On 1 March, I started my new post as Professor of Music Theory in the Department of Composition Studies and Music Production at the University of Music and Performing Arts, Vienna! The preceding weeks were a frantic scramble of selling my cottage, arranging for my horses, my cat, and me to make the journey. Of course we crammed in several concerts as well! A programme for flute, organ, and soprano at St Machar’s Cathedral, Aberdeen, included a new composition by Roger B. Williams. Ensemble Marquise visited again, for a crowd-pleasing medley of Baroque and Classical favourites. The most bittersweet, however, was a farewell concert at Aberdeen University with the Aberdeen Early Music Collective, in which we bookended 15th-century music from the Chez Schedel project with two highly dramatic baroque cantatas, Händel’s Lucrezia and Montéclair’s Pan et Sirinx. The concert was reviewed by Alan Cooper: “Today she said goodbye as the soprano soloist in two astonishingly powerful solo cantatas. The gentleman next to me described both her performances as ‘a tour de force’, and I would have to agree. […] Frauke’s performance […] was dramatic and powerful […] I was impressed by Frauke’s dynamic shaping and phrasing of the recitatives, while the arias were ever more passionate.”
