TIME magazine writes, "Her tone is lean and sweet, her interpretations smart and unshowy; even the hardest-boiled prodigy-hating critics in the business go all mushy when she plays Bach, Beethoven, Barber and Bernstein. Wait, there's more. She has lovely, wide-set eyes and the figure of a ballerina. And she writes the liner notes for her CDs, as well as an online journal, hilaryhahn.com, illustrated with photos that she takes herself. Next to her, even Haley Joel Osment looks like a chronic underachiever." Buy tickets to Hillary Hahn's performances to watch one very talented young violinist.
