Hope has taken on work asso-
ciated with Holocaust survivors 
and Ukrainians. 
“On my mother’s side, her 
entire family was Jewish, and 
the feeling of the Jewish soul 
has always been incredibly 
important to our family,
” Hope 
said. “I live in Berlin, 10 min-
utes away from where that 
family lived. Their house is still 
there. It’s a part of my heritage 
and a part of my lineage, which 
I’m incredibly proud of. 
“I’ve done a lot of research 
about musicians who were 
forced to flee during the 
Holocaust, and I made a film 
10 years ago about musi-
cians who had been in the 
Thereseinstadt concentration 
camp and had survived. I told 
their story through music.
” 

DEDICATED TO UKRAINE
Hope made about seven trips 
to Ukraine before the Russian 
invasion and has since recorded 
albums to benefit the country.
“I’ve been playing in the 
town of Odessa as part of a 
festival called Odessa Classics, 
which was created by a very 
close friend of mine,
” Hope 
explained. “Some of the great-
est violinists have studied in 
Odessa or were related to the 
legacy of teachers who came 
from Odessa. 
“My violin teacher studied 
in Odessa. For me to go there 
the first time was tremen-
dously awe-inspiring. I was 

going there regularly and due 
to be there last year to make 
a recording, but then the war 
happened. 
“We decided to do instead 
what we could for Ukrainian 
music and culture and refugees 
back in Europe. We put on a 
number of fundraising concerts 
and came out with a charity 
album with proceeds to sup-
port the huge influx of people 
fleeing from their country.
”
Two albums in honor of 
Ukraine are Music for Ukraine 
and SILVESTROV, which offers 
the music of Ukrainian com-
poser Valentin Silvestrov.
Hope, who does a week-
ly radio show about music 
themes, would not step away 
from pandemic performance. 
He conducted streaming pro-
grams from his home. Four 
books, including a family 
memoir and one on opera pro-
tocol, hold his name as author 
but are not in English.
“We just completed a record-
ing with the New Century 
Chamber Orchestra,
” said 
Hope, married to artist Silvana 
Hope and the father of two 
young sons. “It’s called Music 
for a New Century, and it’s 
coming out in June. It will 
include work especially written 
for New Century. 
“We decided to look at the 
organization, which turned 30 
this year, and celebrate it with 
music especially written for 
us.
