Violinist Hilary Hahn makes her Oregon Symphony debut on our opening Classical series concerts on October 2 – 4, and you can get a chance to listen to her playing the Tchaikovsky Violin Concerto on her newly-released album on Deutsche Grammophone. This beloved work is paired with the Jennifer Higdon Violin Concerto, which has been getting critical acclaim wherever it has been played. The orchestra is quite excited about seeing and hearing Ms. Hahn – her appearance here is long overdue, and the concerts should be phenomenal. Speaking of which, we’ll be playing a new work entitled Phenomenon … The Mysterious and the Unexplained, by the Thai composer Narong Prangcharoen, which is quite the spooky and scary piece. The concert is rounded out by the gorgeous and powerful Fifth Symphony of Sergei Prokofiev. This will be quite the season opener, for sure!
The box office says that Monday night has the best available seats.

One reply on “hilary hahn’s new album drops”
well, hilary’s new CD gets it half right. what we don’t need is another recording of the tchaikovsky. alas.
even more interesting to me is the upcoming performance of a work by prangcharoen. i LOVE hearing pieces by composers i’ve never heard of.
