Hilary Hahn

The world-renowned violinist Hilary Hahn talks openly and candidly about how she built her performing experience from a young child and how she prepares for a performance. She talks about making mistakes in live performance “it’s not like jumping out of a plane when the parachute doesn’t open!” and her descriptions of how her father taught her how to focus on stage are very funny.

Her interview is longer than most, but she was so articulate and interesting that I barely edited it – she’s quite an inspiration!
