People Are Talking: UMS presents The San Francisco Symphony American Mavericks Festival:
The concert was incredible and all of the performers were outstanding. It seemed at the end of Mass Transmission when the choir sang its last note and Jerry Blackstone still had his arms raised in a directors pose, the audience began clapping too soon. As people applauded, the expressions on Bates’ and the choir members’ faces seemed to suggest that the piece was not over, and it was supposed to continue. If anyone who is familiar with the piece and heard it on Thursday evening, did the audience cut short the work’s performance. Mass Transmission was captivatingly sublime.
