Rebecca Corruccini, who joined the Minnesota Orchestra’s first violin section in 2008, debuted on the Orchestra’s chamber music series in May 2010, performing Hindemith’s Fourth String Quartet. At Sommerfest 2010 she played Mozart’s Clarinet Quintet with Orchestra colleagues and Music Director Osmo Vänskä. She performed two seasons with the Houston Symphony and has appeared as guest associate principal second violin with the Baltimore Symphony; in addition, she is a member of the Sun Valley Summer Symphony. In fall 2010 she became concertmaster of the Bloomington Symphony Orchestra, with which she is featured this November as soloist in Shostakovich’s Violin Concerto No. 1.

Corruccini has performed at festivals across the U.S., including the Grand Teton Music Festival and the Colorado Music Festival, where she served as assistant concertmaster. In 2006 she appeared in recital at the Kennedy Center’s Terrace Theater. She has performed solos including the Berg Violin Concerto, as winner of the Cleveland Institute of Music concerto competition, and the Stravinsky Violin Concerto, which marked her orchestral debut, in San Francisco’s Davies Symphony Hall, as winner of the San Francisco Symphony Youth Orchestra competition.

An active chamber musician, Corruccini founded Paragon Ensembles, a group devoted to community outreach, in her hometown of Davis, California. She has often performed with the Isles Ensemble and other Twin Cities chamber groups. She has also been heard as a soloist or chamber musician at many festivals, including Tanglewood, Sarasota, Aspen, Kneisel Hall and Spoleto USA, as well as the Colorado Music Festival, where in 2007 she performed with percussionist Colin Currie.
