Ultimate Beethoven
violin concerto + witty perfection
You know the name, now brace for the impact of the master’s music live! Beethoven’s sublime Violin Concerto is among his most transcendent works, and international sensation William Hagen is back by popular demand to bring flair and consummate artistry to the task. Beethoven’s playfully imaginative and bold Symphony No. 2 makes this evening a perfect balance of genius.
This performance is being recorded by Mississippi Public Broadcasting for future airing on MPB’s radio network.

Recording & broadcast by:
Ludwig van Beethoven, Violin Concerto in D major, Op. 61 (1806)

William Hagen performs with notable orchestras and ensembles around the globe. A native of Salt Lake City, William began playing at age 4, studying the Suzuki method. He later studied with Itzhak Perlman and Catherine Cho at the Juilliard School, Christian Tetzlaff at the Kronberg Academy, and was a longtime student of Robert Lipsett. William performs on the 1732 “Arkwright Lady Rebecca Sylvan” Antonio Stradivari, and on a violin bow by Francois Xavier Tourte, both on generous loan from the Rachel Barton Pine Foundation.
