One of Musical America’s 2021 “Artists of the Year,” Julia’s opera debuts include San Francisco Opera in the world premiere of Girls of the Golden West; Santa Fe Opera in Doctor Atomic; Festival d’Aix-en-Provence and Dutch National Opera in The Rake’s Progress; the English National Opera, Teatro Real and Bolshoi Theatre in the title role of The Indian Queen; and Dutch National Opera, Bregenzer Festspiele, and Park Avenue Armory in the premiere of Michel van der Aa’s Upload.

Hilary Hahn
Three-time Grammy Award-winning violinist Hilary Hahn is renowned for her musicality, expansive interpretations of an incredibly varied repertoire and organic connections with her audience, her creative approach to music-making and her commitment to sharing her experiences with a global community.
She is a prolific recording artist and commissioner of new works, and her 21 recordings have received every critical prize in the international press. This season, as Virtual Artist-in-Residence with the Philharmonic Society of Orange County, she gave the world premiere of her newly composed cadenza to Mozart’s Violin Concerto No. 5 (the cadenza she plays in the present BSO performances).
She performed the concerto with the Houston and Dallas symphony orchestras; in Dallas, she delivered the keynote speech of the Second Annual Women in Classical Music Symposium. She also performed the Dvořák Violin Concerto with both the Orchestre Philharmonique de Radio France and Frankfurt Radio Symphony Orchestra.
In March 2021, Deutsche Grammophon released her twenty-first album, Paris, recorded with Mikko Franck and the Orchestre Philharmonique de Radio France.
Hahn made her BSO debut in February 2003 performing Edgar Meyer’s Violin Concerto. With the orchestra since then she has performed Dvořák’s Violin Concerto (in August 2006 for her Tanglewood debut and again in October 2017, her most recent Symphony Hall performances), Prokofiev’s Violin Concerto No. 1 (March 2010), and Sibelius’s Violin Concerto (at Tanglewood in August 2010) — and in July 2019 she made her Tanglewood recital debut.
