Violinist Hilary Hahn will return to Symphony Center on Sunday, April 12 at 3:00 p.m. for a solo recital of works by Bach, Schumann, Debussy and Cage, as well as selections from her acclaimed album In 27 Pieces: the Hilary Hahn Encores, which won a Grammy Award earlier this year. Pianist Cory Smythe, who was her artistic collaborator on the recording, will join her for this Symphony Center Presents program.
Earlier today, Hahn announced the release of her newest album: Mozart 5, Vieuxtemps 4 - Violin Concertos, on the Deutsche Grammophon label. This is her first recording with the Deutsche Kammerphilharmonie Bremen and Paavo Järvi, after performing and touring with this ensemble and conductor for many years.
For their upcoming recital program at Symphony Center, Hahn and Smythe will perform several selections from In 27 Pieces. These include "Light Moving" by Pulitzer Prize-winning American composer David Lang; and "Speak, Memory," inspired by the work of 20th century Russian novelist Vladimir Nabokov and written by Russian-American composer, poet, visual artist and writer Lera Auerbach.
