ProfileProfile

Esa-Pekka Salonen, Principal Conductor, Artistic Advisor

As both a lauded composer and a world-renowned conductor, Esa-Pekka Salonen has a restless innovation that marks him as one of the most important artists in classical music. The Boston Globe has said that he displays “a kind of complete musicianship rarely encountered today.” Salonen is currently the Principal Conductor and Artistic Advisor for London’s Philharmonia Orchestra and the Conductor Laureate for the Los Angeles Philharmonic, where he was Music Director from 1992 until 2009. The 2014-15 season will find him as the first-ever Creative Chair at the Tonhalle Zurich Orchestra, which has commissioned a new piece for orchestra and chorus from him and will perform nine other Salonen pieces throughout the season. His Floof and LA Variations have become established modern classics, and new compositions continue to be performed around the globe.

Trained in the austere world of European modernism and enjoying a close relationship with the sunny city of Los Angeles, Salonen composes works that move freely between contemporary idioms, combining intricacy and technical virtuosity with playful rhythmic and melodic innovations. Three major retrospectives of Salonen’s original work have been heard by capacity audiences and received critical acclaim: at Festival Présences Paris in 2011, at the Stockholm International Composer Festival in 2004, and at Musica Nova, Helsinki in 2003. Salonen has written many works for symphony orchestra, including Foreign Bodies (2001), commissioned by the Finnish Radio Symphony Orchestra, Insomnia (2002), co-commissioned by Suntory Hall, Tokyo, and Norddeutscher Rundfunk, Hamburg, and Wing on Wing, which received its world premiere at Walt Disney Concert Hall in 2004 and was a gift from the composer to the Los Angeles Philharmonic in honor of their new home. In 2007 Salonen conducted the New York Philharmonic in the first performance of his Piano Concerto, dedicated to Yefim Bronfman, who also premiered it. Salonen’s Violin Concerto, which premiered with the Los Angeles Philharmonic and Leila Josefowicz in 2009, won the 2012 University of Louisville Grawemeyer Award for Music Composition and was released along with Salonen’s Nyx on Deutsche Grammophon in 2012. In 2015 Nyx will receive its UK premiere from Alan Gilbert and the New York Philharmonic at the Barbican Centre. In spring 2014, the Violin Concerto was the inspiration for an international ad campaign for iPad, which featured Salonen as composer and conductor, Leila Josefowicz, and the Philharmonia. The campaign ran for several months and included a new recording of the Violin Concerto, mastered at Abbey Road.

Salonen opens the 2014-15 season with a performance of Berlioz’s Requiem with the Philharmonia Orchestra, will tour extensively throughout Europe and Japan with the Philharmonia, and will lead the “City of Light: Paris 1900-1950” festival as the thematic focus of the season. Throughout their relationship, Salonen and the Philharmonia have curated landmark multi-disciplinary projects like this: together, they marked the centenary of the birth of Witold Lutoslawski, Salonen’s mentor, with Woven Words: “Music begins where words end,” and created the award-winning RE-RITE installation, which was first exhibited in London in 2009 and has since travelled to Portugal, China, Turkey, Germany, and Austria. The digital residency allows members of the public to conduct, play, and step inside the Philharmonia Orchestra with Salonen through high-definition audio and video projections of musicians performing The Rite of Spring. Their follow-up installation, “Universe of Sound,” which was based on Holst’s The Planets, debuted at London’s Science Museum and won the 2012 Royal Philharmonic Society Award for Audiences and Engagement. Salonen and the Philharmonia Orchestra, in partnership with Music Sales Group, Rite Digital, and Touch Press, released a successful iPad app, The Orchestra. Slate called the interactive tour through orchestral history, which allows the user unprecedented access to the internal workings of eight symphonic works, “the perfect classical music app.”

