Despite another wintry
evening, the cold was not enough to deter a sizeable audience from coming out
to hear Lincoln’s Symphony Orchestra last night. Anton Miller and Maestro Polochick
were both stars of the evening.
Anton Miller had shared
some of the emotions he felt about the music on the concert in his interview
last week. Miller, concertmaster and soloist during last night’s performance,
loves music especially because it continues to communicate when words and
language fail.
Last night, his music went
far beyond words.
Miller’s performance of
Beethoven’s Violin Concerto in D made the audience almost forget about the
technical virtuosity that it took to perform as listeners were swept up and
carried up and down with the emotions of the great Beethoven work.
Polochick led the
orchestra in an equally emotionally charged performance—you could hear the excitement
and joy at times and, at other times, the almost palpable sorrow, or the
joviality heard in the third movement.
The only complaint about
the evening would be the order of the pieces. Despite the fact that both pieces
were beautifully performed, the Brahms Symphony in F wasn’t really able to
follow the incredible performance of the Beethoven concerto in the first half
of the concert.
Bravo, once again, Anton
Miller and Maestro Polochick!
