She\u2019s become a local audience favourite through her prior appearance with Cathedral Bluffs as well as other area orchestras.<\/p>\n<p>Joelle is an avid fiddle player as well as an accomplished classical violinist. She was one of the winners of the 2022 North York Community Orchestra Youth Concerto Competition, and is also a past winner of The Canadian Open Junior Fiddle Championship. She\u2019s been entertaining people as a fiddler since the age of six.<\/p>\n<p>As a classical musician, she enjoys both orchestral and chamber repertoire, and served as the concertmaster of the Toronto Symphony Youth Orchestra for three terms.<\/p>\n<p>Other accolades:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Received the 2023 Stringray Rising Stars Award through the Toronto Symphony Youth Orchestra;<\/li>\n<li>A recipient of the President\u2019s Scholar of Excellence;<\/li>\n<li>Awarded the Kathleen Parlow Scholarship, the Percy Faith Award, and the Nick Gelmych Violin Scholarship.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The Stingray Rising Stars Award is given to a TSYO member to aid in advancing their career. Joelle is currently in her fourth year of studying Violin Performance at the University of Toronto in the studio of Jonathan Crow.<\/p>\n<h3>Mahler: Symphony No. 1 in D major \u2018Titan\u2019<\/h3>\n<p>The second half of the concert features Mahler\u2019s monumental Symphony No. 1, called Titan. Mahler was second conductor at the\u00a0Leipzig Opera\u00a0when he wrote his Symphony No. 1 in D major. The work, which contains bits he\u2019d written for other pieces, along with German folk melodies, premiered in 1889 to mediocre to bad reviews. He subsequently revised it, which a series of original manuscripts document.<\/p>\n<p>Mahler called it the Titan symphony for its second and third performances only, but the name stuck with modern reviewers. He added a fourth movement in 1896, the form that\u2019s performed today.<\/p>\n<p>Among its notable moments is the opening of the third movement, featuring an unusual double bass solo of variations on the theme from the familiar song \u201cFr\u00e8re Jacques\u201d.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Find more information, and tickets to the May 25 performance at the P.C.
