In his 14th season as the music director, Linus Lerner and his orchestra have become an extension of one another.
Cathalena E. Burch Linus Lerner opened his 14th season as Southern Arizona Symphony Orchestra music director last weekend with the work that helped land him the job.

Lerner needed only to nod toward the winds to conjure the angelic notes from flutist Nancy Anderson before he dropped his shoulder toward Concertmaster Erika Roush, who led the way for that deliciously familiar phrase that pulsates like a heartbeat on soaring strings.
He and Lerner played off one another with the timing of musicians who were intimately familiar with one another's rhythms. Moeckel would get to the end of aerobic solo run, his fingers dancing with precision and speed to keep up with Tchaikovsky's demanding whirlwind of note changes, and he would glance in Lerner's direction. Even when he had his back to Moeckel, Lerner responded to the violinist's cues.
Following another ovation, Moeckel returned to the stage to perform the first movement of Bach's solo sonata, which is included on his debut solo album "Sei Solo: Looking Within." The album, released last fall, was inspired by the loss of performing live because of the pandemic.
