Augustin Hadelich Performs Barber
About This Event
Grammy-winning violinist Augustin Hadelich brings his combination of Baroque clarity and modern lyricism to a program of Samuel Barber at David Geffen Hall. He is joined by conductor Dima Slobodeniouk; Barber’s mid‑20th‑century idiom—long melodic lines and occasional sharper dissonance—foregrounds direct emotional address over theoretical display.

Samuel Barber
