Gabriela Ortiz is the very model of a Contemporary Mexican Composer, and she’ll have new pieces played each night. Tuesday’s concert pairs her new violin concerto (played by María Dueñas) with Mahler’s First Symphony, the kind of piece conductor Gustavo Dudamel has trouble holding together. Wednesday’s concert puts a shorter new piece by Ortiz with a new Violin Concerto (played by the excellent Anne Akiko Meyers) by the older Mexican composer Arturo Márquez, one of those conservative composers whose work is redeemed by the exuberent appeal of the folkloric elements he draws on: the kind of stuff that’s Dudamel’s meat and drink. That concert concludes with Copland’s Third Symphony: also the kind of piece Dudamel has trouble holding together.
