Viviane Hagner’s success in Poland
Viviane Hagner has been named Artist in Residence this season with the Poznań Philharmonic, and her performances include concerts on October 11th and March 7th. Tonight, she performs Aleksander Tansman’s Concerto for Violin and Orchestra, conducted by Łukasz Borowicz.
Hagner’s first visit to Poznań this season was on September 11th, on tour there with her Krzyżowa Musik Festival. She has been recognised for her contributions to cultural exchange between Germany and Poland, recently receiving the prestigious “Zasłużony dla Kultury Polski” (Order of Merit for Polish Culture) on August 29th, awarded by Jarosław Rabczenko from Lower Silesia’s authorities. Earlier in the year she was honoured with the Order of Merit of the Federal Republic of Germany (Bundesverdienstkreuz) by President Frank-Walter Steinmeier for her efforts in fostering cross-cultural collaborations, particularly through the Krzyżowa Festival.
Hagner recently gave an interview with Anna Plenzler, which can be accessed on the Poznań Philharmonic’s website here.
