On Jan. 3, 2010, she embarked on her expedition from a port in Dakar, Senegal. On the second day of her trip, Spotz realized her small- ness in a vast ocean trafficked by massive, fast-moving freighters. A week in, she learned how to consume 5,000 calories in one day, how to de- salinate ocean water and how to stay in touch with the world — while alone in the ocean — by the use of a satellite tele- phone, blogs and Twitter. As the trip progressed — and she racked up what seemed to be a series of end- less, identical days — she was also privy to many wonders of nature. At night, she fully appreciated the lunar cycle, the star-filled sky above her boat and the luminous sea- life that lived below. “Every night was a spec- tacle as I’d see this glowing plankton. It was a type of phosphorescence that would glow with each oar stroke,” Spotz said.

REVIEW

Tom Di Nardo Guest Reviewer

Performing a work as complex and deeply felt as Brahms’ “Ein Deutsches Re- quiem” is a major challenge, especially when the instru- mental and vocal forces can combine for only a single rehearsal led by a conduc- tor making his Chautauqua debut. Yet those assembled forces brought it to vivid life. Having heard the Buf- falo Philharmonic Chorus in Kleinhans Music Hall, there was little doubt about their prowess, especially in a work at the heart of their choral repertory. Baritone Tyler Duncan was also making his Chautauqua debut, with so- prano Janice Chandler-Eteme a welcomed return guest.
