That makes what's happening in Orange County, Calif., all the more important. One of the richest residential areas in the country, the Los Angeles suburb is known for swimming pools, golf courses and lush lawns - all of which need water. But like much of Southern California, Orange County is dry and getting drier, and the aquifer from which the county pumps much of its water is slowly draining.

...strings like a motor beneath the orchestra. The speed occasionally got the better of the strings, as the sound sometimes lost its crispness, but Yannatos again gave the audience a thrilling ride. The slow third movement features striking, solemn chorales in the horns and bassoons and a lush string sound. In the tumultuous final movement, the strings nimbly ducked under and crept over the winds, and the piece finished with a fulfilling culmination of the momentum that had gathered throughout, capping off the performance by Yannatos and his beaming orchestra...
