With great regret, Hilary Hahn has cancelled her concerts for the coming month on the advice of her physician. These withdrawals are crucial to allow her to recover fully from a muscle strain. We have engaged violinist Phillippe Quint to replace Ms. Hahn for the performances. His recording of Korngold’s Violin Concerto was nominated for a Grammy in 2009, and we are thrilled to present him.
