The Christine Emerson Reed Park in Santa Monica thrilled us with The Santa Monica Symphony performances of Shostakovich, Strauss, Copland and Rimsky-Korsakov. The vocal selections sung by Maximo Marcuso interspersed were gargantuan. Starting with a song from Morricone’s The Mission, followed by Webber’s Phantom of the Opera and culminating with a bone chilling Nessun Dorma made for a brilliant distraction from the heat sweltering day.
