Hilary Hahn

Three-time Grammy Award-winning violinist Hilary Hahn brings expressive musicality to a repertoire guided by artistic curiosity. A prolific recording artist, her 23 feature recordings have received every critical prize. Hahn is a staunch supporter of new music. Recent commissions include new works from Barbara Assiginaak, Steven Banks, Jennifer Higdon, Jessie Montgomery, and Carlos Simon. She is currently a Visiting Professor at the Royal Academy of Music after several years as the Chicago Symphony Orchestra’s first-ever Artist-in-Residence, Artist-in-Residence at the New York Philharmonic, Visiting Artist at The Juilliard School, and Curating Artist of the Dortmund Festival.

In the 2024–2025 season, Hahn tours the globe: in Japan, Beethoven with the Deutsche Kammerphilharmonie Bremen; in the U.S., Korngold with the Berlin Philharmonic; throughout Europe, Tchaikovsky with the Orchestre philharmonique de Radio France; throughout Spain and the Canary Islands, Mendelssohn with the Munich Philharmonic; on tour with the National Symphony Orchestra; and at the BBC Proms in Korea. In addition, she joins the Cleveland Orchestra, the New York Philharmonic, the San Francisco Symphony, and many others. She also continues her immensely popular all-Bach solo recitals in Cincinnati and Philadelphia.

Hahn has related to her fans naturally from the very beginning of her career. She has committed to signings after nearly every concert and maintains and shares a collection of the fan art she has received over 20 years. Her “Bring Your Own Baby” concerts create opportunities for parents of infants to share their enjoyment of live classical music with their children in a nurturing, welcoming environment. Hahn’s commitment to her fans extends to a long history of educational outreach. Her social media–based practice initiative, #100daysofpractice, has transformed practice into a community-building celebration of artistic development.
