At the start of SMF’s 29th season, the Mr. & Mrs. Curtis G. Anderson Associate Artistic Director Daniel Hope commemorates his 15th year at the festival with three original concerts with the Zurich Chamber Orchestra. Hope also serves as the Zurich Chamber Orchestra’s Music Director, and recently recorded Vivaldi’s Four Seasons with them on his 2017 Echo Klassik-winning album, For Seasons. Founded in 1945, the Zurich Chamber Orchestra is now one of the leading ensembles of its kind, and Hope is the first instrumentalist in their rich history to lead them in place of a conductor. The centerpiece of their SMF debut features four violinists performing Vivaldi’s Concerto No. 10.
