the May 25, 26, and 27, 2001, Connoisseur Series at Copley Symphony Hall by the
San Diego Symphony Orchestra under the baton of Jung-Ho Pak. The occasion was
reviewed by Valerie Scher of
the San Diego Union-Tribune, Monday, May 28, 2001.
Scher commented that the program "featured the pleasing world
premiere of San Diego composer David Ward-Steinman's 'Millennium Dances.'
...Those wary of modern music had little to fear from Ward-Steinman's 78-page
score. It's the kind of thing that might appeal to conductor Keith Lockhart and
the Boston Pops, if they were especially interested in music influenced by other
cultures."What was most striking about the 21-minute-long work was its blending of
exotic and orchestral instruments and its transformation of folk material into
mainstream fare.... It was fun even without the dance segment that had to be
dropped for logistical reasons."The opening movement, 'Ireland: Dublin Down,' was powered by jaunty melodies
reminiscent of Riverdance while 'Bali: Pelog-jam' evoked the alluring tone
colors of a balinese gamelan ensemble. And 'Africa: Kenya Dance?' included a
perky tune for tin whistle and dynamic displays of drumming."