Salonen performs frequently as a guest conductor of the world’s top orchestras. During the 2014-15 season, he will make appearances with the Bavarian Radio Symphony Orchestra, the Finnish Radio Symphony Orchestra, the Orchestre de Paris, the New York Philharmonic, the Chicago Symphony Orchestra, and the Royal Stockholm Philharmonic Orchestra for a Hillborg celebration. Salonen is also an enthusiastic conductor of operatic works. In July 2013, he led an anticipated new production of Strauss’ Elektra directed by Patrice Chéreau at the Aix-en-Provence Festival. Chéreau and Salonen previously collaborated on Janácek’s From the House of the Dead in 2009 at the Metropolitan Opera, which The New York Times described as “a milestone.” This season, he will direct Debussy’s Pelléas et Mélisande with the Philharmonia Orchestra and Chicago Symphony Orchestra and Ravel’s L’enfant et les sortilèges in Chicago, London, Stockholm, and Paris.

As the Music Director of the Los Angeles Philharmonic for 17 years, Salonen is widely credited with revitalizing the organization and bringing the idea of the symphony orchestra into the 21st century. As Alex Ross of The New Yorker wrote, “Salonen turned the Los Angeles Philharmonic into the most intellectually lively orchestra in America. … the metamorphosis of the Philharmonic was Salonen’s doing, and he thereby gained a place among the visionary conductors of American musical history.” During his tenure, Salonen was instrumental in helping the orchestra to open their famed Walt Disney Concert Hall, designed by Frank Gehry. Salonen also presided over countless premieres of contemporary work; began the Esa-Pekka Salonen Commissions Fund; made the Los Angeles Philharmonic one of the best attended and funded orchestras in the country; and became, in the words of the Los Angeles Times, an “open, communicative, imaginative artist?among the most beloved of our town and time.” The many unique festivals and collaborations under his leadership of the Los Angeles Philharmonic included a production of Saint François d’Assise at the Salzburg Festival (1992) and a Stravinsky Festival together with Pierre Boulez at the Théâtre du Châtelet in Paris (1996). This season Salonen returns to Los Angeles to conduct Janácek, Saariaho, Sibelius, Mozart, Beethoven, and a program featuring émigré composers with Amériques by Varèse as its highlight.

Salonen has an extensive recording career. A new album of one of Henri Dutilleux’s most important works, recorded with the Orchestre Philharmonique de Radio France in the presence of the composer, was released in 2013 on Deutsche Grammophon on the composer’s 97th birthday. Also that month, Sony completed a recording project that began with Salonen and the Los Angeles nearly 30 years ago: a 2-disc set of the orchestral works of Lutos?awski, released in what would have been the composer’s 100th year. In 2012 he recorded a disc of Saariaho’s Passion De Simone with the Finnish Radio Symphony Orchestra and Dawn Upshaw. Salonen’s Violin Concerto and his orchestral work Nyx were released on Deutsche Grammophon with Leila Josefowicz and the Finnish Radio Symphony Orchestra in 2012. Deutsche Grammophon has also released a portrait CD of Salonen’s orchestral works performed by the Finnish Radio Symphony Orchestra and conducted by the composer, as well as a CD with Salonen’s Piano Concerto and his works Helix and Dichotomie. The latter, with the Los Angeles Philharmonic and Yefim Bronfman, was nominated for a Grammy in 2009. A CD of five of his orchestral works is available on Sony. 2012 saw the release of the first-ever recording of Shostakovich’s previously undiscovered opera prologue Orango with the Los Angeles Philharmonic, conducted by Salonen, on Deutsche Grammophon. In 2009 a new collaboration with the Philharmonia Orchestra’s partner label, Signum, was launched with the release of a live recording of Schoenberg’s Gurrelieder; other recent recordings with the Philharmonia on Signum include Berlioz’s Symphonie Fantastique and Mahler’s sixth and ninth symphonies. Salonen’s 2008 recording of Schoenberg’s Violin Concerto and Sibelius’ Violin Concerto with Hilary Hahn and the Swedish Radio Symphony Orchestra won a Grammy Award. On Deutsche Grammophon, Salonen’s recordings include a DVD of Kaija Saariaho’s opera L’Amour de Loin, with the Finnish National Opera, as well as two CDs with Hélène Grimaud featuring works by Pärt and Schumann. His first recording with the Los Angeles Philharmonic for Deutsche Grammophon?Stravinsky’s Rite of Spring, the first CD recorded at Walt Disney Concert Hall?was nominated for a Grammy in 2007.

