On February 8, Orchestra Miami, led by Elaine Rinaldi, performed Ellen’s Pulitzer Prize-winning Symphony No. 1 on a program titled “Miami Mujeres” honoring four composers: Ellen, Tania Leon, Amy Beach, and Florence Price. Of the performance, Lawrence Budmen observed in South Florida Classical Review, “Nearly forty years since its 1982 New York premiere by the intrepid American Composers Orchestra, the superbly crafted work still holds up well. Conceived in cyclical form with thematic material reappearing in each movement, the seventeen-minute canvass packs a plethora of invention into its brief time frame. … Rinaldi conducted a muscular reading with plenty of swagger, particularly from the avuncular percussion and precise strings.”
