Grammy Award-winning Violinist Returns To Perform With NZSOThe New Zealand Symphony OrchestraAmerican virtuoso violinist Hilary Hahn returns to Aotearoa for the first time in more than a decade to perform three extraordinary works with the New Zealand Symphony Orchestra in August. Hahn, a three-time Grammy Award winner, is considered one of the best violinists in the world. In the NZSO’s Truth and Beauty concerts in Wellington and Auckland, Hahn performs Prokofiev’s Violin Concerto No. For her performance of Brahms’ Violin Concerto in Style and Substance in Wellington, Hahn says his masterpiece is a unique combination of “brute force and gentle emotion”. French composer Ernest Chausson’s Poème, which Hahn performs in Love Triumphant in Wellington, is a favourite of the musician.
