A native of Buffalo, NY, & Assistant Professor of Violin at Ithaca College ,Teagan Faran is a multidisciplinary musician focused on enacting social change through the arts. Her playing has “brought the house down” (Represent Classical) as she explores the boundaries of genre and performance. An avid collaborator, she has worked with the International Contemporary Ensemble, Alarm Will Sound, and the Cabrillo Festival Orchestra. As a soloist, Faran has performed throughout the United States, Italy, Argentina, Germany, México, and Canada, including appearances with the Buffalo Philharmonic and more. 

 

In this Recital, Faran will be performing pieces by Simon, Brahms, Joachim,Lee. Ibsen and other worldly renowned composers.The recital will also feature additional performers while also serving as the release of her new album. MIDDLE CHILD from multi-instrumentalist Teagan Faran confronts concepts of culture and identity through the music of Johannes Brahms’ Intermezzo Op. 118, no. 2, from 6 Klavierstücke along with the works of contemporary composers. Faran employs the Brahms intermezzo (rearranged for multi tracked violin choir) as a recurring motif; it reappears throughout the album, each time reimagined by a different artist in a different style. The album also features contributions from artists like Leilehua Lanzilotti and Jens Ibsen. Reflecting on her Cantonese-Irish heritage, as well as her own “middle child” status and her family’s connection to Hawai’i, Faran seeks a sense of belonging through the blending of past and present through this Navona Records release.
