San Diego organizations large and small bounced back from a cancellation-riddled 2021 and are expanding
Here’s an easy way to put a positive spin on what 2022 was like for San Diego’s classical music scene: compare it to the year before. The unpredictable, cancellation-riddled 2021 was a nerve-wracking challenge for music presenters, musicians and audiences alike.
So it was thrilling to hear the full-throated San Diego Master Chorale with the San Diego Symphony performing Verdi’s Requiem in October under the stars at The Rady Shell. Music Director John K. Russell told me that the chorale is in better financial shape than pre-pandemic. For the first time in its 61-year history, the choir has a full-time executive director in Jen Rogers, who formerly led Arizona’s Grammy Award-winning Phoenix Chorale.
Also in La Jolla, Le Salon de Musiques is now well into its second season of intimate, French-style concerts. Like other presenters small and large here, it has faced rising costs. The society’s annual SummerFest achieved a record income of $407,008 in 2022, besting even pre-pandemic festival sales. Splendidly curated by SummerFest Music Director Inon Barnatan — who recently signed a new three-year contract with LJMS — the four-week festival reported a 36 percent increase over the number of tickets sold for the three-week SummerFest 2021.
