Syracuse, NY - The Syracuse Symphony Orchestra (SSO) is proud to present "An Evening with Hilary Hahn" on Monday, May 5, 2008 at 7:30 pm in the Mulroy Civic Center at Oncenter in Syracuse.  Conducted by Music Director Daniel Hege, the Grammy Award-winning violinist brings her dynamic spirit and intense performance to Central New York with her interpretation of Paganini's Violin Concerto No. 1, a true virtuosic showcase piece. The concert program will feature the orchestra in Prokofiev's highly popular Lieutenant Kijé Suite and Enescu's Romanian Rhapsody. This concert is presented in association with SUNY Upstate Medical University.

At the age of 28, Grammy Award-winning violinist Hilary Hahn is one of the most compelling artists on the international concert circuit. Renowned for her intellectual and emotional maturity, she was named "America's Best" young classical musician by Time Magazine in 2001, and appears on a regular basis with the world's great orchestras in Europe, Asia, and North America.
In addition, she is a CNY favorite, having appeared numerous times at the Skaneateles Festival since 1992. Hahn has recorded many bestselling and award-winning albums including her most recent release, which was ranked Number One on the Classical Billboard chart this past week.

Tickets start at $30.00.  Subject to availability, $5.00 student rush tickets will be available beginning at 6:30pm the night of the performance at the Civic Center box office.
