The violinist will be spotlighting the music of Mozart, Hayden and Farrenc
“He’s a very charismatic leader and very serious musician, and he has a very wide spectrum on repertoire and deep understanding of music,” Song says.
Born into a prominent French artistic family, Farrenc became the only 19th-century woman to hold a permanent faculty position at the Paris Conservatoire. Her Nonet premiered in 1850 and will feature Song alongside eight of her fellow section leaders, or principals: flutist Aralee Dorough, oboist Jonathan Fischer, clarinetist Mark Nuccio, hornist William VerMeulen, bassoonist Rian Craypo, violist Joan DerHovsepian, cellist Brinton Averil Smith, and double bassist Robin Kesselman.
Mozart’s first violin concerto is likewise not as well-known as his later ones. Song learned part of it as a child, but this will also be her first time through the entire thing — the last of his five concerti she’ll complete. The composer was just 17 when he wrote it, and his youthful exuberance translates easily to the score.
The challenge for her, she continues, will be making a difficult piece sound effortless. Unlike other concertos, those of Mozart’s can be singularly unforgiving.
