Master violinist and educator Midori has been a force in classical music for almost 40 years. This season she collaborates with Jean-Yves Thibaudet, celebrated for his “trademark elegance” (The New York Times), on three Beethoven sonatas. Anchoring the recital is the exhilarating Kreutzer which — as interpreted by Midori — promises “a stunning performance of one of Beethoven’s most famous works” (South Florida Classical Review).

The eminent German violinist arrives with her Mutter Virtuosi, an ensemble comprised chiefly of current and former scholarship recipients of the Anne-Sophie Mutter Foundation. The emerging string stars present Vivaldi’s beloved Four Seasons, along with a concerto by Joseph Bologne, the Chevalier de Saint-Georges, and Unsuk Chin’s Gran Cadenza, a virtuoso duo for violins.
CSO Artist-in-Residence Hilary Hahn returns to Symphony Center with a recital featuring selected Bach sonatas and partitas, highlighting the depth and versatility of her musicianship. Following her performances of Dvořák’s Violin Concerto in 2021, the Chicago Classical Review declared, “Hilary Hahn is one of those rare musicians who brings not just sterling technical gleam but individuality and communicative expression to every performance.”
The distinguished violinist and violist Pinchas Zukerman joins forces with cellist Amanda Forsyth and the Jerusalem Quartet in Dvořák’s enchanting String Sextet, Brahms’ String Sextet No. 1 and Bruckner’s Adagio. The ensemble plays this repertory with “a beguiling warmth and soaring cantabile to ravish the senses” (The Strad).

FRANCK Violin Sonata
Two luminaries of their instruments team up for this joint recital at Symphony Center. Bell, whose recent Chicago performance was “profoundly lyrical and unflagging in emotional intensity” (Chicago Tribune), finds an ideal partner in Trifonov, “a remarkable artist” whose playing is “by turns daring and sensitive, impassioned and poetic” (The New York Times).
