Hilary Hahn

Hilary Hahn
How much can one person do with a single instrument? According to Johann Sebastian Bach, a lot. Violinist Hilary Hahn will appear at the UGA Performing Arts Center's Hodgson Concert Hall Thursday, Sept. 21 with just her fiddle and bow — and no pianist to accompany her. Hilary Hahn has an exceptionally diverse career as a performer. She has championed and commissioned music by living composers. She has even recorded and performed with the alt-rock band ... And You Will Know Us by the Trail of Dead. But time and again she has returned to solo Bach, music more than 300 years old but still at the summit of the violin repertoire. Hugh Hodgson School of Music students are clamoring to attend Hilary Hahn's recital — to see what a composer at the top of his powers and a performer at the top of hers can do together.
