Symphony Pro Music
Leominster - Saturday night's concert by the Symphony Pro Music, under the direction of Mark Churchill, was highlighted by the performance of 16-year old cellist Wendy Law. A student at New England Conservatory, she performed the Haydn Cello Concerto in D Major for an enthusiastic audience of nearly 200 at Leominster City Hall.
Despite her youth, Law brought a mater approach to this difficult work. Particularly noteworthy were her gorgeous tone and always sensible way with phrases. The playing of the many lyrical passages in the concerto was always in impeccable taste.
DIFFICULT PASSAGES
Law handled the concerto's more virtuoso sections with considerable facility. The difficult octave passages in the final movement were right in tune and she moved around the cello deftly, without missing notes or making a lot of unseemly slides.
Her vibrato was intense yet did not distract the listener nor distort the pitch of the notes. This was a spirited performance that was very much appreciated by the audience.
