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.
