Grammy Award-Winning Violinist & Classical Music Innovator; Artist-in-Residence at Chicago Symphony Orchestra; Avery Fisher Prize Recipient
Hilary Hahn Biography
Hilary Hahn is a three-time Grammy Award-winning violinist recognized for her contributions to classical music as a soloist and recording artist. Hahn combines expressive musicality with technical expertise, performing a diverse repertoire that spans traditional and contemporary works. She began her studies at the Curtis Institute of Music in Philadelphia at age 10, studying under Jascha Brodsky and mastering the études of Kreutzer, Ševčík, Gaviniès, Rode, and the Paganini Caprices. By age 19, Hahn graduated with a bachelor's degree from Curtis Institute, having released two albums.
Hahn has performed as a soloist with major orchestras in more than 200 cities worldwide. Her discography includes 23 feature recordings, which have received critical acclaim in the international press. Her Grammy Awards include Best Instrumental Soloist(s) Performance (with Orchestra) for "Brahms/Stravinsky: Violin Concertos" and "Schoenberg/Sibelius: Violin Concertos" with the Swedish Radio Symphony Orchestra. She also won Best Chamber Music/Small Ensemble Performance for "In 27 Pieces: the Hilary Hahn Encores," a commissioning project that revitalized the duo encore genre. Jennifer Higdon's Violin Concerto, written for Hahn and recorded alongside the Tchaikovsky concerto, received the Pulitzer Prize.
An advocate for new music, Hahn has commissioned and premiered works by contemporary composers, including an AI-assisted piece for solo violin by David Lang for the Deepmusic.ai project, Lera Auerbach's Sonata No. 4: "Fractured Dreams," and Einojuhani Rautavaara's "Two Serenades." Her recordings include Ysaÿe's Six Sonatas for Solo Violin. Beyond the concert hall, Hahn has developed initiatives such as "Bring Your Own Baby" concerts for parents and infants, and the social media campaign #100daysofpractice, which has inspired widespread participation among musicians and students.
Hahn was appointed the first Artist-in-Residence with the Chicago Symphony Orchestra, performing with Riccardo Muti and the Orchestra, and also served as artist-in-residence with the New York Philharmonic. Time Magazine named her America's Best Young Classical Musician. She received the Avery Fisher Prize for artistic achievement and leadership in classical music, becoming the ninth violinist to earn the distinction. Hahn holds honorary doctorates from Middlebury College and Ball State University, where three scholarships bear her name. Her career continues to influence the global classical music landscape.
