The Knoxville Symphony Chamber Orchestra kicks off the orchestra's 2023-2024 season with a program featuring Concertmaster, William Shaub, who will perform Mozart's Violin Concerto No.5. Also on the program is BLINK by Knoxville-based composer, Jorge Variego, and the Serenade in D Major by Dame Ethel Smyth.
In this interview, William and Aram talk about the program and discuss how performing music by Mozart shows one's musicianship. Will talks more in depth about what sets the fifth concerto apart from Mozart's earlier concerti, and describes how the joyful Concerto No. 5 draws heavily from the composer's operas. Additionally, Aram and Will tell us what they did over their Summer breaks and Aram shares some exciting news!
