Her ongoing commitment to new music is evident in her current project, "In 27 Pieces: The Hilary Hahn Encores." She has commissioned more than two dozen composers to write short-form pieces for violin and piano. She will tour these new works over the 2011-12 and 2012-13 seasons and then record them.
