Winner of the 2015 European Cultural Prize for Music, he appears as soloist with the world\u2019s major orchestras and conductors, also directing many ensembles from the violin. In 2017, the documentary film\u00a0<em>Daniel Hope \u2013 The Sound of Life<\/em>\u00a0was screened in European movie theatres. Currently, he serves as Music Director of the Zurich Chamber Orchestra \u2013 an orchestra with which he is closely associated since his early childhood.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cListening to these dramatic, historically-informed performances, one is immediately struck by how Vivaldi\u2019s prefatory sonnets and musical sound-painting can become not mere evocations of natural phenomena but starting points for deliberate, and far more exciting, abstractions which find their loci in pure emotion. Especially to be welcomed is Hope\u2019s fluent, abundant decoration of the melodic line, particularly in the slower movements, which is echoed by the marvelously imaginative continuo section\u2019s own elaborations.\u201d (<em>Limelight<\/em>)<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Please join us at 2pm for a Prelude Recital with students from The Glenn Gould School<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p>Program:<\/p>\n<p>Johann Sebastian Bach: Concerto for Two Violins in D Minor, BWV 104<\/p>\n<p>Bechara El-Khoury:\u00a0<em>Unfinished Journey<\/em>, op. 77<\/p>\n<p>Felix Mendelssohn: Violin Concerto in D Minor<\/p>\n<p>Antonio Vivaldi:\u00a0<em>The Four Seasons<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Tickets, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rcmusic.com\/tickets\/seats\/105201\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u201cOne day I heard what I thought was birdsong coming from the stage.
