Hilary Hahn

Never shall I grow weary of classical music; the sweetness of sound, and the emotional connection that I always find in its song. In a sense, we mourn the passing of this art form, appreciated less and less as the years trickle by. Its composers, though stronger in force than ever before, have little exposure in a digital era of rock, dance, hip hop, and rap. Classical music is the profound passion that I desire, and more than ever, I've been enjoying concerts throughout the Bay Area, with special fondness toward Davies Symphony Hall in San Francisco.

Here are the performances that have touched me in the past few months, each in a very different way:

December:
Erich Korngold: Violin Concerto performed by Hilary Hahn
Zoltan Kodály: Háry János Suite

February:
Robin Holloway: Fourth Concerto for Orchestra (world premiere)
Johannes Brahms: Violin Concerto performed by Christian Tetzlaff

Late February:
Pyotr Tchaikovsky: Romeo and Juliet Fantasy-Overture
Sergei Rachmaninoff: Piano Concerto No. 2 performed by Olga Kern
Sergei Rachmaninoff: Symphonic Dances

March:
John Adams: A Flowering Tree

Tonight:
Ludwig van Beethoven: Triple Concerto performed by the Eroica Trio
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart: Symphony No. 41 (Jupiter Symphony)

Find something pure in this world to suffuse your life with meaning, if you have not already. When tragedy strikes you, or when you must part with someone in your life, it is this one thing that can fill even the widest gaps. For me, it is classical music.

Ludwig van Beethoven: Violin Sonata #5 in F Major, Op. 24:
II. Adagio molto espressivo
