Daniel Hope : Chamber orchestra

Weihnachten mit Daniel Hope

Daniel Hope, a renowned violinist and entertainer, welcomes guests to the Philharmonie Essen for "A Very Warm Welcome." Joined by the Belgrade Chamber Orchestra and singers Lisa Wittig and Bettina Ranch, he'll present a festive program featuring music from Bach to Humperdinck, alongside arrangements of international Christmas classics.

Daniel Hope / Zürcher Kammerorchester

What Daniel Hope begins becomes a success: from his beginnings as a highly talented pupil of Yehudi Menuhin to his time as primarius of the Beaux Arts Trio and his current, multi-faceted activities as author, presenter, soloist, festival and ensemble director. The charming violinist and emcee is an all too welcome guest on the Elbphilharmonie stage. In his wonderfully compiled programme »America«, Daniel Hope proves to be a knowledgeable travel guide through the land of unlimited musical possibilities – stops at Gershwin, Bernstein and Ellington as well as flying visits to Aaron Copland and Florence Price determine the route.

Ensemble Resonanz

Why would an ensemble that made its name performing rarities from early and contemporary music then turn to the most successful oratorio of the Baroque? Ensemble Resonanz would presumably answer, »Christmas without the Christmas Oratorio is only half the story. As often as you may have heard or played the piece, you still want to hear or play it again.« The ensemble has been performing its own version of Bach’s Christmas classic for six years now – pared down and with unconventional instrumentation, a little like a concert at home for friends. The concert hall becomes a sitting room, the musicians become a choir, and the work becomes chamber music with Baroque violas, electric guitar and vintage keyboards.
