Regarding the ensemble, the long time (I think original, founding) concert-master,
Guillermo Figueroa, just left the orchestra this year to take a job as
conductor of the New Mexico Symphony. Fine violinist, fine conductor. The
ensemble is no doubt adjusting to new personnel. Concertmaster generally
functions as de facto conductor (giving down-beats, establishing bowing
for strings, lots of other stuff) in conductor-less orchestras, and even
to an extent in orchestras with conductors.

Some things just were not together but overall a great sound and very sensitive
