Before the night turned to Beethoven, some “Jubilation” was in order.
Alexander Shelley, the Pacific Symphony’s artistic and music director designate, opened his first public performance in Orange County on Thursday, May 1, with Tan Dun’s 1997 piece from his “Heaven Earth Mankind” because, as Shelley said, he felt jubilation about his new role. He also incorporated the Southern California Children’s Chorus in a nod to the future.
Shelley, who was announced in November as the successor to longtime conductor Carl St.Clair, enthusiastically embraced everything about his opening day — even some pickleball with symphony members.
And the audience in the Renee and Henry Segerstrom Concert Hall matched the British maestro’s excitement and repeatedly rose to its feet as the performance moved to Beethoven’s “Emperor Concerto,” “Every Tree Speaks” from Iranian composer Iman Habibi and, finally, Beethoven’s Symphony No. 5.
Shelley is scheduled to conduct the Pacific Symphony on Friday and Saturday in the conclusion to his introduction to Orange County.
