NY Phil: Hilary Hahn Plays Prokofiev

• Hilary Hahn, violin
• Jakub Hrůša, conductor

Samuel Coleridge-Taylor — Ballade for Orchestra in A minor, Op. 33
Sergei Prokofiev — Violin Concerto No. 1 in D major, Op. 19
Béla Bartók — Concerto for Orchestra, Sz. 116, BB 123

Star violinist Hilary Hahn, our 2023–24 Artist-in-Residence, performs Prokofiev's dramatic Violin Concerto No. 1. Bartók’s Concerto for Orchestra is an extravaganza showing off the brilliance of the orchestra, both as individual musicians and as a cohesive ensemble. Coleridge-Taylor's Ballade, written when he was only 23, combines a sense of grand adventure with lilting tenderness. Jakub Hrůša conducts.

Runs Jan. 11-13.
