Munich replaces Hilary Hahn

Munich replaces Hilary Hahn

The American violinist, sidelined with a trapped nerve, has cancelled a Munich Philharmonic tour. Hilary has been out since last July.

The Munich Phil say:
We are very sorry to announce that Hilary Hahn had to cancel her engagements with us due to a nerve injury, which affects our concerts in Munich as well as the following tour to Spain and the Canary Islands. But no worries – our concerts will take place thanks to these two outstanding young violinists: Clara-Jumi Kang (pic) will take over the concerts on January 29 & 30 in Munich and Esther Yoo our tour on February 2/3/5/7/8 to Spain and the Canary Islands. The repertoire remains unchanged with Mendelssohn’s Violin Concerto in E minor and we are so much looking forward to our upcoming concerts! Dear Hilary, please get well soon and dear Clara and Esther, see you next week.
