Review: Violinist, Modesto symphony score with 'Butterfly Lovers' - Modesto Bee
08.02.09
The Modesto Symphony celebrated Valentine’s Day this weekend with the attractive “Butterfly Lovers” Violin Concerto performed impeccably by the up-and-coming young artist Jessica Lee. Depicting an ancient Chinese “Romeo and Juliet”-style tale, the Butterfly Lovers concerto is the only piece of classical music I have ever seen that lists two composers, in this case Gang Chen and Zhanhao He. Much of it, to my ear, sounded like a film score that would suit an IMAX production about the famous sights of Chinese culture. And, I would say, the performance possessed all of the professional polish and sound of an already recorded piece of music. Jessica Lee played with a bright but expressive tone that conveyed a personal engagement with this piece that sold it to the audience with utter conviction. She provided the lyrical passages with a spacious flexibility that contrasted effectively with the crisp, clean attacks of the fast folk-like segments. All the technical elements in Ms. Lee’s playing were totally mastered with an assurance that explains her many successes in prestigious competitions. The orchestra, likewise, played its supportive role effectively, by turns powerful and delicate as the music demanded, maintaining ideal balance with the soloist throughout.

What events or sights could I go see in Modesto, California in June?
Jan 02, 2007 by banjo_mccain | Posted in Other - United States
Six high schools and one junior college will be having their gaduations in June. Beyond that, not much. Modesto is a town of 200,000 with its share of restaurants, clubs and concerts, but it isn't a tourist destination. It is roughly 2 hours from Yosemite National Park and 2 hours from San Francisco. It has a symphony, a small opera company and three legitimate theater troupes, counting one in Turlock and another in Denair.
The locals keep busy, but we don't draw people from out of state. We do draw conventions, oddly enough. If the Mid-California Dental Association or the Central Valley chapter of Retired Teachers or some other regional group wants a town that is mid-way between Sacramento and Fresno, and half as expensive as San Francisco, they come to Modesto.