Salonen is the recipient of many major awards, including the UNESCO Rostrum Prize for his composition Floof in 1992, and the Siena Prize, given by the Accademia Chigiana in 1993; he is the first conductor ever to receive it. In 1995 he received the Royal Philharmonic Society’s Opera Award and two years later, the society’s Conductor Award. Salonen was awarded the Litteris et Artibus medal, one of Sweden’s highest honors, by the King of Sweden in 1996. In 1998 the French government awarded him the rank of Officier de l’ordre des Arts et des Lettres. Salonen was also honored with the Pro Finlandia Medal of the Order of the Lion of Finland. In 2003 the Sibelius Academy in Finland gave him an honorary doctorate, and two years later Salonen won the Helsinki Medal. Most recently he was honored with the 2014 Nemmers Composition Prize, which will include a residency at the Henry and Leigh Bienen School of Music at Northwestern University and a performance by the Chicago Symphony Orchestra. To date, Salonen has received seven honorary doctorates in four different countries. Musical America named him its Musician of the Year in 2006, and he was elected an honorary member of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences in 2010. He is Artistic Director and cofounder of the Baltic Sea Festival, an event that annually invites celebrated orchestras, conductors, and soloists to promote unity and ecological awareness among the countries around the Baltic Sea.

Hilary Hahn, Violin

In the two decades since her professional debut, two-time Grammy Award-winning violinist Hilary Hahn has brought her virtuosity, expansive interpretations, and creative repertoire choices to diverse global audiences.

A Baltimore native, Hahn will open the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra’s 2014-2015 sea-son with Beethoven and go on to perform with the New York Philharmonic, the Dallas Symphony Orchestra, the Seattle Symphony, and San Diego Symphony. She will return to Bach concerti in a series with the Cleveland Orchestra and will perform other favorites by Bruch and Korngold throughout the season. Hahn will tour Luxembourg, the Nether-lands, and Germany with the Luxembourg Philharmonic Orchestra; in China, Taiwan, Korea, and Japan, she will perform Brahms with Esa-Pekka Salonen and the Philharmonia Orchestra. Over an extensive spring tour, Hahn will continue her longtime collaborations with colleagues Paavo Järvi and the Deutsche Kammerphilharmonie Bremen, Leonard Slatkin and the DSO Berlin, and pianist Natalie Zhu; appear with the Barcelona Symphony and Catalonia National Orchestra, and the Gothenburg Symphony Orchestra; and embark on a recital tour through Asia, Europe, and the United States. The season will see the release of Hahn’s next orchestral disc: Mozart’s 5th and Vieuxtemps’s 4th violin concertos with Paavo Järvi and the Deutsche Kammerphilharmonie Bremen.

