1.30pm New Jersey United States of America Details: Web site E-mail 1-800-255-3476 $20+	Hilary Hahn Plays Brahms Yan Pascal Tortelier, conductor Hilary Hahn, violin New Jersey Symphony Orchestra SALONEN Giro BRAHMS Violin Concerto STRAVINSKY The Firebird Suite (1945) Grammy-winning violinist Hilary Hahn joins the New Jersey Symphony Orchestra for Brahms’ Violin Concerto on a program that also features Stravinsky’s The Firebird Suite (1945) and Salonen’s Giro March 13–16 in Newark, Princeton and Morristown. Yan Pascal Tortelier conducts. The March 15 performance at the New Jersey Performing Arts Center in Newark is the NJSO’s Music Education Night event, which ends with #OrchestraYou—a special post-concert session in which audience members can perform their own orchestral instruments alongside NJSO musicians (advance registration is required). Performances take place on Thursday, March 13, (1:30 pm) and Saturday, March 15, (8 pm) at NJPAC in Newark; Friday, March 14, (8 pm) at the Richardson Auditorium in Princeton and Sunday, March 16, (3 pm) at the Mayo Performing Arts Center in Morristown. Classical Conversations begin one hour before the performances March 14–16. “Hilary Hahn is such a fine artist with a lot of powerful energy,” Lacombe says of the violinist who last appeared with the NJSO for performances of Barber’s Violin Concerto in the 2004–05 season. “She is at the top of the violin world right now. The Brahms work she will perform is one of the most important violin concertos ever written. “This program is one of contrasts. The Brahms concerto is very different aesthetically from the Salonen and Stravinsky works. The Firebird is one of the masterworks of the 20th century; it has some stylistic connections with Salonen’s Giro—modern Russian composers have had a great influence on Scandinavian composers. [Salonen and Stravinsky] also fit into our season-long theme presenting the work of composers who were (and are) also conductors.”

Writing about one of Lill’s performances with the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, The Independent declared that the pianist is ‘still a majestic presence ... one was immediately drawn in by the unforced, unselfconscious beauty of the sound.’ The Tragic Overture by Brahms was written when the composer was on holiday, expressing what he described as his ‘melancholy nature’. The result is a work full of tempestuous drama and wistful lyricism. Dvorák’s Eighth Symphony is one of his most exuberant works, drawing on Bohemian folk music for inspiration.
