Violinist William Hagen Explores the Interplay of Music and Nature in Special Community Engagement
Join violinist William Hagen for an event focused around music and nature, two universal languages that stir our emotions and benefit us all. William will explore the close connection between nature and the great music it has helped inspire, and will discuss his own efforts to spread the joy of music and nature, both at home and on the road. William will be joined by a local conservationist/gardening expert who will explore ideas on how we individually can make positive impacts on the natural world around us, and bring the music of nature humming into our own backyards.
The riveting 31-year-old American violinist William Hagen has appeared as a soloist with many of the world's great orchestras including the Chicago Symphony, Chamber Orchestra of Europe, San Francisco Symphony, Frankfurt Radio Symphony, and many more. Already a seasoned international performer who has won friends around the world, William has been hailed as a “brilliant virtuoso...a standout” (The Dallas Morning News) whose playing is “... captivating, floating delicately above the orchestra” (Chicago Classical Review). He was the third-prize winner of the 2015 Queen Elisabeth International Music Competition, one of the highest-ranking Americans ever in the prestigious competition. William performs on the 1732 ‘Arkwright Lady Rebecca Sylvan’ Stradivarius, on generous loan from the Rachel Barton Pine Foundation.
