Review: SAN DIEGO SYMPHONY PREMIERES A NEW WORK BY BILLY CHILDS at Jacobs Music Center
by Ron Bierman - February 06, 2025
What did our critic think of SAN DIEGO SYMPHONY INTRODUCES A WORLD PREMIERE at Jacobs Music Center? Alexander Malofeev was 13 when he won the prestigious International Tchaikovsky Competition for Young Musicians under 18. His technical prowess was exceptional, but his musicality at such a young age was what convincingly set him apart. Now 23, he has lived up to expectations, garnering rave reviews for performances with major orchestras around the world. Nor did he disappoint on this evening with Prokofiev’s 3rd piano concerto, but I’ll start with the most familiar work on the program, Beethoven’s 3rd symphony, the “Eroica.” It was the only work after intermission, and conductor Rafael Payare led without a score.

Ethan Ramos: A Life Lived Full Out, Onstage and Off
by Guest Author - February 06, 2025
On January 23, 2025, the world lost a bright light. Our local theatre community lost a talented performer. I lost my dance partner, audience buddy, dear friend and the third part of our dressing room Pentatonix tribute band. Ethan Ramos was all of these things, but most of all, he was the best human.

Student Blog: Why Do We Sing?
by Student Blogger: Michael Lakind - February 03, 2025
My first show of 2025 is Gone Missing by The Civilians and Michael Friedman. Aysan Celik, an original Civilians member and the wonderful director of this production, brought me aboard for this thrilling project as the assistant music director to musical superhuman Dr. Kyle Blair. At our first rehearsal, Kyle discussed his thoughts about why it is we sing in theater, connecting back to the principles of opera and the overflow of emotion that exceeds what dialogue can hold. I thought I would talk a little more about it.
