Twenty-eight-year-old Munich-born violinist Viviane Hagner's recent debuts with the New York Philharmonic, Boston Symphony, and others have garnered praise for her highly intelligent musicality and a virtuosity well beyond her years. "Her rich, burnished tone, crystalline articulation and subtle expression grab attention and leave a lasting impression," wrote The Washington Post of her D.C. recital debut. "[Hagner] gave a spine-chilling recital, an almost hauntingly masterful display of technique and artistry."

Through live events in venues that criss-cross the landscape of the D.C. metropolitan area, WPAS invites all to share lifelong opportunities to deepen their cultural knowledge, enrich their lives, and expand their understanding of the world through the universal language of the performing arts. Established in 1965 by impresario Patrick Hayes, the organization flourished under Douglas Wheeler from 1982 to 2002. Now with the inspired leadership of President Neale Perl, Washington Performing Arts Society continues to be widely recognized as one of the leading presenters of the performing arts in the nation. After 40 years, the organization remains committed to Mr. Hayes' vision of showcasing the complete spectrum of the arts in performances of the highest quality, including classical music, jazz, gospel, contemporary dance, international music and art forms, and works that bend genres in provocative ways. Embracing both the traditions of the past and the vibrant artistry of the future, WPAS is committed to commissioning world premieres on local stages to support artists' creativity. Each year, WPAS presents more than 60 performances on 10 subscription series: Great Orchestras, Stars, Hayes Piano, Kreeger String, Celebrity, Jazz, Dance All Over, On the Edge, World Music and Movement, and American Roots.

Set in the nation's capital and reflecting a population that hails from around the globe, these abundant offerings both ground us in the great heritages of the world and allow our imaginations to fly, evoking fresh perspectives on life.
