The UT College of Music is thrilled to announce that New York Philharmonic Concertmaster Frank Huang will come to the Knoxville campus for a week of activities with students and faculty, culminating in a special performance with the UT Symphony Orchestra. Frank Huang is a highly-respected violin virtuoso who joined the New York Philharmonic as Concertmaster in 2015. His many accolades include First Prize in the Walter W. Naumburg Foundation’s Violin Competition and the Hannover International Violin Competition, top prizes in the Premio Paganini International Violin Competition and the Indianapolis International Violin Competition, Gold Medal Awards in the Kingsville, Irving M. Klein, and D’Angelo international competitions. He has performed with many of the world’s greatest symphonies. Huang will conduct master classes with College of Music students earlier in the week before capping off the week’s events at a joint concert with the University of Tennessee Symphony Orchestra. The performance will feature colorful orchestral masterworks including UT alumna Dosia McKay’s “Watercolors,” Ottorino Respighi’s sensational “Fountains of Rome,” and the virtuosic Violin Concerto by Jean Sibelius. The concert will be conducted by James Fellenbaum, director of orchestras at the University of Tennessee College of Music. Open to the public!
