Tickets go on sale to the general public at 10 am today for An Evening with Hilary Hahn, The Florida Orchestra’s gala benefit concert. The three-time Grammy winner will perform Beethoven’s Violin Concerto with Music Director Michael Francis and The Florida Orchestra on Saturday, April 10, 2027, at 6 pm at the Mahaffey Theater.

Hahn melds expressive musicality and technical expertise with a diverse repertoire guided by artistic curiosity. She is a prolific recording artist and commissioner of new works, and her 23 feature recordings have received every critical prize in the international press. Hahn’s barrier-breaking attitude toward classical music and down-to-earth connection with audiences have made her a fan favorite. Her social media initiative #100daysofpractice has drawn more than one million posts from performers and students since she launched it in 2017. Her honors include the Avery Fisher Prize and Musical America’s 2023 Artist of the Year.

An Evening with Hilary Hahn is The Florida Orchestra’s signature fundraising event. Proceeds from the one-night-only performance support TFO’s mission to inspire, educate and unite the community through the power of music. Each year, the nonprofit orchestra’s concerts and free education and community programs reach more than 150,000 people across Tampa Bay.
