Hilary Hahn!

i attended a concert by the Vancouver symphony and Hilary Hahn on the 19th of oct. for those of you who don't know, hilary hahn is a grammy award winning violinist who also played on the soundtrack of 'the village'.

anyway, she's only 28 and i find her playing a little too 'serious'. she's one determined lady who makes no compromise in her music, but sometimes i hope she can relax a little.

I had a hard time taking this photo. And it didn't turn out well too. The concert hall had these super enthu custodians waiting to pounce on trigger-happy people.

Hilary Hahn signing autographs....and my 10 secs of conversation with her

Scene: Hilary Hahn, looking smaller in person, tired after playing the horrendously difficult Tchaikovksy concerto has changed out of her fabulous brown evening gown and is now wearing an ugly blue shirt. She beams her megawatt smile. She is flanked by 2 irritated-looking minders.

Me: Hi.

(Hilary continues to beam her megawatt smile as she receives my CD and begins signing her name)

Me: I've got your Mozart CD at home.

Hilary H: That's great.

Me: Will you be recording any chamber music soon?

Hilary H: I hope so.

She has finished signing the CD.

She beams her megawatt smile again.

Exeunt Me.
