Symphony review: Mateusz Wolski’s devotion to music, performance ever present in Masterworks 7

It is a mark of the unique relationship between the people of Spokane and Mateusz Wolski, the concertmaster of their orchestra that, in providing a title to the seventh concert in this season’s Masterworks Series, Music Director James Lowe felt no need to provide a grandiose synthesis of all the pieces on the program, but simply to announce “Mateusz Plays Bruch.” If you take pleasure in seeing someone play who loves music, and is devoted to his instrument, his orchestra and his audience, that is all you need to know.
