A virtuoso pianist, Farrenc achieved acclaim as a performer, educator, and composer, she rose to a high rank as a teacher at the Paris Conservatoire, and, in part due to the success of this Nonet, was the first woman to receive equal pay to her male counterparts at the conservatory.An axiom is defined as an established rule or principle; a self-evident truth. It also stems from the word axios which means ‘worthy’. There are musical works which don’t quite fit in the context of a typical large-ensemble concert nor chamber music concert, but are most certainly worthy works of art. AXIOM, MIT’s newest ensemble, explores such musical works.
