Story
When the San Diego Early Music Society brought the Baltimore Consort to La Jolla in 2016, their soprano Danielle Svonavec made a strong impression. Her vivacious vocal interpretations and outgoing stage presence enlivened Baltimore’s accomplished but rather staid instrumental quintet. But the addition of the dramatic countertenor José Lemos to the Baltimore roster has clearly raised the ensemble to the next level, and his participation helped make Baltimore’s Saturday La Jolla concert A Glorious Light! one of the more exciting early music programs I have encountered.
Friday at the First Unitarian Universalist Church in Hillcrest, the Sacra/Profana choral ensemble took us into unusual byways as well as the darker corners of Advent in their annual Christmas concert.
Wednesday night’s formidable San Diego Opera concert “One Amazing Night” at the Balboa Theatre featured soprano Ailyn Pérez, tenor Joshua Guerrero, and pianist Abdiel Vázquez, although “One Amazing Night” was more like “One Incendiary Night,” or “One Stupendous Night,” or “One Impassioned Night.”
Accomplished Spanish classical guitarist Pablo Sáinz Villegas brought a substantial solo guitar program to The Conrad Saturday, December 7, for the La Jolla Music Society.
