This well-attended concert opened with Australian composer Melody Eötvös’s short work The Deciding Machine, a tribute to women’s suffrage and the pioneering computer work of Ada Lovelace, Lord Byron’s daughter. Composed in 2020, The Deciding Machine had its premiere the following year in Wyoming, which gave women the right to vote in 1869. It is a tuneful, driven, ascending piece. The Deciding Machine was followed by Beethoven’s Violin Concerto in D major, one of the glories of the repertoire.
