Conducting at Music with Love
On February 17, amid the champagne reception and art auction at the La Jolla Symphony's Ninth Annual "Music with Love", the La Jolla Village News:
...and their society reporter...
...were on-hand to support the La Jolla Symphony and Chorus...
...and to observe me conducting the La Jolla Symphony String Ensemble! Not quite my "first tux", as reported, along with the picture, in their February 27, 2002, "La Jolla Society" pages; but they were my first tails, and a very good tailcoat, at that. Apparently, I'm La Jolla Society now. Who would have thought? A little research revealed that Don Bacigalupi is the director of the San Diego Museum of Art.
The program was:
- Johann Strauss, Jr - Rosen aus dem Süden ("Roses from the South")
