Coming To (2010) by Christos Hatzis was commissioned by two-time Grammy Award-winning violinist Hilary Hahn. This work appears on Hahn’s landmark recording project In 27 Pieces: The Hilary Hahn Encores, released by Deutsche Grammophon (0289 479 1725). Coming To has been hailed as a “real crowd-pleaser... alternating between airy lyricism and furious gypsy-like passion.” Coming To is a highly appealing and virtuosic work. It features richly- layered polyphony and calls for exciting left-hand and full strum pizzicato. It is sure to add bravura to any professional recital programme.
