About

Called “adventurous and brilliant” by the New York Times, Daniel Hope was named “the most exciting British string player since Jacqueline du Pré” by the London Observer.

A recent New York Times review summarized him as “a violinist of probing intellect and commanding style” and continued: “In a business that likes tidy boxes drawn around its commodities, the British violinist Daniel Hope resists categorization. Mr Hope, a compelling performer whose work involves standard repertory, new music, raga, and jazz, emphasizes thoughtful engagement over flamboyant display. In his most personal undertakings, he puts classical works within a broader context – not just among other styles and genres but amid history, literature, and drama – to emphasize music’s role as a mirror for struggle and aspiration.