Hahn began recording at the age of 16. She has released 15 albums on the Deutsche Grammophon and Sony labels, in addition to three DVDs, an Oscar-nominated movie soundtrack, an award-winning recording for children, and various compilations. Encompassing a range of repertoire including Bach, Stravinsky, Elgar, Beethoven, Vaughan Williams, Mozart, Schoenberg, Paganini, Spohr, Barber, Bernstein, Ives, Higdon, Tchaikovsky, and many others, her recordings have received every critical prize in the international press and have met with equal popular success. All have debuted in the top ten of the Billboard classical chart. Her distinct approach to music shows a remarkable ability to honor the traditional violin literature while expanding listeners’ horizons. A recording pairing the Schoenberg and Sibelius concerti spent 23 weeks on the Billboard classical chart and also earned Hahn her second Grammy: the 2009 Award for Best Instrumental Soloist Performance with Orchestra. Her first Grammy win came in 2003 for her Brahms and Stravinsky concerto album. In 2010, she released Jennifer Higdon’s Violin Concerto along with the Tchaikovsky concerto. Higdon’s piece, written for Hilary Hahn, went on to win the Pulitzer Prize.
In 2011 Hahn recorded Charles Ives: Four Sonatas, bringing her lyrical sensibilities to the chamber music of one of America’s most innovative artists, while her 2012 album, Silfra, captured her collaboration with experimental prepared-piano expert Hauschka. The record was produced by Valgeir Sigurðsson and was entirely improvised by the two performers after an intensive period of preparation. In 2013, Hahn and pianist Cory Smythe, who will join her in recital this season, released In 27 Pieces: the Hilary Hahn Encores. The recording was the culmination of a multi-year project to renew the encore genre. Hahn commissioned 26 composers from around the world to write short-form works. For the 27th encore, she held an open contest that drew more than 400 entries. The international premiere tours, from 2011 to 2013, were met with wide critical and audience acclaim.

Hilary Hahn took her first lessons in the Suzuki program shortly before her fourth birthday. When she was five years old, she met Odessa native Klara Berkovich, with whom she studied until being admitted to the Curtis Institute of Music at the age of ten. There, Hahn was a pupil of Jascha Brodsky, who had trained with both the Franco-Belgian master Eugene Ysaÿe and the Russian pedagogue Efrem Zimbalist. She completed her university requirements at Curtis at 16, having already made her solo debuts with the Baltimore and Pittsburgh symphony orchestras, the Philadelphia and Cleveland orchestras, and the New York Philharmonic. Hahn delayed graduation a few years in order to continue her violin studies and take additional courses in languages, literature, and writing. By the time she received her Bachelor’s Degree at 19, she was a full-time touring musician. Hahn’s ever-evolving approach to music-making and her curiosity about the world have made her a fan favorite.

Hahn’s gregarious personality reaches out to students, new listeners, and anyone with an interest in music and the arts. She is an avid writer, posting journal entries and articles on her website, hilaryhahn.com. Additionally, she produces a YouTube channel, youtube.com/hilaryhahnvideos, where she frequently interviews guests from around the world. Elsewhere, her violin case comments on life as a traveling companion, on Twitter and Instagram at @violincase. She has appeared on the covers of most major classical music publications and has been featured in mainstream periodicals such as Vogue, Elle, Town & Country, and Marie Claire. In 2001 Hahn was named “America’s Best Young Classical Musician” by Time magazine. In January 2010 she appeared as guest artist, playing Bartók and Brahms, on The Tonight Show with Conan O’Brien. Hahn has participated in a number of non-classical musical productions, appearing in two records by the alt-rock band …And You Will Know Us By The Trail of Dead, on the album Grand Forks by Tom Brosseau, and on tour with folk-rock singer-songwriter Josh Ritter.

That same year he was awarded the prestigious Avery Fisher Prize, one of the highest honors given to American instrumentalists. In 2010 he was honored as the recipient of the Jean Gimbel Lane prize in piano performance from Northwestern University.

Widely praised for his solo, chamber and orchestral recordings, he was nominated for a GRAMMY® Award in 2009 for his Deutsche Grammophon recording of Esa-Pekka Salonen’s piano concerto with Salonen conducting and with whom he won a GRAMMY® Award in 1997 for his recording of the three Bartók Piano Concerti and the Los Angeles Philharmonic. His performance of Beethoven’s fifth piano concerto with Andris Nelsons and the Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra from the 2011 Lucerne Festival is now available on DVD and his performance of Rachmaninoff’s third concerto with the Berlin Philharmonic and Sir Simon Rattle was released on DVD by the EuroArts label.
