Star violinist Daniel Hope enchants Anklam with Irish music!
A musical highlight is coming: star violinist Daniel Hope is coming to Anklam! On Saturday, August 30th, at 7 p.m. he will perform with his AIR ensemble in St. Mary's Church. Concertgoers can look forward to a rousing mix of traditional folk tunes and popular pub classics. A special melange awaits the listeners, as Hope combines the sounds of traditional Irish music with appreciated works from the Renaissance and Baroque. How Northern Courier reports, the artist also has Irish roots that accompany him to this day.
But who is this Daniel Hope? Born in South Africa in 1973, he has both a German and an Irish passport. His connection to Ireland goes back to his great-grandfather, Daniel McKenna, who emigrated from Waterford, Ireland in the late 19th century. These roots are not only important to Hope, but also influence his musical career. Hope's commitment to Irish music is impressively evident on his album "Irish Roots", which he released on July 5, 2024 on Deutsche Grammophon. How German gramophone documented, the album combines a wide variety of influences and addresses his Irish roots.
A musical journey through your own history
In a film project that highlights Daniel Hope's Irish roots, the violinist goes on a journey through Ireland in an old Morris Traveler to explore his ancestors and their musical traditions. It becomes clear that the country in which he has never lived has a special meaning for Hope. The connection between music and history becomes clear during his encounters with Irish musicians, as in the WDR documentation can be seen.
The album “Irish Roots”, which combines traditional Irish melodies with baroque pieces, includes well-known songs such as “Molly Malone” and “Danny Boy”. Hope's musical partners on this journey are high-profile musicians including Sir James and Lady Jeanne Galway and the Thessaloniki State Symphony Orchestra. For many fans, it will be a big event to see him live in Anklam on August 30, 2025.
The concerts, which will take place as part of the “Irish Roots Tour” from July 2024 to January 2025, will take Hope through Germany, Switzerland, Italy and Belgium, where he will present a magnificent musical variety in numerous cities. Hope draws his life path and his artistic influences from his colorful family tradition and the powerful Irish music that he has known and appreciated since his childhood.
