Less than a month after canceling the remainder of its winter and spring in-person concerts for this year because of the coronavirus pandemic, the San Diego Symphony has announced the debut of its “special 2021 digital season.”
To be held on the last Friday of each month and led by the orchestra’s music director, Rafael Payare, the online season will kick off Jan. 29 with a “Wagner Meet Mozart” concert. It will be followed Feb. 26 by “Elegy and Serenades,” which pairs works by Mozart and Tchaikovsky with Carlos Simon’s “An Elegy: A Cry From the Grave.” Simon, an Atlanta-based composer, wrote “Grave” in tribute to such slain Black Americans as Michael Brown, Trayvon Martin and Eric Garner.
