The violinist Hilary Hahn has announced her return next Wednesday after a seven-month lay-off with a trapped nerve.
She has announced her resumption in the past hour.
I’m thrilled to return to the stage with my dear friends at the New York Philharmonic and the incredible maestro Herbert Blomstedt. Coming back to perform with this orchestra feels like a homecoming – they’re family to me, and it’s especially meaningful to build upon our wonderful residency collaboration from last season.
I’m particularly excited to share that I’m developing a new Nightcap program with my friend and collaborator Tiler Peck, along with other amazing artists who will be announced soon. Stay tuned for more details!
As I continue my journey of physical recovery, I’m taking a measured approach to my performance schedule, ensuring I have adequate rest between concerts. This careful balance will help me give my absolute best to each performance and to the music we all love so deeply. This means I have had to cancel several previously announced concerts. I’m grateful for the understanding from presenters and audiences where this is necessary, because I know this is what I have to do to keep making music for as long as possible—hopefully until I’m 97, like Maestro Blomstedt! (No pressure, right?)
