Two-time Grammy Award-winning violinist Hilary Hahn will perform live in Peru’s capital, Lima, on June 27, one of the leading performers in this year’s Lima Philharmonic Society season.
Hahn, named the 2008 Gramophone Artist of the Year, is scheduled to play Brahms’ Symphony N° 4 and “Children’s Day at the Camp Meeting,” Ives’ Symphony N° 1 y N° 2, Ysaÿe’s Symphony N° 6 as well as Bartok’s “Danza Romana.”
Hahn is celebrated for her innovative interpretations, captivating stage presence and emotional sophistication. For over a decade, extensive international performances and recording activities have confirmed Hahn’s place as one of the most sought-after artists on the concert circuit.
Hahn appears regularly with the world’s leading orchestras and on notable recital series throughout Europe, Asia and North America. In the 2008-09 season, she will tour the United States, China, Korea, Germany, England, France, Belgium, Hungary and the Netherlands as guest soloist with, among others, the Los Angeles Philharmonic, the San Francisco, Baltimore, Vancouver and Toronto symphonies, the Munich Chamber Orchestra, and the Budapest Festival Orchestra.
In 2009, Hahn appeared as soloist in the world premiere of Jennifer Higdon’s Violin Concerto, co-commissioned by the Indianapolis, Toronto and Baltimore symphonies and the Curtis Institute of Music. Her recital tours and concert collaborations will take her to the United States, Canada, Japan, England, Italy, Austria, Germany, Spain, Croatia, Slovenia, Brazil, Argentina and Uruguay.
All of Hahn’s recordings have received critical acclaim and ranked for many weeks on the Billboard Top Ten list. In 2007 Deutsche Grammophon distributed a popular documentary entitled Hilary Hahn: A Portrait, containing exclusive interviews and concert footage.
