In Reply to: Concert I attended on Friday (follow-up from Scott's post below) posted by Chris from Lafayette on January 19, 2015 at 20:47:04:
suggests that a seemingly endless string of visiting conductors (and the consequent lack of a unifying presence) could be more of a problem than ensemble age. Sounds, too, like available rehearsal time may have been a factor.
Long gone from the Bay Area, but when I lived there I saw Copland conduct the SJS in his Statements for Orchestra and Appalachian Spring (the full ballet with a seated red-gown-clad Martha Graham delivering an unforgettable introduction that included a gasp-inducing comment on male dancers in "ill-fitting tights") as well as some Ives in the mid-1970's. And I subscribed during the post-fire Cleve years when the conductor pulled off a magnificent Shostakovich 10th. So I'm sorry to hear that that heritage seems to have slipped away.
