The Boston Symphony Orchestra (BSO) has announced violinist Augustin Hadelich as its artist in residence for the 2025-26 season. Hadelich will make multiple appearance throughout the orchestra’s season, which will include orchestral performances, recitals, chamber music, and community engagement.
The violinist will begin the residency with an October 2025 concert of John Adams’s Violin Concerto, conducted by Andris Nelsons. He will then play once more with the orchestra in February 2026, performing Thomas Adès’s violin concerto Concentric Paths with the composer conducting.
Recital programmes will include a collaboration with pianist Orion Weiss, as well as a chamber concert with the Boston Symphony Chamber Players and pianist Marc-André Hamelin.
As one of today’s leading violinists, US–German Hadelich has performed with orchestras including the Berlin Philharmonic, Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra Amsterdam, Vienna Philharmonic, Gewandhausorchester Leipzig, Los Angeles Philharmonic, Cleveland Orchestra and more. He is the 2024-25 season artist in residence at the Dresden Philharmonic, and his 2024-25 season includes tours with the RSB Radio Orchestra Berlin, Mahler Chamber Orchestra, Mozarteum Orchestra Salzburg, as well as the Academy of St Martin in the Fields.
Hadelich is a Grammy Award-winner for his 2016 recording of Dutilleux’s Concerto L’Arbre des songes with the Seattle Symphony and Ludovic Morlot. Other major awards include an Avery Fisher Career Grant in 2009 and a Borletti-Buitoni Trust Fellowship in 2011. He is a Warner Classics artist and currently plays on a 1744 violin by Giuseppe Guarneri ‘del Gesù’, known as ‘Leduc, ex Szeryng’, on loan from the Tarisio Trust.
