Since her emergence in the early 1990s as a prodigiously gifted young musician, GRAMMY®-winning violinist Hilary Hahn has matured into an assured, technically accomplished and emotionally compelling performer. She’s perfectly matched in a new piece by Jennifer Higdon, one of America’s most popular composers, who grew up in Tennessee and has since become widely known for her ingenious ideas and pleasing tonalities. One of the greatest orchestral works ever written for the organ, Saint-Saëns’ Organ Symphony will serve as a showcase for the Schermerhorn’s magnificent Martin Foundation Concert Organ.
