Young Violinist Wows San Diego Audiences

True to form this year, the San Diego Chamber Orchestra, under the leadership of Artistic Director Jung-Ho Pak, captured the hearts and minds of its audiences Monday and Tuesday nights at the Sherwood Auditorium in La Jolla and at the Del Mar Country Club in Rancho Santa Fe, with a brilliant performance featuring the extraordinarily expressive young violinist Lindsay Deutsch in a concert named Music for the Seasons.

According to Maestro Pak, "Lindsay epitomizes what we're all about.beautiful music filled with a uniqueness and passion that energizes concertgoers of all ages."

Ms. Deutsch was featured in Piazzolla's Winter in Buenos Aires from The Four Seasons and Vivaldi's Summer from The Four Seasons; however, it was Mark O'Connor's Spring from The American Seasons that brought cheers of "Bravo!" from the audience.

A passionate performer filled with a fresh energy and extraordinary talent, Lindsay says, "There is something so special about being in the zone in front of an audience, and it can be quite addictive. The zone is a place where the mind is at total peace and the soul takes the reins. The outcome is sometimes surprising, but always very special and fresh."

Jung-Ho and Lindsay were featured on segments of the Fox6 San Diego Living Show and on KUSI's Good Morning San Diego show this month.

Another highlight of the evening was the exceptionally talented soprano Katherine Blumenthal, a member of the San Diego Opera Ensemble, who sang Welche Labung für die Sinne! from Haydn's The Seasons and Air from Boismortier's The Four Seasons.

The concert will be repeated on Friday night at St. Paul's Cathedral downtown at 7:30 p.m. Tickets are available at www.sdco.org or through the box office, 858-350-0290, ext. 7.
