Jessie Montgomery

All-star violinist Hilary Hahn joins the BSO in their summer home as the soloist in Brahms's Violin Concerto, a world premiere in Iman Habibi's "Zhiân," and soprano Julia Bullock sings Jessie Montgomery's "Freedom Songs."

With orchestras clamoring for her work, the rising artist feels a responsibility and opportunity to help reframe classical music and the institutions that present it.

The Boston Symphony Orchestra has announced its plans for its first full summer season in the Berkshires since 2019, featuring new works, new artists, and one very big birthday party.

The superstar violinist is the soloist in the world premiere of John Williams’s Violin concerto No. 2, led by the composer, and Andris Nelsons conducts the BSO in 20th- and 21st-century pieces by Copland, Stravinsky, and Jessie Montgomery.
