Pauline, for some reason I seem to remember Hilary saying she really likes working with women who have short hair, but I am still in a haze of meeting HH to exactly remember.
It was a fabulous concert. The Egmont, to me was particularly moving because of the wholeness of sound eminanting from the violin sections. There was only one sound, but it was warm, inviting, lush and not at all rough.
My favorite part of the Higdon was the second mvmt and the use of first and second stand players in some places. It was great seeing soloist/ orchestra interact this way.
Marin Alsop is a joy to watch conduct.

Michael, I'n sure you're right about Marin Alsop's answer to your question. I was too excited to remember the details. Ms. Alsop paid special attention to the violins during Egmont. I suppose that's the reason they played with such lush and varied tones during that piece. It was an all around great concert, wasn't it?

We saw Hilary Hahn perform this concerto here in Indianapolis a few months ago. It was brilliant. I really loved the interplay between the soloist and the sections as well.
