The love theme from Cinema Paradiso by Ennio Morricone and his son Andrea Morricone features a violin solo played by the orchestra’s concertmistress, Lisa Zeller, who is the orchestra instructor for Willmar elementary school students. Playing one of her compositions is a way to feature a “very prolific woman composer from the early part of the 19th century,” he said. In the 1800s it was “unbecoming” for a woman to be a published composer, Ramsey said. The Sunday concert opens with the orchestra playing Overture in C by Fanny Mendelssohn Hensel, a German composer and pianist who died in 1847.įanny, whose younger brother was the famous composer and pianist Felix Mendelssohn, was a victim of the traditional gender roles of the time and, although she wrote several hundred pieces of music, only a few were published, and some of them were under her brother’s name. “So you can see that we both need to be really well prepared.”Įrica Dischino / West Central Tribune file photo The goal is to “complement” the soloists performance, he said.

The orchestra began practicing the concerto in November and will have at least one full practice with Andersen before Sunday’s concert.Īccompanying a soloist requires the orchestra to “be very flexible and to react to how the concert artist performs their part of the piece,” said Ramsey. “She’s very skilled and was the best choice.”Īndersen is finishing up a bachelor’s degree in music performance and is preparing for graduate school in music performance, according to Ramsey.

Ramsey then sought out Andersen for the role as the featured artist. Ramsey said the orchestra had originally been planning to feature Peter McGuire, a Mankato native who had been the principal second violinist at the Minnesota Orchestra until a recent move to Switzerland made it impossible for him to perform in Willmar. “She’s a very talented young violinist,” said Ramsey.
