"[The orchestra] provided the U.S. premiere of the Violin Concerto (1997) by the Swiss-born American composer Daniel Schnyder, featuring the altogether remarkable Francesca Anderegg as soloist...Mr. Schnyder’s violin concerto is a gorgeous thing...The hearing of this work [was] one of the most memorable experiences this listener has enjoyed thus far this year. Maestro Schneider was working at the top of his game, and all one could say regarding Ms. Anderegg was brava, diva. This was playing that had it all — taste, mastery, sensuality." -Norman Lebrecht

"The U.S. premiere of Daniel Schnyder’s Violin Concerto showcased Schneider’s mission to introduce new music. An intricate work with angular lines and exotic splashes of full orchestral color, the music occasionally called to mind Stravinsky and Gershwin. In a demanding part that often sat at the top of her range, violinist Francesca Anderegg gave an elegant yet impassioned performance." -Ronnie Reich

"The soloist was Francesca Anderegg, a graduate student at Juilliard, who made this dauntingly tricky work sound easy, starting with the microtonal anarchy of the first movement, with its clashing metric layers that echo the polyphony of Mr. Ligeti’s extraordinary études. Ms. Anderegg played the dark, mournfully lyrical second movement with rich tone and Sashko Gawriloff’s virtuosic cadenza with panache." -Vivian Schweitzer

"...Music conceived on a smaller scale felt like a grand artistic statement. Violinists Erno Kallai and Francesca Anderegg paired for French composer Philippe Hersant's 11 Caprices for Two Violins, born of Bartok and written after the texts of Kafka. These minutelong nuggets present virtuosic challenges that both performers met with astonishing assurance, and they did so as storytellers to boot." -Bryant Manning

“Exceptional performances included Francesca Anderegg's fiery interpretation of John Heiss' Episode for Solo Violin (1981), a mercurial jewel of a piece that, ending suddenly, leaves the listener pleasantly unfulfilled.” -Jonah Kappraff

“Ms. Wincenc fluttered and trilled brilliantly over a quintet of strings and a
harpsichordist; Francesca Anderegg, the first violinist, responded stylishly in kind.” -Steve Smith

"...a quartet (Curtis Macomber and Francesca Anderegg, violins; Roger Tapping, viola; and Jonathan Lewis, cello) that included two faculty members gave a pointed, vigorous reading of Szymanowski’s Second Quartet, a rarely played interwar piece full of both coolly glittering sonorities and white heat." -Jeremy Eichler

“In the end, the joy [the Anderegg Trio] seemed to find in their music-making was as palpable as was ours. We thanked them with a heart-felt ovation that also expressed our hopes for the bright future of a new generation.” -Simon Wainrib
