Performing Artists
The Cleveland Orchestra
Elim Chan, conductor
Hilary Hahn, violin

Violin virtuoso Hilary Hahn returns to Cleveland with one of her signature works: Brahms’s exquisite Violin Concerto, which positions its fiendishly difficult solo lines as part of a symphonic whole. In her Severance debut, Elim Chan also conducts Lutos?awski’s three-movement Concerto for Orchestra, an ingenious encapsulation of Polish folk music idioms that brought the composer international renown — and whose American premiere was given in 1958 by none other than The Cleveland Orchestra.
