Hailed by the New York Times for her “rich tone” and “virtuosic panache,” violinist Francesca Anderegg delivers insightful accounts of contemporary and classical music. Through her inventive programming, active composer collaborations, and precise yet impassioned interpretations, Anderegg has earned renown as a musical explorer of the first order.
Anderegg has a national and international reputation as a violinist with a special focus on Latin American repertoire and contemporary music. As a soloist, Ms. Anderegg has toured throughout Argentina and Brazil, performing a wide variety of contemporary and standard violin concerti with orchestras in the United States and South America. Since her Carnegie Hall debut performance in 2008, Ms. Anderegg has given solo recitals in national and international venues, including Brooklyn’s National Sawdust, The Arts Club of Washington, the National Museum of Colombia in Bógota, and many others across the world. Her three solo albums have been featured on radio programs throughout the country and noted for their “stunning virtuosity” (Fanfare Magazine), “lustrous tone” (The Strad Magazine), and “riveting listening experience” (Second Inversion). Her album “Wild Cities” was selected as a favorite of 2016 by New Music Box, and her most recent commercial release, “Images of Brazil,” was praised as “the most delightful disc of Brazilian chamber music to come along in years” (Fanfare Magazine). Ms. Anderegg’s appearances include concerts at Chicago’s Symphony Center and the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York with Itzhak Perlman and members of the Perlman Music Program.
Ms. Anderegg’s career is characterized by remarkable versatility. In addition to her accomplishments as a soloist, she is also a skilled orchestral musician, chamber musician and administrator. She frequently performs and tours with the Minnesota Orchestra, and after a successful audition, won a one-year position in the first violin section from 2014-2015. As a chamber musician, she has performed with many of the leading artists of today, including musicians from the Metropolitan Opera Orchestra, the Juilliard String Quartet, Indiana University, and many others.
Pianist Joy Cline Phinney, a native of Boulder, Colorado, has appeared in solo and chamber music recitals across the United States and in Europe. She holds Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees in piano from The Juilliard School, where she studied with William Masselos, Adele Marcus, and Samuel Sanders, and a Doctor of Ensemble Arts from the Peabody Institute at Johns Hopkins University, where she studied with Ellen Mack and Robert McDonald.
Joy has collaborated in chamber music concerts, recording projects, and radio and television programs with members of the Boston Symphony Orchestra, New York Philharmonic, Cleveland Orchestra, Metropolitan Opera Orchestra, and St. Paul Chamber Orchestra, among others, and for two decades has appeared annually with headlined artists on the Faculty Showcase concerts at the Sarasota (Florida) Music Festival. Some of the distinguished artists with whom she has performed are James Buswell, Lynn Chang, Timothy Cobb, Anyango Yarbo- Davenport,, Timothy Eddy, Anthony Elliot, Miguel Pérez-Espejo, Emmanuel Feldman, Karen Gomyo, Vanessa Holroyd, David Houston, Juliette Kang, Alexander Kerr, Nancy King, Julie Landsman, Ron Leonard, Lucia Lin, Phillippe Muller, Peter Stumpf, Richard Svoboda, Hsin-Lin Tsai, Ann Hobson Pilot, Alan Vogel, Carol Wincenc, William Winstead, Owen Young, and Rebecca Young.
Notable concerts of the past two years include return engagement on the New York Philharmonic Merkin Hall Concert Series (Brahms Piano Quintet), “Colour of Music” festival concerts in Houston, TX and Richmond, VA, collaborative concerts at Stanford, Harvard, Seattle, Brandeis, and Tufts Universities, Sevenars Music Festival (MA), Resident Artist and concerts with “Castle of Our Skins,” continuing engagements with musiConnects, and Boston University’s quartet-in-residence – Arneis Quartet. Faculty appointments include the Cremona International Academy in Italy, Sarasota International Music Festival in Florida, and Easton Chamber Music Festival in Massachusetts.
