Day Martinson and Haldan Martinson showed their superb ways both with “modern” violins and Bach’s Concerto for Two Violins in D Minor. Focusing in on their interaction was the highlight of the night. Synced and sparkling they were. The Vivace was over before […]

In Mo Yang (file photo) “His bow perfectly talks. It remonstrates, supplicates, answers, holds a dialogue… We are sure that with a given subject, or even without it, [his] best playing could be construed into discourse by any imaginative person.” The English critic Leigh Hunt wrote these words in 1831 in praise of Niccolò Paganini, that 19th century violin phenomenon from whom even Franz Liszt could take notes on the business of being a celebrity virtuoso. Much of the same could be said of rising star In Mo Yang’s performance of Paganini’s own Violin Concerto No. 1 this past Saturday evening at Jordan Hall with Longwood Symphony Orchestra. The programming could not be more suitable for this artist: earlier this year, Yang took First Prize at the 54th International Violin Competition “Premio Paganini” in Genoa, adding to the 20-year-old’s growing list of professional accomplishments. Saturday’s concert, given to benefit Shattuck […]

New Phil Embarks on 21st Season
[…] conductor Francisco Noya. Shortly before his death, Knudsen encouraged the orchestra to plan for the future, and invited Noya to lead the final program of last season, leading to the invitation to serve as conductor and artistic adviser for this one. Currently also resident conductor of the Rhode Island Philharmonic, he is a member of the conducting faculty at Berklee, where he leads the symphony orchestra and Contemporary Music Ensemble. He also has led the Longwood Symphony Orchestra and Symphony by the Sea in Manchester. “I love working with volunteer musicians. They overcome obstacles with perseverance, education, and most importantly the love of music,” he says, and about New Phil, “I’m enjoying every second. Ron was a great orchestra builder, and you hear that in this orchestra. The musicians are very well-trained with musical standards associated with many professional groups. They know their way around the orchestral repertoire and they […]
