"The signing of a virtuoso violinist like Daniel means that the West Coast will benefit more from his talents," said the founder of the Eliason School of Music.
The Germany-based Hope made his debut with the orchestra in February 2016 as guest concertmaster for a centennial tribute to his mentor, Yehudi Menuhin. He was subsequently offered an interim role as an artistic partner from October 2016 and has now taken on a contract as music director until the 2022-2023 season.
"The connection I felt with each, and every member of this fine orchestra was immediate from the first moment we played together," said Hope. "New Century has achieved a vast array of impressive milestones in their 25-year history and their eagerness and ambition to continue building upon this is contagious. I am honored to be a part of this inspiring journey and look forward to accomplishing many more milestones together."
The New Century Chamber Orchestra, founded in 1992, is a 19-piece conductorless ensemble which draws musicians from the San Francisco Bay Area as well as further afield in U.S. and Europe for a limited number of concerts per year.
