This program reimagines Farrenc’s salon culture, placing her rarely performed Sextet, Op. 40 at the center of a conversation on women writing for winds in 19th-century France. Paired with Reicha’s Quintet, Op. 100 No. 3 and new works by Cornell composers (Chenghao Michalis Li and more), the evening evokes the salons Farrenc herself led—spaces outside institutional walls where she brought together earlier composers, her contemporaries, and her own music. It also reflects the pioneering vision of her Trésor des Pianistes, which paired past and present in one of the earliest revivals of early music. Performed on a Pleyel 1865 by Patricia Garcia Gil and the historical wind ensemble Quodlibet (Kelsey Burnham, Pablo O’Connell, Elise Bonhivert, Rachel Nierenberg, and Aaron Goler).
Sponsored by the Central New York Humanities Corridor from an award by the Mellon Foundation.
