“The third member of Thursday’s conductorial tag team was Daniel Bartholomew-Poyser, who recently joined the Symphony’s staff as resident conductor of engagement and education. Together with mezzo-soprano Melody Wilson and the men of the Symphony Chorus led by Anthony Trecek-King, he brought an interior glow to Brahms’ “Alto Rhapsody” and a high degree of expressive directness to three spirituals (“My Soul’s Been Anchored in the Lord,” “Give Me Jesus” and “Come Thou Fount of Every Blessing”) in luminous arrangements by composer Jack Perla.”
