Julia Fischer has cancelled her two performances that were scheduled for Wed, Mar 24 and Thu, Mar 25 at Rackham Auditorium, due to family concerns. Ms. Fischer is being replaced by cellist Pieter Wispelwey on Wed, Mar 24 and violinist Jennifer Koh on Thu, Mar 25. UMS has mailed a letter to all ticketbuyers with details about exchanging their tickets for that concert.
The 26-year-old German violinist Julia Fischer is recognized for her uncommon talent and exceptional performances in effusive reviews throughout the world. Winning the Yehudi Menuhin International Violin Competition at age 11 catapulted her into the spotlight, and she now holds the distinction of being Germany’s youngest professor (at the Academy for Music and the Performing Arts in Frankfurt). She made her UMS debut in November 2007 with the St. Petersburg Philharmonic, then returned in April 2009 for her UMS recital debut. BBC Music Magazine describes her as a “soulful musician who doesn’t let an ounce of ego come between the music and the listener.” Her recording of Bach’s Sonatas and Partitas for Solo Violin earned worldwide critical praise, including the rare distinction of winning three of France’s most prestigious awards, as well as the BBC Music Magazine’s “Best Newcomer” Award in 2006. These two concerts feature Fischer in the complete solo violin works of J.S. Bach.
