HILARY HAHN


BIO:
Two-time Grammy Award-winning violinist Hilary Hahn has gained international recognition for her probing interpretations, compelling stage presence, and commitment to new music and the commission process. Her extensive tours and dynamic recordings have made her one of the most sought-after artists of this era. Hahn appears regularly with the world’s elite orchestras and on prestigious recital series in Europe, Asia, and North and South America. In the 15 years since she began recording, Hahn has released 13 solo albums on the Deutsche Grammophon and Sony labels, in addition to three live performance DVDs, an Oscar-nominated movie soundtrack, and various compilations. In 2012, she released an album of Tchaikovsky and Higdon concertos. The Higdon piece, which Hahn commissioned, won the Pulitzer Prize. In 2011, her album Charles Ives: Four Sonatas was released. Her ongoing commissioning project, In 27 Pieces: the Hilary Hahn Encores, involves over two dozen of today’s top composers writing new short works for violin and piano. The pieces will be premiered over the 2011-2012 and 2012-2013 seasons and recorded for release in the 2013-2014 season. Hahn’s most recent album, Silfra, is a collaboration with prepared pianist Hauschka. The record was produced by Valgeir Sigurðsson and was entirely improvised by the two performers. Hahn’s work covers a diverse repertoire, but she is committed to showcasing contemporary music and has a particular fondness for Bach. “Hilary Hahn, one of the greatest violinists in the world today, can do anything she wants. … Listening to [Hahn] play is to be in the presence of instrumental talent that comes along once in a generation, if that.” –"The Washington Post"
