Silvesterkonzert

Five times the winner of the ECHO Klassik Prize, British violinist Daniel Hope has performed as soloist with some of the world's most distinguished orchestras and conductors. He is the winner of the Classical Brit Award, and has been nominated four times for a Grammy award.

A recent New York Times review summarized Daniel Hope 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.” Daniel Hope performs on the 1742 “ex‐Lipin´ski” Guarneri del Gesù violin.

Founded in its current iteration in 1854, the Baden‐Baden Philharmonic is one of Germany's oldest and most respected orchestras, with a history that can be traced back to the mid‐1400s. A familiar presence on the world's most prestigious stages and at events of international importance, the orchestra gave the world premieres of numerous, now canonical, works by composers such as Richard Strauss and Johannes Brahms; its roster of guest conductors and soloists reads as a veritable Who's Who of classical music's greatest names. The orchestra's annual concert programme ranges from small‐scale chamber concerts to the grandest of Opera Galas at Baden‐Baden's Festspielhaus, via an exceptional range of concert formats that cater for all ages, from the devotee with decades of concerts under their belt to toddlers experiencing orchestral music for the first time.
